Matter intelligence: grounding and limits
- Summaries and Q&A cite excerpts from your indexed exhibits (PDF, TXT)—not facts outside that corpus.
- Human review is required before client send or signature; grounding warnings flag citation gaps.
- Monthly quota is shared with firm-wide semantic search (Starter 100, Professional 500 requests/month — see pricing).
- Without Anthropic, OpenAI covers the same scope; without imported exhibits, matter intelligence cannot summarize your file.

Why AI is essential for lawyers in 2026
In 2026, lawyers spend on average 40% of their time on repetitive administrative tasks rather than their core business. AI reduces this time by half, allowing you to focus on what really matters: advising clients and winning cases.
With your Anthropic API key, Claude powers documents, workflows, matter summaries/Q&A, and semantic search; otherwise OpenAI covers the same scope. You state the goal—the firm approves before anything ships.
Frequently asked questions
How can AI help lawyers?
AI helps lawyers automate repetitive work: matter intelligence (summaries from exhibits, Q&A over your matter corpus), legal document generation, conflict checks, deadlines, and semantic search. This saves several hours per day.
Does AI replace lawyers?
No, AI does not replace lawyers. It's an assistant that automates repetitive administrative tasks, allowing lawyers to focus on their core business: advising clients and winning cases.
What AI tools are available for lawyers?
When ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set, StableFloe uses Claude for documents, workflows, matter summaries/Q&A, and firm-wide semantic search. Without it, those features use OpenAI (GPT-4o). You keep final sign-off.
