When to Use the Assistant

When to Use the Assistant
‍

The Assistant is designed for tasks that benefit from reasoning, iteration, and context. Use the Assistant when your work requires analysis, follow-up questions, or a multi-step approach.
‍

2.1 Use the Assistant for:
‍

Tasks requiring reasoning transparency - See how the Assistant conducts research, analyzes sources, and builds its analysis step-by-step.

Tasks requiring iteration and follow-ups - Refine outputs through conversation, add context as you go, or adjust direction based on initial results.

Tasks requiring integration with your knowledge - Combine external legal sources with your Library templates, precedents, and institutional knowledge.

Tasks requiring complex analysis - Multi-jurisdictional research, compliance assessment, contract review for specific legal issues, custom drafting, or any work requiring legal judgment.

‍

2.2 Use task-specific tools for:
‍

Well-defined, standalone tasks that don't require follow-up questions or iterative refinement:
‍

Summarize - Quick document summaries with predefined scope and structure

Email - Standard correspondence following clear templates

Translate - Document translation with consistent terminology

Simplify - Making content accessible without additional context

‍

These purpose-built tools are optimized for high performance on focused tasks with minimal or no prompting, where you know exactly what you need and don't require reasoning visibility, follow-up questions, or integration with research and analysis.
