AI Assistant

The AI Assistant is the central hub of Irys One. Every time you open the platform at core.iqidis.ai, the Assistant greets you by name and is ready to help with anything from a quick contract question to a cite-ready Agent memo or multi-source deep research memo.

What You See

Personalized Greeting

The Assistant opens with a personalized greeting that includes your name and a contextual prompt to get you started. If you are inside a Matter, the greeting reflects the matter context so the AI is already primed with your documents.

Input Bar

The input bar at the bottom of the screen is where you interact with the Assistant. You can:

• Type a question or instruction in natural language.
• Use voice input by clicking the microphone icon and speaking your query.
• Attach files by clicking the paperclip icon or dragging files directly into the input area. Supported formats include PDF, DOCX, TXT, and images.

File Upload Area

Above the input bar, a drag-and-drop zone lets you upload one or more documents for immediate analysis. Uploaded files are processed in real time and become part of the conversation context.

Mode Selector

A selector next to the input bar lets you choose between three modes that control how the AI investigates your question:

Agent is selected by default. You can switch modes at any time. See AI Modes for a full breakdown.

Quick Actions

Below the input bar, a row of pill-shaped shortcut buttons gives you one-click access to common workflows such as drafting an NDA, generating a contract, or summarizing a legal brief. You can customize which Quick Actions appear by clicking the edit pencil icon.

Modes

When you ask a question, you can choose one of three modes that control how the AI investigates:

• Agent (default) — Flagship mode. Runs a structured investigation that reads your matter documents, validates case law, and returns a legal memorandum with inline citations linked to source.
• Research (Legacy) — Single-pass lookup across the Irys database and case law sources. Fast, cited chat responses.
• Deep Research (Legacy) — Long-form narrative reports for comprehensive multi-source analysis.

See AI Modes for a full breakdown, or dive into the new Agent Mode.

Matter-Aware Context

When you open the AI Assistant from within a Matter, the AI automatically has access to every document in that matter. You do not need to re-upload files that are already part of the matter's document library. Ask questions like "What are the indemnification obligations across all vendor contracts?" and the Assistant will search across all matter documents to produce a grounded, citation-backed answer.
