From blank prompt surface to governed matter readiness
Claude can be highly useful for drafting, analysis, and reasoning when the user supplies the right context. Intakit is built to maintain that context across the matter so work can be prepared before the attorney has to ask.
DONNA notices the matter signal
A message, intake change, document gap, or deadline pressure becomes visible as matter activity instead of another isolated prompt.
Context is already assembled
The attorney receives source-backed prepared work that includes the facts, evidence, and operational state behind the recommendation.
The firm governs the result
Approvals, revisions, rejections, and audit records keep consequential legal operations under attorney control.
Why Firms Choose Intakit
- Uses AI as part of a governed operating layer rather than presenting another blank prompt surface
- Maintains matter readiness across live firm systems instead of relying on the user to assemble every prompt
- Keeps prepared work tied to source evidence, attorney approval, and audit visibility
Frequently Asked Questions
- How does Intakit compare to Claude for legal work?
- Claude is a capable general AI assistant for drafting, analysis, reasoning, and summarization. Intakit focuses on law-firm operations: noticing live matter activity, preparing source-backed work, and keeping attorney approval and audit visibility attached.
- Is Claude a competitor to Intakit?
- Claude can be an ingredient in legal work, but it does not by itself provide Intakit's firm intelligence layer across inbox, intake, documents, deadlines, billing, approvals, and matter readiness.
- Why not just ask Claude what to do next on a matter?
- A prompt can help if the user supplies the right context. Intakit is built to maintain that context continuously so DONNA can prepare the next useful work before the attorney has to reconstruct the matter manually.
- Does Intakit claim it can decide legal strategy on its own?
- No. DONNA prepares work and source context for attorney review. Legal judgment and consequential decisions stay with the firm.
