Work through a matter by talking it through — in plain English.
The Discussion Assistant is Quillio's conversational AI for legal work: ask in plain English and it extracts structured data, reviews documents, compares versions, builds chronologies and drafts correspondence — with pinpoint references the lawyer opens and verifies before relying on anything.
The Quillio Discussion Assistant lets a lawyer work through a matter by chatting in plain English rather than learning a query syntax. It can pull structured data out of contracts and exhibits, review judgements and expert reports, flag inconsistencies between document versions, build a chronology from many files, and draft emails, submissions and file notes. It works across practice areas, every answer carries pinpoint references, and the lawyer reviews, verifies and owns every output — Quillio assists the work, it does not do it unchecked.
What it does
Instead of moving between separate tools, the lawyer holds a conversation about the matter. They can ask the Discussion Assistant to extract the key terms from a contract or form, summarise a witness statement with pinpoint references, compare a precedent against new facts, populate a complex table, or test an argument from the other side. Requests can be chained — pull the facts, build the chronology, then draft the file note — and the assistant works across family, commercial litigation, contract, property and construction, criminal, employment, personal injury, wills and estates, and corporate matters. The lawyer reviews and verifies before relying on any output; the references make that quick.
What you can do
Ask in plain English
Work the matter as a conversation — describe what you need the way you would brief a colleague, no query syntax to learn. Dictation is supported, so you can ask hands-free between matters.
Extract structured data
Pull the key terms, dates, parties and figures out of contracts, forms and exhibits, and arrange them into the table or summary you need to work from.
Review and compare documents
Review judgements, briefs and expert reports, surface inconsistencies between versions of a document, and compare a precedent against the facts of the matter in front of you.
Build chronologies from many documents
Draw a dated chronology together from across the file, with each event linked to the source document so the lawyer can confirm it.
Draft correspondence and submissions
Turn the conversation into a draft email, submission, file note or cost-disclosure letter, ready for the lawyer to refine before it goes out.
Chain requests across a matter
Follow one request with the next — extract the facts, build the chronology, then draft the note — so a whole task moves forward in a single conversation.

AI Discussion Assistant — questions
What can I actually ask it to do?
You can ask it to extract data from contracts and exhibits, review judgements and expert reports, flag inconsistencies between document versions, build a chronology from many documents, populate complex tables, test an argument from the other side, and draft emails, submissions, file notes and cost-disclosure letters — all by chatting in plain English.
Does it work across different practice areas?
Yes. The Discussion Assistant works across family, commercial litigation, contract, property and construction, criminal, employment, personal injury, wills and estates, and corporate matters, so the same conversational approach carries across the work you do.
Does this replace the lawyer's judgement?
No. The Discussion Assistant speeds up the work and gives you material to build on, but the analysis, advice and responsibility stay with the lawyer. It is built to support professional judgement, not replace it, and the lawyer reviews and owns every output.
