Gmail add-on
Judicio for Gmail is a card panel beside your inbox. It calls itself Judicio for Gmail, subtitled Legal AI in your inbox. What it shows depends on what you are doing: one set of cards when you have an email open, a different one when you are writing.
- Where it runs: the Judicio panel in Gmail, on the web and on mobile.
- Sign-in: Sign in to Judicio on the first card. There is no pairing-code route in Gmail.
- Reading an email: six actions plus a question box, grouped under Understand, Ask and Do.
- Writing an email: Draft with Judicio, with a Tone and a Length, and an on-demand compliance check.
- Credits: the same balance as the web app. The cards do not print a price, so the table below is where costs live.
Signing in
The first card you see is titled Judicio for Gmail, subtitled Legal research, drafting & compliance, in your inbox. It explains what signing in gets you and offers one button: Sign in to Judicio.
Below the button sits a note in grey: Judicio is for existing accounts. Ask your administrator if you need a seat. The add-on does not create accounts.
Pressing the button opens Judicio's sign-in in an overlay. When it finishes, the browser page says Signed in to Judicio and Return to Gmail to finish. You can close that tab; the panel picks the session up on its own. If sign-in does not complete, the page says Sign-in could not complete and gives the reason.
Two entries live in the panel's overflow menu on every card: Open Judicio, which opens the web app, and Sign out of Judicio.
The home card
With no email open, the panel shows your account and what it can do.
| Section | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Account | Signed in as with your email address, and Plan with your subscription tier |
| What you can do | Three lines: Open an email, Draft with Judicio and Check before sending, each with a sentence explaining it |
| Connected mailboxes | One row per connected mailbox, or No mailboxes connected yet. |
Open Judicio at the foot of the card opens your Judicio dashboard.
If the add-on is switched off for your organisation, a warning banner says so and asks you to speak to your administrator.
Reading an email
Open a message and the panel becomes a card titled Judicio, subtitled Actions for this email, with the subject and sender in its header. Three sections follow.
Understand
| Row | What it says under the label | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Summarise | Key points, parties & what it asks for | Produces an Email summary card |
| Classify | Category, urgency & suggested next steps | Produces a Classification card |
| Extract deadlines & obligations | Deadlines, obligations & action items | Produces a Deadlines & obligations card |
| Include whole thread | A switch. Off by default |
Include whole thread changes what the three actions above read. Leave it off and they work on the open message alone. Switch it on and they read the whole conversation. If the thread cannot be fetched, the result card adds a note saying it covers the open message only.
Ask
A multi-line box titled Ask about this email, hinted e.g. What is the counterparty asking us to agree to?, with an Ask Judicio button. The answer comes back on a Judicio answer card with the question box repeated, so you can follow up.
Pressing Ask Judicio with an empty box gives you Please type a question first.
Do
| Row | What it does |
|---|---|
| File to a matter | Opens the filing card |
| File reply to this thread's matter | Files straight to the matter this thread was already filed to |
| Draft reply | Opens a Gmail reply draft written by Judicio |
| Billing narrative | Opens the billing narrative form |
| Redline attachment | Opens the attachment review card. Hidden when the message provably has no attachment |
| Run a workflow | Opens the workflow list |
File reply to this thread's matter only works once the thread has been filed. Before that it tells you: This thread hasn't been filed yet, file it to a matter first.
Two buttons are pinned to the foot of the card: Summarise, and File to a matter beside it.
Filing an email
File to a matter opens a card with three routes to the same result.
| Section | Controls |
|---|---|
| File to an existing matter | A Search matters box hinted Type a matter name, or paste a matter ID, a Recent matters grid, and File this email |
| Enter a matter ID manually | A Matter / project ID box, and File this email |
| Or create a new matter | A New matter name box, and Create matter & file email |
Filing without picking anything gives you Pick a matter from the search suggestions, or paste its ID. Creating without a name gives you Enter a name for the new matter.
A successful filing confirms Email filed to the matter., or Already filed (deduped). if it was there already. The card then offers a filing identifier, a count of attachments filed, Undo filing, a More menu holding Open matter in Judicio and Open Judicio, and a row reading File future replies to the same matter.
Creating a matter instead gives you a Matter created card naming the new matter and confirming the email was filed into it.
The other read-side cards
Email summary opens with Summary ready, then sections for Summary, Key points, Parties and, where there are any, Sources. It offers File to a matter and Back.
Classification gives you a Category row and an Urgency row, colour-coded by how urgent it is, plus a Suggested actions section.
Deadlines & obligations groups its findings under Deadlines, Obligations and Action items, each dated where a date was given. With deadlines found, Add deadlines to calendar appears at the foot. That needs a connected mailbox: without one the card says Connect required and offers Connect in Judicio and I've connected — retry. It confirms with Deadlines synced and a count of what was added and what was already there.
Redline attachment takes a Matter / project ID and, where your organisation has playbooks, a Playbook dropdown whose first option is Standard review. Review attachment starts the run and the card becomes Attachment review started with a Status row and View in Judicio. A message with no attachments says so.
Run a workflow lists the workflows available to you, each with its step count and a Run button, above a Matter / project ID box. It confirms with Workflow started.
Billing narrative takes an optional matter and two optional date pickers, Period start (optional) and Period end (optional), then Generate narrative. The result card gives you the Narrative and a Suggested time in minutes.
Writing an email
Start a new message or a reply, open Judicio from the compose window, and you get a card titled Draft with Judicio.
Draft
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| What should this draft say? | A multi-line box hinted e.g. Decline the proposed indemnity; offer a call. |
| Tone | A dropdown: Formal, Concise, Conversational, Advisory. Formal is selected by default |
| Length | A dropdown: Short, Medium, Long. Medium is selected by default |
| Generate draft | Pinned to the foot of the card. Writes the draft into the message |
Compliance
Check before sending runs a compliance check on demand. The card is precise about what it covers: Run a deterministic compliance check on the draft instructions you entered above. It does not read the final message body or recipients. There is no automatic send gate, this is on demand.
The result is a Compliance check card whose banner reads Instructions look OK, Review your instructions or Instructions flagged, followed by a Findings section or No issues found. The caveat is repeated on the result: it checked the instructions you typed, not the final message body, recipients or subject.
This differs from Outlook, where the check runs automatically at send time against the real message. The rules both use come from the same on-send compliance policy.
Credits
Gmail actions draw on the same balance as the web app. The cards themselves do not print a per-action price, so this is where to check before you run something.
| Action | Cost |
|---|---|
| Classify an email | 1 credit |
| Summarise an email | 2 credits |
| Extract deadlines and entities | 2 credits |
| Ask about an email | 2 credits |
| Billing narrative | 2 credits |
| Translate an email | 2 credits |
| Draft a reply | 4 credits |
| Thread timeline | 4 credits |
Where the balance lives
Your remaining credits are shown in the Judicio web app, not on the Gmail cards. Filing an email, undoing a filing, syncing deadlines and signing in are free. See Credits Explained.
When something goes wrong
The panel is specific about why an action could not run.
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| Open an email to use this action. | The action needs an open message |
| Your Gmail session for this add-on has expired. | Close the panel, reopen the email, try again |
| Judicio does not have permission to read this email. | Approve access when Gmail asks, or ask your Workspace administrator |
| A message about seeing only the subject and participants | Judicio has metadata access but not content. Approve full access when prompted |
| Gmail did not respond in time. | Temporary. The card offers Retry |
| Please sign in to Judicio. | Sign in from the home card |
| No active Judicio seat, contact your admin. | Your account has no seat on an active plan |
