For lawyers
Citenook is a private Mac app that answers questions from your contracts, case files and notes, and shows the exact clause and page each answer came from. With a model on your Mac, client files never leave it.
"Which version did we sign? Where's the termination clause? What did opposing counsel's letter say about the deadline?" The answer is in the file somewhere, and finding it means opening document after document. General chatbots want the files uploaded, and they don't show where an answer came from.
Sample answers from made-up files, to show how Citenook answers.
What is the notice period for termination in the Blue Harbor supply agreement?
Either party may end the agreement with 90 days' written notice1. Notice must go to the addresses in the Notices clause, by courier or email with confirmation2.
