February 2026

Major release

February 3, 2026

Precision Drafting: XML Tools, Vision Preview, and Real Citations

Drafting now behaves like a real drafting desk: direct XML edits, visual QA before finalizing, and citations that read like a court-ready document. This closes the last mile between “good answer” and “fileable output.”

+

Precision editing tools for structured documents—targeted edits without re-running the whole draft

+

Vision preview so the AI can verify how your draft actually renders before finishing

+

Citations now render in readable, court-ready form with real sources (no placeholder tokens)

+

Draft history with clear milestones and one-click restore

+

Tables and document structure are now first-class: insert/delete/format tables; manage headers/footers and page numbers

+

Multiple simultaneous drafts inside a single chat session

Major release

February 2, 2026

Suit + Searcher: Faster Search, Background Query Streaming, More File Types

Suit got more resilient for real-world records, and Searcher got materially faster. You can throw more file types at it, walk away, and come back to completed results without losing sources.

+

Searcher is now ~92% faster in large runs (parallel search optimized from ~25s to ~3s)

+

Suit queries can keep streaming in the background; you can navigate away and return without losing progress

+

Source persistence: footnotes now stick to each insight and survive reconnects

+

Expanded CAD/GIS support: .dwg, .dxf, .geojson, .shp and related files with PNG conversion

+

Faster file previews through session-scoped caching and in-memory blob reuse

New capability

Paralegal: Steady Streams, Durable Sources, and Better Memory

Paralegal now feels steadier in long, high-stakes work: no duplicate messages, no disappearing sources, and smarter context handling for long matters.

+

No more duplicate messages during streaming; queued messages render cleanly

+

Sources stay visible across turns; “Act” and other sources no longer show as unknown

+

Context window auto-management: long chats summarize safely and retry on errors

+

Playbook memory is gentler and more intentional, ignoring one-off instructions

+

Edit and resend support with proper turn counting

Workflow improvement

February 1, 2026

Steno: Voice to Action for Legal Drafting

Just speak. We format. Steno drafts from speech like a lawyer—tap the mic and dictate naturally. Citations auto-format. Paragraphs auto-number. Section references auto-link. Say "Steno, fix grammar" or "Steno, switch to Marathi" and watch it happen.

Voice to action: speak commands like "new para 2.1.4", "bold that", "blockquote"—executed instantly

+

Auto-legal: recognizes section references, case names, writ numbers, and legal shorthand

+

Auto-format: numbering, indentation, headings, and structure without touching the keyboard

+

Resume prior sessions or export to DOCX

December 2025

Major release

Drafting Agent: AI Document Editing with Track Changes

The pain: “good answers” that still die in Word—broken numbering, lost styles, mangled tables, and zero accountability for edits. The Drafting Agent is built for lawyerly redlines: preserve structure, propose changes with track changes, and keep you in control.

+

Styles that stay stable: headings, numbering, lists, footnotes—kept intact across edits

+

Tables that remain tables (and survive revisions)

+

Track Changes + comments: propose redlines, leave reviewer notes, accept/reject deliberately

+

Template-aware drafting: keep your firm’s look-and-feel while changing substance

+

Research → draft handoff: bring cited research into a first draft without copy/paste

+

Edit an existing Suit document or generate a new draft from instructions

+

Version timeline: compare, revert, and keep a clean “how we got here” record

+

Targeted edits: @mention a Suit file to tell the Drafter exactly what to modify

+

Manual takeover anytime: you can interrupt, rewrite, and steer mid-stream

What this unlocks: petitions, replies, notices, term sheets, board minutes, audit memos—drafted and revised in one flow, with redlines you can defend.

New capability

December 24, 2025

Paralegal Persistence: Background Runs & Session Recovery

For multi-hour matters—show-cause responses, due diligence, regulatory mapping—you shouldn’t lose work because a tab slept. Paralegal now continues in the background and reconnects cleanly without dropping state.

+

Background execution: you can close the tab; the run continues

+

Reconnect without losing stream continuity or citations-in-progress

+

Session recovery for disconnects: no “start over,” no lost work

+

Explicit stop: work only stops when you hit the kill button

+

Chats persist through renames (session identity stays stable)
