AI Reasoning & Intelligence

Extended Thinking

Watch the AI reason through complex regulatory questions step-by-step. The system now employs deep analysis for queries involving conflicts, comparisons, or multi-source analysis.

Context-Aware Responses

The AI understands what documents and panels you already have open. Ask "summarize the report" and it reads from existing content instead of re-running queries.

Visible Chain of Thought

Expand the reasoning panel to see exactly which tools were used, what data was gathered, and how conclusions were reached. Token counts show full analysis depth even when display is truncated.

Search & Discovery

Unlimited Document Search

Removed artificial limits on search results. AI now searches your entire corpus - tens of thousands of documents ranked by relevance, not capped by arbitrary thresholds.

Unified Cross-Corpus Search

Search regulations, statutes, Register notices, and agency guidance documents simultaneously. Results are ranked by relevance across all sources, not siloed by document type.

Rate Limit Resilience

Exponential backoff with intelligent retry logic prevents search failures under heavy load. Deep research queries complete reliably even during peak usage.

Citations & Verification

Clickable Report Citations

Every citation in generated reports is now a live link. Click any reference to jump directly to the source document.

Citation Network Analysis

See what any document cites and what cites it. Trace the full network of cross-references to understand how regulations connect.

Citation Verification

Every citation the AI provides can be verified against the database. Invalid references are flagged immediately - eliminating guesswork about accuracy.

Document Generation

Professional Export Templates

Generate formal government deliverables with proper formatting. DOCX reports, redline comparison documents, and Excel spreadsheets with professional styling.

Styled Excel Exports

Spreadsheet exports now include formatting, column widths, and cell styling. Data is immediately usable without manual cleanup.

Copy with Reference

Copy button automatically includes the document citation with the text. Paste includes both the content and its source reference.

Visual Polish & Dark Mode

Full Dark Mode Support

Document panels, empty states, loading indicators, and all UI elements now properly adapt to dark mode with semantic color theming.

Improved Reasoning Display

Chain of thought streaming shows truncation indicators when content exceeds display limits. Visual "..." marker and "(showing last portion)" label provide clarity.

Enhanced Text Wrapping

Long reasoning chains and tool outputs wrap cleanly without horizontal scrolling. Better readability for complex multi-step analysis.

Session & Navigation

Persistent Research Memory

Save research notes, preferences, and working context that persists across sessions. Build on previous work without starting over.

Session-Aware Panels

Document panels automatically clear when starting a new chat session. No more stale data from previous conversations appearing after refresh.

New Chat from Anywhere

Start a fresh conversation from any page - profile, settings, or deep within a research session. Navigation works consistently across the entire application.

Reliability & Performance

Graceful Error Handling

Clear error messages when the AI reaches iteration limits or encounters issues. Recoverable errors explain what happened and suggest next steps.

Heartbeat Monitoring

Long-running deep research queries emit progress updates every few seconds. Know your analysis is working even during complex multi-minute operations.

Context Management

Intelligent context window management ensures the AI maintains relevant information throughout long conversations without losing critical details.

Modernization Tools

Digital Optionality Scanner

Automatically flag regulations requiring wet signatures, notarization, mail-only submission, fax, or in-person appearance. Identify modernization opportunities at scale.

Archaic Language Detection

Find outdated legal language like "heretofore," "witnesseth," and "said party." Prioritize documents for plain language updates.

Authority Chain Tracing

Trace any regulation back to its enabling statute. Understand the full legal authority chain - essential for rulemaking and challenges.
