PLANNED WEB AND DESKTOP WORKSPACE
OLC LegalWorkspace
For a quick question.For the whole matter.From the first documentto a legal draft.
OLC Legal Workspace is the planned web and desktop interface for OLC Engine. Ask a question or add a document. For work that develops over time, create a matter with connected documents, conversations, notes and drafts. Engine 0.1.0 finds legal sources, analyses material and prepares drafts. The planned Workspace will provide the environment in which you review findings and decide what comes next.

01 / WORKSPACE
Start with a conversation.Let the matter connect the work ahead.
A standalone conversation will support a quick question or an individual document without creating a matter. For longer work, a matter will connect documents and their versions, conversations, notes, legal sources, findings and drafts. Engine 0.1.0 preserves case memory across Conversations and Matters so work can continue from existing material and findings. Workspace’s client availability remains separate.
01 / CONVERSATION
Ask a question or add a document.
A standalone conversation for an explanation, analysis, legal research or a draft.
02 / MATTER
Continue where you left off.
A lasting matter context connects material, versions, conversations and previous findings.
03 / MATTER CONTROL
See what needs attention.
Missing documents, conflicting assertions, unresolved deadlines and suggestions for further work.
04 / REVIEWED OUTPUT
From findings to a draft.
Legal drafting with linked sources, corrections and approval of the final version.
The workspace is intended for legal professionals in law firms, notarial offices, companies, institutions, other organisations and public administration, as well as individuals managing their own legal affairs.
02 / CONVERSATION
Ask, compare, research.Build a basis for the next step.
In conversation, you will be able to request an explanation of a contract, a comparison of documents, research into legislation and case law, or a legal draft. Engine carries out research and analysis; the planned Workspace will show the sources used, open questions and suggested next steps alongside the response.
USED SOURCES
Open the source beside the finding.
Documents, statutory provisions and court decisions used in the work should be accessible beside the response or draft.
NEEDS ACTION
Check what is still missing.
The analysis should highlight missing material, inconsistencies and information needed to assess a deadline.
PROPOSALS
Assess the proposed approach.
You will be able to review, correct, accept or reject a proposed analysis or draft.
NEXT STEP
Continue without losing context.
Within a matter, the next task should build on earlier findings and retain open questions.
A conversation and its proposals may be retained in the matter, but a retained record does not by itself mean approval. Facts, findings and drafts must show what awaits review, what you have corrected and what you have accepted.
AI Notes will turn an audio or video recording of a consultation or meeting into a transcript and a note containing important facts, agreements, open questions and next steps. You will be able to review and approve the note for inclusion in the matter. The original recording, transcript, proposed note and approved note will remain separate; recording, processing, retention and access will require appropriate permissions.
03 / MATTER CONTROL
See what is missing.Decide what comes next.
Beside the conversation, the matter overview should show missing documents, conflicting assertions and deadlines that need checking. From a warning, you will be able to reach the linked source and decide whether you need additional material, a corrected record or further analysis.
MISSING INPUT / CALCULATION BLOCKED
No calculation without the required input.
If calculating a deadline requires the date of receipt, the calculation cannot proceed without it. The date, supporting evidence and rule applied must be checked first.
CONFLICT IN THE MATERIAL / REVIEW NEEDED
Check the difference against the sources.
If Engine identifies different dates for the same event in two documents, it should show both passages. The lawyer assesses whether they conflict and how that affects further work.
Which evidence is missing and which document refers to it.
Who asserts what, where it is recorded and what is disputed.
The event that starts the deadline, the rule applied and the calculation for the lawyer to review and confirm.
The document or legal source used, its version or validity as of a given date, and the cited passage.
Engine analyses material and proposes results; the planned Workspace will support source review and recorded decisions. Confirming facts, deadlines, legal analysis and the final document version remains the lawyer’s responsibility.
04 / WORKFLOW
From material and a questionto a reviewed legal draft.
The illustration follows a contract termination dispute. Engine compares the claim, response and termination notice, then prepares a draft letter requesting the missing evidence. The parties give different dates of receipt, Annex 2 is missing and the deadline remains unresolved. The lawyer reviews the letter before approving a version for export.
01
Instruction
The lawyer describes the task and specifies what the letter should address.
02
Material review
The review covers the claim, response and available annexes, identifying missing material.
03
Facts and assertions
Records of events and the parties’ assertions are linked to passages in the documents.
04
Unresolved deadline
The date and rule for the calculation still need checking; the deadline remains unresolved.
05
Linked sources
The claim, the response and the termination notice are linked to the findings and draft.
06
Draft review
The lawyer checks the draft’s content, source references and stated limitations.
07
Approval and export
The approved version is ready for DOCX or PDF export. Sending, signing and filing are separate steps.
The views illustrate the planned workflow from conversation to a reviewed draft. They are static representations of the OLW‑3.2 design; a working application is not yet available.
05 / DELIVERY
In the browser and on the desktop.With the same way of working.
The web client is planned first, with document upload or import. Later desktop clients for Windows, macOS and Linux are intended to work directly with files and folders you explicitly authorise. Both forms should use the same approach to organising matters, linking sources and reviewing results. Access to local files does not imply offline Engine operation.
COMPONENT ROLES IN THE PLANNED WORKSPACE
LEGAL OCR PIPELINE
Text from scanned material
OCR and document preparation are included in Engine 0.1.0, with links to source pages. The separately released Legal OCR Pipeline retains its own release record.
LEGAL SOURCE PIPELINES
Legislation and case law
Acquiring and preparing legal sources for Engine to retrieve during legal research and analysis.
LEGAL FACT EXTRACTOR
Records for Case Memory
Structured extraction is included in Engine 0.1.0. Extracted assertions remain review candidates and retain links to source passages. The standalone Legal Fact Extractor retains its separate private component record.
OLC ENGINE
Legal research, analysis and drafts
Engine 0.1.0 connects maintained legal sources, document processing, persistent case memory, analysis, strategy, legal drafting and review.
WORD CONNECTOR
Legal sources in Word
A separate public beta, distributed as source code, for legal-source research within a defined scope in Word. A connection with Workspace is planned and has not yet been implemented.
