IrysDocs

Using Irys in Word

Once the add-in is installed and you are signed in, the Irys sidebar is your AI workspace inside Microsoft Word. Toggle between Chat and Work using the buttons at the bottom of the sidebar.

Chat mode

Use Chat mode to ask questions about your document without making any changes to the document itself.

Examples of what you can ask:

  • "Summarize this document."
  • "Identify the key terms in this agreement."
  • "What are the payment terms in Section 3?"
  • "What is the standard for summary judgment in the Southern District of New York?"

Results appear in the sidebar alongside your document. You can copy any passage and paste it directly into your document.

Chat sessions

Conversations persist across interactions. You can:

  • View chat history — open the chat sessions panel from the sidebar header to see previous conversations.
  • Start a new chat — click the New Chat button in the sidebar header to begin a fresh conversation.

Work mode — Document Editor

Use Work mode when you want the AI to make changes to your document. The AI applies revisions directly in Word as tracked changes, so you always review before anything is finalized.

1

Switch to Work mode

Click the Work button at the bottom of the sidebar.

2

Give an instruction

Type what you need in the text field — for example, "Fix the grammar in this document," "Make Section 5 more concise," or "Add a force majeure provision after Section 4."

3

Review tracked changes

The AI applies revisions as tracked changes directly in the Word document. The sidebar reports the change count — for example, "Updated 38 paragraph(s) (tracked changes)."

4

Accept or reject

Click Accept All to keep the changes, or Reject All to discard them.

Quick actions

Three one-click actions are available in Work mode:

  • Fix Grammar — correct grammar and punctuation across the document.
  • Make Concise — tighten language and remove unnecessary words.
  • Professional Tone — adjust the tone to be more formal and professional.

Free-form instructions

Beyond quick actions, you can give any instruction in the text field:

  • "Rewrite the indemnification clause to be mutual."
  • "Add a confidentiality provision after Section 7."
  • "Make formatting consistent across pages 10–15."

The AI applies all changes as tracked changes for your review.

File upload

Need to reference another document while working? Upload additional files for the AI to use as context.

  • Supported formats: PDF and DOCX.
  • Limit: Up to 5 files, 50 MB each.
  • Click the paperclip icon in the sidebar to open the upload dialog. Drag and drop files or click Select Files.

Uploaded files are available to both Chat and Work modes for the duration of your session.

Upload to Library

Save your document to your Irys Library directly from the Word sidebar. Click the export/share icon in the sidebar header and select Upload to Library. Name the document and it will be saved to your drafts folder in Irys.

Your work in Word stays connected to the Irys platform — no manual upload, no file juggling.
