Document Intelligence: Analyse Legal Documents with AI

Legal documents in family law proceedings can be dense, confusing, and filled with technical language that's difficult to understand without legal training. From court orders to affidavits, these documents often contain crucial information about your rights, obligations, and deadlines that you need to understand.

RYTZ Document Intelligence uses advanced AI to analyse your legal documents and extract the key information you need. Instead of spending hours trying to decipher legal jargon, you can upload your document and receive a clear summary of what it means for your case.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use Document Intelligence to analyse court orders, affidavits, and other legal documents, understand the obligations they create, and identify important deadlines you need to meet.

Follow these steps to analyse your first legal document with RYTZ Document Intelligence.

1. 1

   Navigate to Document Intelligence

   From your RYTZ dashboard, click on "Document Intelligence" in the sidebar menu or main navigation. You'll see an upload area and a list of any previously analysed documents.

   The Document Intelligence feature supports PDF files, Word documents (.doc, .docx), and image files (for scanned documents). Most court documents are available as PDFs.

2. 2

   Upload Your Document

   Drag and drop your document into the upload area, or click to browse your files. Supported formats include:

   • PDF files (including scanned documents)
   • Word documents (.doc, .docx)
   • Images (.jpg, .png) for photographed documents

   Pro Tip: For best results, upload the original PDF if available. Scanned documents may have lower accuracy depending on image quality. If uploading an image, ensure the text is clearly readable.
3. 3

   Wait for Processing

   The AI will process your document, which typically takes 30-60 seconds depending on document length. During processing, the system:

   • Extracts all text from the document
   • Identifies document type (court order, affidavit, letter, etc.)
   • Recognises parties, dates, and key sections
   • Analyses legal concepts and obligations
   • Identifies any deadlines or time-sensitive requirements
4. 4

   Review the AI Analysis

   Once processing completes, you'll see a comprehensive analysis including:

   • Document Summary: Plain English overview of what the document is about
   • Key Obligations: What you must do or refrain from doing
   • Important Deadlines: Dates you need to act by
   • Parties Involved: Who is mentioned and their roles
   • Legal Implications: How this affects your rights and case
5. 5

   Ask Follow-up Questions

   Use the document chat feature to ask specific questions about the document content. For example:

   • "What happens if I miss the deadline in paragraph 5?"
   • "Does this order allow me to take the children interstate?"
   • "What are all my obligations under this order?"
   • "How does this affect my property entitlements?"

   Pro Tip: The AI maintains context from the document, so you can ask questions naturally without re-explaining what the document contains.

Document Intelligence includes several powerful features designed to help you fully understand your legal documents.
