Your brief.
Sources before conclusions.
Jurisdiction, documents and professional review stay visible before anyone acts.

Move with a clear next step.
01Ask a question the law can actually answer
A legal question becomes useful when it names the jurisdiction, relevant date, facts and decision to be made. Astra AI is planned to help organise that context before analysis, including what is missing and what cannot be answered from a short prompt.
- Specify the country, state or forum when known.
- Separate facts from assumptions and desired outcomes.
- Flag dates that could change the applicable rule.
02Keep the source distinct from the conclusion
A persuasive answer is not enough for legal work. The intended research experience should let a reviewer trace each material proposition to a source and check whether that source is current, authoritative and relevant to the matter.
- Check primary authority where appropriate.
- Read the passage rather than relying on a summary.
- Consider contrary authority and later changes.
03Read documents in their matter context
A clause may look ordinary in isolation yet change meaning through definitions, schedules or earlier correspondence. The planned document workflow should help surface issues and comparisons while preserving the human task of interpreting the whole record.
- Include the complete document and relevant attachments.
- Connect an issue to the text that raises it.
- Check how the clause interacts with other terms.
04Treat drafts as work for verification
A first draft can accelerate thinking, but a legal memo, response or redline needs fact checks, source review and a decision on who may sign off. Astra AI should make uncertainty and reviewer state visible before any output is used externally.
- Verify names, dates, quotations and legal propositions.
- Mark unresolved assumptions and research gaps.
- Require the appropriate professional approval.
05Set permissions before adding sensitive material
Research and drafting may involve privileged or confidential records. Any future deployment should define who can access a matter, what data may be processed and how a human can review its use before teams place sensitive files in an AI workflow.
- Confirm the permitted data and user group.
- Agree retention and tool-use conditions.
- Keep a reviewable record of consequential decisions.
Before you begin.
Can I rely on an Astra AI answer as legal advice?
No. The intended tool supports research and preparation. A qualified professional must check the facts, sources, jurisdiction and current law before advice or action on a specific matter.
Will every answer include verified legal citations?
No such live capability is claimed. Source traceability and verification are design requirements, and any reference should be independently checked against the underlying authority.
Should I upload confidential client files now?
Do not upload sensitive material without a confirmed, authorised channel and agreed data-handling terms for that matter. The proposed AI workflow is not evidence of an approved environment.
Scope and availability
Astra AI is a planned legal-intelligence product. Research, citations, document analysis, drafting, matter memory, audit trails and security controls are design goals, not verified live features. AI output cannot replace qualified legal review.
