AI Modes: Ask, Draft, Review, Compare

The Four Modes

The AI assistant operates in four distinct modes. Each is optimized for a specific type of task.

Ask Mode

Best for: Questions about your document, general writing help, research.

The AI reads your entire document and answers questions about it. It can also help with general knowledge questions.

Example prompts:

• "What are the payment terms in this contract?"
• "Summarize the key risks in section 4"
• "How does German law define force majeure?"

Draft Mode

Best for: Generating new content that matches your document's style.

Draft mode creates content directly in your document. It respects your document's formatting, style, and tone.

Example prompts:

• "Draft a mutual NDA between Company A and Company B"
• "Write an executive summary based on this document"
• "Add a confidentiality clause after section 5"

Review Mode

Best for: Automated document review against custom rules.

Review mode works with Playbooks — reusable rule sets. The AI evaluates your document against each rule and reports departures.

Example prompts:

• "Review this contract for compliance issues"
• "Check that all defined terms are used consistently"
• "Flag any clause with a liability cap below €1M"

Compare Mode

Best for: Side-by-side version comparison with AI-generated change summaries.

Compare mode takes two documents and generates a detailed diff with natural language descriptions of every change.

How to use:

1. Switch to Compare mode
2. Select the original and modified documents
3. The AI generates a comparison report

Each change includes:

• The specific text that changed
• A natural language description of the change
• The type of change (addition, deletion, modification)

Switching Modes

Click the mode selector in the AI panel's toolbar to switch between modes. You can also type /mode draft or /mode review in the chat.
