Workbench
Work across your accounts in Irys Workbench
Once your accounts are connected, you ask once and Workbench plans the task, reaches into the systems you use, does the work, and brings it back into the matter. You do not relay files one at a time, and you do not leave to assemble your own toolchain.
Search and read across connected systems
Ask a question and Workbench searches and reads across the accounts you have allowed for that chat, so it works from the real record rather than from what you paste in.
Research and cite real case law
Ask a legal question and get real case law with working links to the actual reporters, plus web research when you need it. Citations link to their sources so you can open and read them. Workbench can also check the authorities in an existing document and flag ones that look unsupported or overstated.
Draft emails and create documents
Workbench drafts emails and creates documents in the connected services you allow. Email is drafted only, never sent. Documents can be created in the services you have connected, such as a Google Doc or a Word file.
Produce real deliverables
Runs return real, reviewable drafts rather than chat text:
- A Google Doc
- A downloadable Word document
- An Excel workbook, for example an index of every document in the matter
- An email draft ready in Gmail or Outlook
Because every result folds back into the matter, the next question already has what the last one produced.
Three limits worth knowing before you ask
| Limit | What to do instead |
|---|---|
| Tables in a Google Doc come through as plain text. | Ask for a Google Sheet or a Word file when the output has a table in it. |
| Uploads to OneDrive arrive as plain text. | Download the Word file from the chat and put it in OneDrive yourself. |
| An Outlook draft cannot carry a file Workbench made. | Attach it yourself in Outlook, or use Gmail when the draft needs an attachment. |
Stay in control while it works
You can watch Workbench reason, stop it mid task, or steer it in flight. The steering box is Guide Irys while it works: type an instruction into a running turn and Irys confirms with Nudge applied, then adjusts while the work is still in flight.
