Editing with AI
The first draft is the starting point. Drafting's real power is the AI assistant beside the editor: ask for a change in plain language and it arrives as a tracked change — the exact insertion and deletion, shown inline — that you accept or reject deliberately. Nothing is rewritten behind your back.
The assistant rail
The panel on the right of the editor has two tabs:
- Chat — where you ask for revisions. Type a request, dictate it, or quote a clause into it (below). The assistant asks clarifying questions when a request is ambiguous, and revises the draft when it is clear.
- Sources — the consulted authorities behind the draft (covered below).
The header reads AI Assistant — asks clarifying questions and revises the draft, so you always know what the panel is for.
Asking for a revision
In the Chat tab, describe the change you want in plain language — for example:
Make the term three years instead of two.
Add a clause requiring the return or destruction of Confidential Information on termination.
Tighten the compelled-disclosure carve-out so it only covers court orders.
The assistant proposes the change as a tracked edit rather than silently rewriting the clause. Common revision intents are also available as one-click actions, including:
- Make it more concise — tighten without losing meaning.
- Strengthen the argument — make the language firmer.
- Add a clause — draft an additional clause and insert it as an inline tracked addition.
- Find supporting authority — surface law that supports a clause.
Working with a specific clause
You don't have to describe a clause in words — work with it directly:
- Select text in the document to ask the AI about just that passage; your selection is quoted into the composer so the revision is anchored exactly where you mean.
- Use Ask in chat on a quoted clause to switch the composer into a question, rather than an edit, when you want to understand a clause before changing it.
How tracked changes look
When the assistant revises the draft, the change appears inline in the Draft (Redline) view:
- Removed text is struck through in red.
- Added text is shown in green.
Each change also appears as a small edit card in the assistant, showing the old text and the new text side by side. From there you can:
- Accept — apply the change.
- Reject — discard it and keep the original.
- Edit… — open an inline editor pre-filled with the proposed text, tweak it, and apply your own wording instead of the AI's.
Reviewing changes in bulk
When several changes land at once, the review bar above the document gives you the bulk controls:
- Accept all / Reject all — resolve every pending change in one click.
- A live count — "1 pending edit", "All changes resolved" — so you always know what's outstanding.
- Undo / Redo — step back or forward through your accept/reject decisions (native ⌘Z is reserved for typing in Edit mode, so the bar provides this on the review surface).
- Resolved this session — a log of everything you've accepted or rejected, newest first, so you can see — and undo — what you just decided.
The three views
A view-mode control reskins the same tracked-change document three ways — picking a view never mutates the document:
- Redline — the working copy with tracked changes visible (struck-through removals, highlighted additions). This is where you review.
- Clean — every change applied, deletions dropped — what the final document reads like.
- Original — the document before any AI edits, with insertions hidden.
The Draft and Final copy lens tabs work alongside these: Draft is your editable working copy; Final copy is the clean version you export. A one-line caption under the tabs always tells you what the active lens shows.
Cited authority
The Sources tab lists every authority the draft consulted — statutes, cases, and your own documents — each as a card with:
- a type badge (Statute, Case, Web, Upload) and a jurisdiction flag,
- the title and a relevant excerpt,
- a relevance bar showing how strongly it supports the draft, and
- a link — a web source opens in a new tab; a document source opens the cited file at the cited page.
Where an authority backs a specific clause, the card shows a Supports § chip — click it to jump the editor straight to that clause. It's the traceability loop in both directions: from a clause to the law behind it, and from the law to the clauses it supports.
Jurisdiction and tone on follow-ups
Follow-up revisions can carry their own jurisdiction and tone so a single draft can, for example, add a clause under a different governing law without changing the rest. When you don't set them, the assistant inherits the draft's defaults.
