OpenLex 0.2.2

Word add-in: the main tool for lawyers, redesigned.

  • A calm pane: your matter, the conversation, "Your data" and one main action, Review this contract. Everything else is in What can I do here? (⌘K / Ctrl+K).
  • Review a contract clause by clause: choose the side you act for, a firm checklist and focus areas. Each finding goes into the document as a tracked change plus a comment with the legal basis. The review ends with a summary, Accept/Reject per finding and Save as Word/PDF.
  • See what it's doing: a few plain steps while it works, "Your data: ✓ Nothing has left this computer" (or exactly where it went), numbered sources under each answer, and "checked against … ✓" on every suggestion. Stop keeps what was written.
  • Comments in Word work again, your draft is never overwritten, and the pane is keyboard- and screen-reader-friendly and follows Word's light/dark theme.

Document analysis and matter overview (Word menu, /analyse, openlex analyse):

  • A summary, parties, key terms, deadlines, obligations, and risks with suggested fixes. Every finding quotes the document word for word, and findings whose quote can't be found are removed. You get a readable report and a Word report.
  • Matter at a glance (openlex matters show): findings, deadlines, decisions, notes and sources, with recall search (openlex recall "liability cap") and a memo export.

Terminal app:

  • Works in the folder you start it in: it reads what's there, asks before saving or renaming, always asks before deleting, and can't reach anything outside.
  • Clearer everywhere:
    • you always know where you are and which keys work;
    • a first-run tour, examples and "Did you mean /model?";
    • Esc never quits, and errors explain what to do;
    • /copy, /save, /transcript;
    • accessibility settings: screen-reader mode, reduced motion, plain ASCII, no colour-only meaning.
