FAQ
We’re here to help with any questions you have.
What exactly is Sidebar?
Sidebar is a legal co-pilot made up of AI-powered agents. Each agent is trained for a specific legal task—like contract summaries, clause drafting, regulatory tracking, or answering sales queries—so your team can move faster without sacrificing accuracy.
How is Sidebar different from generic AI tools?
Unlike general-purpose chatbots, Sidebar is designed for legal work. It connects to your policies, templates, historical contracts, and trusted legal databases. Every answer is grounded in context and citations, so you know exactly where it came from.
Can I trust Sidebar’s answers?
Yes. Sidebar prioritizes your internal knowledge base and vetted sources. It cites every regulation, clause, or policy it refers to, so you can verify before acting. Think of it as a sparring partner.
How does Sidebar fit into my team’s workflow?
Sidebar meets you where you already work. It integrates with Slack, your SpotDraft CLM, and connects to your knowledge hubs. This means legal requests don’t get lost, and business users get faster answers without endless back-and-forth.
Do I need to code to create my own agents?
No coding required. You can design agents in minutes by connecting them to your documents and tools, and customizing their prompts. From there, they’re ready to go to work.
How secure is Sidebar?
Sidebar is built with enterprise-grade security. Your data never trains external models, and all activity stays compliant with your organization’s most stringent standards.
Who is Sidebar best suited for?
Sidebar is built for in-house legal teams. Whether you’re handling high-volume contract reviews, supporting sales, or staying on top of regulatory changes, Sidebar scales your impact without adding headcount.
How does Sidebar help with legal research?
The Research Agent analyzes statutes, regulations, and guidance, providing sourced answers that save you hours of manual searching.
Can Sidebar track regulatory changes for me?
Yes. Sidebar monitors regulatory updates and highlights what’s relevant to your business, helping you stay compliant without drowning in newsletters.
When should I create an Agent versus just typing instructions in a chat?
If you find yourself performing the same multi-step task repeatedly (e.g., "review this document against playbook X, format the output as a table, and use a formal tone"), that is a perfect use case for creating an Agent. It saves time and ensures consistency for you and your team.
