Questions on a file

Put a plain question to a document on a case and Tulip answers with the page it read the answer from. The page reference is the point: you check the answer against the file before you rely on it, the same way you would check a junior's note.

What it is

A faster way to find what a long document says, with the page named so you can verify it.

What it is not

It is not legal advice and it is not a substitute for reading the order. It does not answer from anything except the file you asked about.

Why the page reference matters

An answer with no source cannot be checked, and an answer that cannot be checked is worth very little in a law firm. Every answer here names the page, so verifying it takes a few seconds rather than a rereading.

If the answer is not in the file, Tulip says it is not in the file. That is more useful than a confident paragraph nobody can trace.

What it is good at

  • Finding what the court said about one point, last time.
  • Pulling dates and amounts out of a long order.
  • Telling you whether a document mentions something at all.
  • Getting a junior to the right page before they read the whole set.

What it does not do

It does not read across other firms' files, because it has none. It does not answer from the open internet. It answers from the file on the case, and nothing else.

Questions

Is our file used to train a model?
No. Nothing in your record is used as training data. Your clients' matters do not become somebody else's product.
What if it gets an answer wrong?
That is what the page reference is for. Every answer is checkable against the file in a few seconds, and a person is always the one who decides.
Does it work on scanned Marathi or Hindi papers?
Scanned regional-language documents are read, and quality depends on the scan. A bad photocopy is a bad photocopy for software as much as for a person.
