Ask Irys on a Matter
Every Matter detail page has a floating Ask Irys chat window scoped to that Matter. The AI already has the Matter's documents, chats, notes, tasks, and AI instructions in context — no manual attachment needed.

Ask a question
Quick Q&A happens in the floating surface — summaries, lookups, follow-up questions on the Matter's content.

Expand into the full AI Assistant

Conversations started in the floating window are saved into the Matter's Conversations panel automatically.
