Overview

 

Upon opening Matter AI, you will be greeted with a welcome message.

Details of the current matter will appear in the top right corner of the window. 

At the bottom of the window is the chat box where you will be able to ask Matter AI questions relating to the current matter.

Prompts

The Try a prompt for that box provides a curated list of legally pre-drafted AI prompts from LEAP’s AI Prompt Library, based on the query you have entered. When a highly relevant AI Prompt is available from the Library, it will be suggested to you. If the suggestion is not needed, it can be dismissed.

Suggestions

You may also select one of the pre-populated Suggestions provided by Matter AI. These suggestions are based on the matter type and the correspondence within the current matter. Suggestion prompts update in real-time depending on the previous questions you've already asked.

Proposed LawY Queries

If your question includes a legal research component, Matter AI will give you the option to invoke LawY to assist.

If you choose to proceed, a version of your research question (excluding any personally identifiable information) will be submitted to LawY, and the response will be incorporated into the Matter AI response.

The time it takes Matter AI to respond is determined by the complexity of the answer and not by the number of correspondence items within the matter.

 

For instance, if the answer contains extensive information or involves any calcuations, Matter AI will require additional time to generate the response.

Reviewing References

 

Depending on the questions asked, answers provided may include references to correspondence items where the origin of the information has been retrieved by Matter AI.

If the Matter AI response has multiple correspondence items attached to the reference, you can click the + icon next to the reference to view all correspondence items used.

To view any of the references, click on the document or click on for more options including Open, Chat about this document or Preview. 

You can start a new chat about a specific reference document by with the Chat about this document option. This will open a new chat with the reference document highlighted in the top right corner. 

The Preview option will open the document within the Correspondence Preview window. You will also be able to view all correspondence items on the matter in the left pane.

Regenerate Responses

 

You are able to regenerate any of the Matter AI generated responses by clicking the Regenerateicon in the bottom left corner of the response.

Canvas now gives users more control over the AI generated content. No more having Matter AI regenerate full responses just to tweak a paragraph. The Canvas feature turns the AI output into an editable canvas, helping you improve, add, or remove text in the response based on both the selected text and the instruction used. Use the feature by:

  • Selecting the relevant text section of the AI response.
  • Ask Matter AI follow-up questions or provide new instructions specific to the selected text; or
  • Have Matter AI regenerate just that selected text; or
  • Remove any part of the selected text response that you don’t want.

Copying Text

 

You are able to copy the text of any Matter AI generated response by clicking the Copy icon in the bottom left corner of the response.

Sending Responses

 

You are able to send any of the Matter AI generated chat responses to Microsoft Word or Outlook by clicking the Send icon in the bottom left corner of the response.

You can choose one of the following options to send the response:

  • Microsoft Word - Creates a new Word document and inserts the Matter AI generated response into it.
  • Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Outlook (with attachments) - Generates a new email with the Matter AI generated response automatically included in the email body.
