AI assistant

An AI that understands your practice —
not just the law.

MatterFirst's AI assistant is context-aware, matter-connected and human-controlled. It drafts, suggests and answers — but only acts when your team approves.

Context-aware chat

An assistant that actually knows your matters

MatterFirst's AI assistant sees your matter data, documents, tasks and timeline. Ask it questions and get answers grounded in your actual work — not generic legal advice.

  • Ask about matter status, deadlines and outstanding tasks
  • Query across all matters: “Which settlements are next week?”
  • Follow-up questions with conversation memory
  • Cite sources from documents and matter records

Capability 1 of 4

Answers grounded in your matters, not the internet.

Draft & suggest

Draft emails, notes and summaries in seconds

The assistant drafts client emails, internal notes and matter summaries using context from the matter. Review, edit, send — with full control at every step.

  • Draft client update emails with matter-specific context
  • Generate matter summaries for team handovers
  • Suggest next steps based on workflow stage
  • Create task lists from meeting notes or instructions

Capability 2 of 4

First drafts in seconds, ready for your review.

Human control

AI suggests. Humans decide. Always.

Every AI action is a suggestion — nothing executes without approval. Sent emails are reviewed first. Created tasks are drafted first. Your team stays in control.

  • All AI outputs require human approval before execution
  • Confidence scores on every suggestion and extraction
  • Full audit trail of AI interactions and approvals
  • Configurable AI permissions per role and matter type

Capability 3 of 4

Nothing executes without your approval.
