One conversation, the right execution
Focused research uses grounded answers; multi-step work and requests for deliverables start an agent run. You can follow progress, give instructions to the active task and return to its outputs.
Assistant
Research, review and drafting in one conversation. Assistant answers focused questions from your sources and starts supervised execution for multi-step work, with approvals and deliverables kept in view.
01What it is
Assistant is the everyday conversation in your Workbench or Project. Ask a focused question for a grounded answer, or request a multi-step task and follow its supervised execution in the same conversation.

02In detail
Focused research uses grounded answers; multi-step work and requests for deliverables start an agent run. You can follow progress, give instructions to the active task and return to its outputs.
Work is scoped to your current matter or Workbench. When you select documents, the execution keeps that selection rather than silently broadening its search.
Eligible firm skills are selected when work runs. Your playbooks and matter context guide the work, while factual claims still need raw-source evidence.
The shared header switches between Workbench and Projects. Each Project opens in Assistant; Manage keeps files, matter knowledge and other settings close by. Long-running work continues while you move between conversations and documents.
03In practice
The Assistant at work
Read the findings, inspect their citations and see which documents the answer relied on — all in the same conversation.

04Why it matters
How it fits the matter
From the first question to the reviewable deliverable, the conversation stays with the matter, its sources and its permissions.
A short, tailored walkthrough — the citation firewall, the Matter Wiki, and a supervised agent, working on the kind of matter you run.
