Answers from your workspace
Asks questions across your analyses, findings and uploaded source documents, and quotes the passage it took each answer from.
Sidekick
The fast assistant inside your Encevra Desk.
Sidekick reads your analyses, Noetis findings and source documents, then answers questions, locates passages, compares and explains. It quotes exactly and names the document. It does not run an analysis, write a brief, or make a decision for you.
What Sidekick does
Reads your evidence. Answers in plain language.
Comparisons and summaries
Lays out where two documents agree or disagree, summarises a contract in plain language, and lists what's still missing before you can sign off.
Drafts you can keep
Drafts a short email, message or status update and copies it to your clipboard, ready to send yourself.
Gmail, with you in the loop
When Gmail is connected and you ask it to, it drafts a reply in your voice. You see the full message and press Send yourself.
Insight cards on request
When you ask for key numbers, it returns a compact card with the figures and what they mean, using only numbers present in your evidence.
Recommendations, not decisions
It can recommend a course of action when the evidence supports it. Recording a decision is always your press of the button, under your name.
What it does not do
Noetis still does the analysis. You still decide.
Sidekick is deliberately separate from the Noetis panel. It never writes findings, never runs an analysis and never edits a Decision Brief. When it suggests a decision, pressing the button records it under your name, not Sidekick's.

Three models
Pick the model that fits the question.
All three are fast. Switch between them from the button at the bottom-right of the Sidekick text box.
Sidekick
LightestInstant answers, lookups and quick drafts.
The default. Use it for fast questions about a document, finding or deadline, and for short drafts you will send yourself.
Scout
FastReads across analyses: comparisons, contradictions, deadlines.
When you need to compare two contracts, find where documents disagree, or pull deadlines from several analyses at once.
Counsel
AdvancedRecommendations, careful emails and decision-ready reasoning.
For a reasoned recommendation, a carefully drafted email, or a decision-ready summary you can act on.
Slash commands
Type / to start fast.
Type a slash in the Sidekick box to search commands, or use one directly. Each one expands into a clear prompt so Sidekick knows exactly what you want.
/compareCompare two documents side by side
/summarizePlain-language summary of the main document
/missingWhat's still missing before sign-off
/deadlinesUpcoming dates and renewals, soonest first

/recommendGet a recommendation with the main risk
/insightsKey numbers as insight cards
/updateStatus update for your manager
Buttons under answers
Sidekick suggests. You press.
- Open an analysis, mark resolved a question, or flag something for your attention queue.
- Copy email places a drafted message on your clipboard, ready to send yourself.
- Send email sends from your connected Gmail, but only after you review the full message and press Send.
- Record this decision logs the recommendation under your name. Noetis's brief stays the analysis of record.
Thinking and sources
See how it got there.
Every answer shows a Thought for N seconds line you can expand to read how Sidekick approached the question: which analyses, documents or emails it checked and what it weighed.
The toolbar beneath an answer lets you copy it, ask again, flag whether it was useful, and shows how many source passages it cited.
