Matter Agents

Headline

Hand off the long jobs. Keep the judgement.

Supervised agents plan, work, and have their findings re-derived by a different model family — so the only things that reach you are the decisions that need a lawyer.

All capabilities

01What it is

Matter Agents are supervised, long-horizon agents that take on multi-step jobs — diligence passes, document triage, research sweeps, standing monitors — and bring back decisions, not surprises. They plan, work, are independently checked, and promote cited work into the matter.

A completed agent run titled Disclosure Letter Reconciler, badged as a one-off matter agent using the Due Diligence Review skill. Tiles read 15 tool calls, 2.5M tokens, $5.84 and 9 minutes elapsed. A trajectory line reports the first error at step 3 and that the run recovered, with a link to what failed. Below, a five-step plan is fully ticked.

02In detail

01

Checked by a different model

Before an agent finalises anything, a second model from a different family re-derives each finding from only the passages it cited. A model checking its own work shares its blind spots; a decorrelated one does not.

02

Escalates when it is unsure

A human is pulled in on measured grounding failure or disagreement, not after an arbitrary number of steps — and the agent gets exactly one bounded attempt to correct itself before it stops and asks.

03

Configured, versioned, dry-run

Describe the job in a guided interview; the platform selects skills, sets the cadence and the guardrails, freezes the configuration as a version, and runs a dry run you review before anything is deployed.

04

Three scopes, one engine

The same agent runs against a matter, your personal workbench, or a firm-wide knowledge base — on demand or on a schedule as a standing monitor. Scope and cadence are settings, not different products.

03In practice

Provenance

Supervised, by default.

The loop pauses for a human at the gate that matters — and it is a second, independent model that decides which gate that is.

A supervised Matter Agent cycles through Plan, Execute, Reflect and Promote, pausing at a human approval gate before promoting cited findings into the Matter Wiki.

Matter Wiki

124

cited entries indexed this cycle

Each promotion writes a finding — with its source anchor — into the matter's living memory.

04Why it matters

How it fits the matter

Supervision is the point, and it stays the public posture: the agent does the legwork and proves its own grounding, you make the calls that carry judgement, and the matter keeps everything it learns.
