What This Article Helps You Do

Facts is a new feature that helps you create and manage relevant facts for your legal matter. LawY retrieves all the relevant information that aligns with your facts to help guide the AI to produce more accurate, context-aware responses.

Each Fact Page is tied to a specific legal point or issue and provides a list of supporting facts, generated by AI and editable by you.


What Are Fact Pages?

Fact Pages contain AI-generated Facts that relate directly to a legal argument or issue in your case. These Facts help frame the context for the AI, improving the quality and precision of its responses when:

  • Drafting arguments

  • Summarising documents

  • Answering complex legal questions.

Key Capabilities:

  • Automatically generate Facts from case content.

  • Tie Facts to specific legal points.

  • Edit, delete, or add your own Facts.

  • Guide the AI with more targeted context.


How to use Fact Pages


1. Creating Fact Pages

  • Click the Matters section to view your Matter list

  • Click and open any Matter from your list

  • Click on the Facts menu at the top to open your fact pages.

  • When you open the Facts tab for the first time you’ll be prompted to create your first Fact Page.

  • Enter a Title and Description

    • The Title should reflect the legal point or issue, while the Description can provide additional context or details.

  • Then click "Create a new fact page"

  • Once you have created Fact Pages, you’ll see a list view of all your Fact Pages.

  • Click "New" to continue creating Fact Pages.

Tip: If your factual issue changes, create a new Fact Page rather than editing an old one.


2. Fact Page Menu Options

  • Each Fact Page in the list has a menu on the right side, providing additional options.

  • Selecting an option from the menu will take you to the relevant action:

    • Click ‘Edit Fact Page’ to modify the page

    • ‘Open Fact Page’ to view its contents

    • ‘Open in Chat’ to chat about just this specific fact

    • ‘Remove’ to delete the Fact Page

  • On the "Edit Fact Page" window, there's a History button that shows all changes, such as creation, title and description updates. You can also restore the page to a previous version if needed

  • Click ‘Open in Chat’ to start a new Chat focused specifically on that Fact Page.

  • On the Open Fact Page, you’ll see all the relevant details for each Fact. Refer to the Open Fact Page Details sections for more information


3. Fact Page Details (Quick Overview)

Each Fact Page includes:

  • Fact - AI-generated information retrieved from your matter documents.

  • Date - Obtained from your documents (if available).

  • Relevancy Score - AI rating that can be adjusted by you.

  • Labels - Tags to group and filter your Facts.

  • Document Reference - Links back to the source document for you to validate the information.

  • Reasoning - Explanation as to why the Fact matters.

For each Fact you have the ability to:

  • Copy

  • Delete

  • Search

  • Filter Facts by Label, Date, or Document

Note: Fact Pages automatically update with new Facts from uploaded or amended documents, which appear in Fact History for your review.


4. Creating Labels for Facts

There are three ways to create Labels.

  • Click the arrow next to "New" and select "New Label".

  • Create a new Label directly from the Labels tab by clicking the 'New’ button

  • Or add a label to an existing Fact by clicking the “+” next to the relevancy score and choosing New Label.

  • Enter Title and Description for the label.

  • There’s also a toggle for ‘Use AI to apply this label’. Turning this on allows LawY AI to automatically review your existing Facts and apply this label where relevant.


5. Label Menu Options

  • Once you have created Labels, each Label in the list has a menu on the right side, providing additional options.

  • Click ‘Edit Label’ to modify the page and ‘Remove’ to delete the Label


6. Fact Page & Label Shared Filters

  • Now that we’ve shown you how to manage Fact Pages and Labels, let’s review the additional filtering options. Note that both the Fact Pages and Labels tabs share the same set of filters: Search, View, Sorting, and the New button

  • Use the Search field to quickly find a specific Fact Page or Label.

  • Use the ‘Show Removed’ filter to view removed Fact Pages or Labels. If you accidentally deleted a Fact Page or Label or want to recover one, you can find it here and restore it easily.

  • Click "Restore" to recover a previously removed Fact Page or Label

  • Click "Sort by" for sorting preferences
