Start with the document that actually arrived
Work from supported agreements, policies, exhibits, scans, images, screenshots, or PDFs while keeping the source available for comparison.
Contracts, agreements, policies, scans, and long documents often need preparation before a legal professional can use them. Think-Act helps turn supplied material into extracted text, structured notes, summaries, issue lists, and first drafts while legal interpretation and consequential decisions stay with qualified people.
Think-Act helps prepare the work. It does not make the legal call. Important output should be checked against the source and reviewed by the appropriate qualified professional.
Available for Windows and macOS.

Legal document review
Think-Act can help make supplied documents easier to inspect, organize, and draft around before a qualified reviewer applies legal judgment.
Preparation stays separate from judgment
Legal interpretation, advice, approval, and matter strategy remain with qualified people.
01 · Read the source
Work from supported agreements, policies, exhibits, scans, images, screenshots, or PDFs while keeping the source available for comparison.
02 · Prepare the review
Extract useful text, organize terms, summarize supplied sections, prepare questions, or build a first-pass review checklist.
For scans and image-based documents, see OCR & Document Intelligence.
03 · Prepare communication
Prepare internal summaries, memo starting points, explanations, checklists, or follow-up messages for editing and approval.
For writing-focused workflows, review the Writing Assistant.
04 · Repeat the method
Keep useful checklists, extraction methods, or summary structures while reviewing every new document and matter independently.

Qualified next step
The prepared result can save time, but the original document remains the reference when wording, names, dates, citations, cross-references, clause text, or another consequential detail could change how the material is understood.
OCR can convert supported image-based legal documents into usable text and supported working information so the reviewer does not have to begin from manual retyping.
Names, dates, citations, references, defined terms, clause wording, obligations, and other details should be independently checked where they matter.
A polished extraction, summary, or issue list should not hide ambiguity in the original legal document.
Filing deadlines, limitation periods, notice periods, court deadlines, and regulatory deadlines require the appropriate legal process and professional judgment.
Scan quality, layout, font, and image quality can affect extraction. Review the broader source-and-review workflow on OCR & Document Intelligence.
A summary or issue list can help a reviewer reach important parts of a document faster. It should organize supplied material and questions, not silently turn them into a legal opinion.
Summarize supplied clauses
Summarize the clause or section the user supplies while keeping the original wording available for comparison.
Prepare an issue list
Organize supplied terms, obligations, missing context, follow-up questions, or items the reviewer specifically asked Think-Act to focus on.
Organize terms
Prepare a table, checklist, term list, question set, or section summary that makes supplied information easier to inspect.
Keep the conclusion with the reviewer
Do not treat prepared material as an independent determination of legal risk, enforceability, materiality, liability, compliance, missing protections, negotiating position, or governing-law consequences.
Reviewer owns the interpretation
The qualified reviewer decides what a term means, whether an issue matters, what advice to give, and what should happen next.
Think-Act can turn supplied legal context, reviewed extraction, and rough notes into a useful first draft. The result is a starting point for editing, qualification, and approval rather than client-ready, filing-ready, or legally final work.
Internal summary or memo
Turn reviewed source material and notes into structured prose a qualified reviewer can correct and finish.
Explanation or follow-up
Prepare explanations, follow-ups, checklists, or structured responses without treating generated wording as legal advice.
Generated legal writing
Check facts, names, dates, citations, assumptions, and conclusions before anyone relies on the draft.
For focused rewriting, summarizing, translating, tone adjustment, and prompt-based drafting, see the Writing Assistant.

Reusable legal method
Skills are reusable instructions or workflow guidance. They can preserve a useful sequence, checklist, output format, or review method without turning that guidance into legal authority or access to another system.
Preserve reusable guidance
Reuse reviewed checklists, summary formats, issue structures, intake steps, and document-extraction guidance.
Separate guidance from matter data
A Skill does not itself store matter files, privileged content, credentials, legal conclusions, or external-system access.
Reuse after review
Carry forward reviewed instructions and checks, then apply them to the actual source and context in front of you.
A Skill preserves the method, not the matter. External systems and access remain separate. See Skills & Integrations for the capability boundary.
Keep a clean boundary between material Think-Act can prepare and decisions that belong to qualified professionals, organizational controls, and the systems already responsible for the matter.

External action is a separate capability
Sending, filing, publishing, changing another system, or taking another consequential external action requires an appropriate configured capability where supported. Without one, prepare the reviewed result for manual use. See Skills & Integrations before designing around external legal systems.
Use Think-Act within approved data-handling processes, and know which configured services may receive confidential, sensitive, or privileged material.
Use models, endpoints, storage, sharing practices, accounts, and other services approved for the information involved. Preserve source documents according to the organization's process.
Think-Act runs on the desktop, but the full path depends on the model, endpoint, connector runtime, account, and other services involved. Desktop use does not mean every task stays local or offline.
External tools bring their own behavior, permissions, runtime, accounts, and data-handling rules. Avoid enabling access the legal task does not need.
Think-Act does not determine whether material is privileged, whether a processing path preserves privilege, or whether a particular use satisfies confidentiality or professional obligations.
For broader permission, external-trust, data-flow, sensitive-information, approval, activity-review, and recovery guidance, see Security & Controls.
Begin with familiar, non-sensitive material and a result whose quality is easy to judge. Avoid making a confidential, time-critical, filing-related, or otherwise consequential matter your first test.
Useful first tasks

Choose a reviewable source
Pick an agreement, policy section, note set, or scan whose important content you know how to check.
Prepare the draft
Extract text, summarize a supplied section, organize visible terms, prepare a checklist, or draft an internal note.
Source-focused work
Extracted text, organized terms, or a checklist tied to the supplied material.
Working legal draft
A section summary, question set, issue list, or internal note for review.
Compare with the source
Verify important names, dates, wording, references, citations, obligations, and other consequential details.
Qualified review
Qualified people remain responsible for legal interpretation, advice, conclusions, deadlines, approvals, filing choices, and matter strategy.
Reuse the method
Reuse reviewed instructions or checklist structure while treating every new document and matter as matter-specific work.
A few boundaries are worth making explicit before Think-Act becomes part of a legal document workflow.
No. Think-Act does not provide legal advice. It can assist with extraction, summaries, issue-list drafts, explanations, memos, checklists, and other working material. Legal interpretation, conclusions, advice, client communication, and matter strategy remain with qualified professionals. The Desktop Agent page explains the broader prepare-and-review model.
Yes. Think-Act OCR and Document Intelligence can work with supported scans, screenshots, images, and image-based PDFs. It can prepare usable text and supported document information for review, but the extraction should not be treated as legally authoritative. Important wording and consequential details should be checked against the source. See OCR & Document Intelligence.
It means a starting point for qualified review. A summary, memo, explanation, email, checklist, or other generated text is not automatically client-ready, filing-ready, legally correct, approved, or final. Facts, citations, references, wording, assumptions, and conclusions still need review. See the Writing Assistant for writing-focused behavior.
No. A local or private endpoint is one technical control. It does not by itself determine or guarantee privilege, confidentiality, data residency, retention compliance, or professional obligations. Your organization must decide whether the complete processing path is appropriate for the matter. Review Security & Controls before using sensitive legal material.
Many preparation tasks can begin from documents and context you supply directly. Reaching another system or performing an external action requires an appropriate supported capability that is actually configured and permitted. Do not assume built-in document-management, contract-lifecycle-management, email, court, e-filing, repository, or other legal-system access. See Skills & Integrations.
Yes. A reviewed checklist, extraction method, summary structure, intake sequence, or issue-list format can become reusable guidance. A reusable Skill preserves the method; it does not turn previous legal conclusions into authority for a new matter and does not itself create access to matter systems or client data. Review Skills & Integrations for the capability boundary.
Yes. Think-Act has desktop versions for Windows and macOS and can be installed and tried before moving into a larger workflow. Check the downloads page for current installers and requirements, or compare plans if your usage or team needs grow.
Let Think-Act prepare the working draft, keep the source beside the result, and leave legal interpretation, approval, and consequential decisions with the reviewer responsible for them.
