What Ask Sque does

Ask Sque is the command center of the product — a multi-turn AI chat that knows your matters, your clients, your files, and your firm's rules. Ask it to research a question, draft a clause, review a document, or run a workflow, and it works from the same context window you've been building.

Unlike a general-purpose AI tool, Ask Sque is scoped to your firm. The model knows which matter you're in, which files are attached, which connectors are live, and what your compliance rules say before it writes a single word.

Context that follows you

The power of Ask Sque comes from what it knows when you open a conversation.

Matter context

Select any active matter from the context picker. Ask Sque loads the matter's parties, key dates, and linked briefcase files automatically.

File attachments

Drag any file into the chat — PDFs, DOCX, XLSX. Ask Sque reads and reasons over the full document inline.

Connector tools

Authorised MCP connectors (Gmail, Westlaw, Outlook) appear as available tools. Ask Sque calls them automatically or on request.

Models and controls

Sque gives you control over the model and how it behaves. Admins set firm defaults; users can override in Settings → Ask Sque.

SettingWhat it controls

Chat history and session restore

Every conversation is saved automatically. Access past sessions from the History rail in the sidebar or via the chat history page.

  1. 1

    Open History from the sidebar or go to /chat-history.

  2. 2

    Search by keyword or filter by date.

  3. 3

    Click any session to restore it — the model resumes with the same context.

  4. 4

    Share a session link via the Share button — recipients get a read-only view.

Starred sessions appear at the top of your history. Star anything you'll want to revisit.

Review tables and workflow integration

Ask Sque isn't just a chat pane — it connects to the other modules.

Review Tables

Open a review table alongside chat. Ask Sque can fill columns, compare clauses, and flag issues directly in the table.

Workflows

Run any published workflow from chat with /run or the workflow picker. The run status streams inline.

Important notes

Ask Sque respects matter permissions. A user without access to a matter cannot use Ask Sque to read or write its files.

Each model call counts against your firm's monthly AI quota. Check Settings → Usage to monitor consumption.

FAQ

Can I use Ask Sque without a matter selected?

Yes — conversations without a matter context work like general legal AI chat. Select a matter to unlock grounded, file-aware answers.

Are shared session links permanent?

Shared links remain active until the session owner deletes them or the firm admin disables sharing.

Can clients access Ask Sque?

Not directly. Clients access Sque via the Client Portal (Spaces) — they do not have access to Ask Sque.

How does billing mode work?

When enabled, each session logs a draft time entry to Billing automatically. You review and approve it before it finalises.

What's next

Open Ask Sque from the left nav or press ⌘K to start a new session. Select a matter, attach a file, and ask your first question.
