Drafting agents in Eve

Overview

Drafting agents are tools in Eve that generate fully structured, formatted legal documents based on your firm's templates and prior work examples. They produce documents like demand letters or complaints ready for finalization and sending, preserving your firm's specific formatting, style, and tone.

How It Works

Drafting agents differ from Eve's chat-based drafting in both process and output:

• Chat-based drafting generates unformatted text or quick answers in response to conversational prompts. The output is plain text that requires manual formatting and structuring, and doesn't naturally match your typical documents.

• Agent-based drafting creates complete, formatted legal documents that match your firm's standards. When you draft using a drafting agent, Eve applies the outline, style, tone, and formatting details from the example documents you provided when the agent was created — including letterhead, fonts, spacing, and structural elements.

Drafting agents are created once using 2–10 high-quality completed example documents in DOCX format. After creation, the agent lives in your firm's library and can be accessed from any matter going forward. You can generate as many documents from a single drafting agent as needed.

If your firm uses different document styles for different case types (for example, separate demand letter formats for car accidents versus slip and fall cases), you should create a separate drafting agent for each style to maintain consistency.

Key Terms

• Drafting agent: A reusable document generation tool created from your firm's example documents that produces formatted legal documents matching your firm's style and structure.

• Example documents: The 2–10 completed DOCX files you upload when creating a drafting agent, which teach Eve your firm's formatting, tone, and content approach for that document type.

• Drafting agent library: The collection of all drafting agents available to your firm, accessible from the Draft Document skill in any matter.
