How the AI Agent Works
Understand what the CourtCraft Core AI Agent can do, how it reads your vault files, and how to ask questions that get the most accurate, case-specific legal guidance.
What the agent can do
UK Family Law Specialist
Deep expertise across Children Act 1989, Family Law Act 1996, Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, and Family Procedure Rules 2010. The agent cites specific sections, practice directions, and recent case law in every response — not generic summaries.
Real-Time Legal Research
Perplexity runs a live search before every response — surfacing recent judgments, updated legislation, and FPR procedural rules from 2018 to today.
Court Document Drafting
Position statements, skeleton arguments, chronologies, witness statements, and more.
Case-Anchored Responses
Reads your hearing dates, timeline, contacts, and finance data to give case-specific guidance.
Vault File Integration
Analyses uploaded evidence and saves AI outputs directly to your Secure Vault.
Text-to-Speech Output
Listen to any AI response hands-free — useful when reviewing documents or preparing in court.
What the agent can do
with your vault files
Your Secure Vault is more than storage. When you select files before sending a message, the agent reads the full document text and uses it as live context — giving you analysis grounded in your actual evidence, not hypotheticals.
Upload to your vault
Add court orders, witness statements, financial schedules, correspondence, or any case document.
Select files before asking
In the AI Agent tab, tick the vault files you want the agent to read for that session.
Ask your question
The agent reads the selected documents in full and references specific facts, dates, and figures in its response.
Save the output
Hit "Save to Vault" on any response to store it in your AI Generated folder for future reference.
Read & Analyse Documents
Upload witness statements, court orders, correspondence, or financial schedules. The agent reads the full text and references specific facts, dates, and figures in its responses.
Cross-Reference Evidence
Select multiple vault files at once. The agent identifies contradictions, gaps, and supporting evidence across your entire document set.
Generate & Save Outputs
Ask the agent to draft a position statement, chronology, or response letter. Save the result directly to your vault with one click.
Secure, Private Context
Only files you explicitly select are shared with the agent per session. Nothing is retained between sessions unless you save it.
How to ask for the best accuracy
The more specific your question, the more precise the response. These four principles consistently produce the highest-quality legal guidance.
Include the specific order or legislation
"What are my rights?"
"Under a Child Arrangements Order made on 14 March 2024, the respondent has missed three contact sessions. What are my options under the Children Act 1989?"
Reference your vault files
"Analyse my documents."
"I have uploaded the CAFCASS report from January 2025 and the respondent's Form E. What inconsistencies should I highlight at the FDR hearing?"
State the hearing type and date
"Help me prepare for court."
"I have a Dispute Resolution Appointment on 12 June 2025 at Manchester Family Court. Draft a concise position statement addressing the outstanding contact dispute."
Ask for a specific output
"Tell me about non-molestation orders."
"Draft a supporting statement for a without-notice non-molestation order application under the Family Law Act 1996 s.42, based on the incident log I have uploaded."
Pro tip: combine all four principles
The most accurate responses come when you name the specific legislation, reference an uploaded vault file, state the hearing type and date, and ask for a concrete output — all in one message. The agent will pull live case law, cross-reference your documents, and deliver a structured response with citations, application to your case, and clear next steps.
Every response follows a structured format
The agent is trained to deliver every response in four consistent sections — so you always know where to find the legal basis, how it applies to your case, and what to do next.
