A tour of the chat interface

One interface handles drafting, research, review, and consultation.

Understand credits and plans

How usage is measured, and what happens when you're running low.

2 min
  1. 1

    Everything runs on credits

    Chat messages, drafts, research, and document reviews each draw from your monthly credit allocation.

    It includes 100 credits a month and resets automatically each cycle — no card required to start.

  3. 3

    Paid plans unlock more

    Associate and Partner raise your monthly allocation and add priority support; Law Enterprise is a custom plan for firms.

  4. 4

    Track usage anytime

    Head to Profile → Subscription & Billing to see exactly how many credits you have left and when they renew.

You'll see a low-credit warning on your subscription page before you actually run out — no surprises mid-task.

    Not resolved? Escalate to email

    If the AI can't sort it out, use 'Email us' on the same page — your chat transcript comes with it, so you don't have to re-explain anything.
