How to Use Tiff: The AI Paralegal

The AI paralegal serves as your go-to assistant for drafting, research, and document analysis within ProPlaintiff. From the home screen, you’ll find a familiar chat interface where you can enter prompts or choose from suggested requests. You can ask it to create motions, subpoenas, batch draft interrogatories, or draft mediation letters. It also supports document uploads, allowing you to attach files such as PDFs from your computer or connected apps like Google Drive. By using @mentions, you can reference specific cases and prompt the AI to return detailed case information instantly.

The AI paralegal is especially effective for starting new cases, editing existing ones, drafting legal documents using case data, conducting legal research through a case law database, and managing tasks, calendar events, time entries, and expenses. With built-in agentic AI capabilities, it can also handle more complex, multi-step tasks. For example, you can prompt it to draft a demand letter for an existing case and suggest an appropriate demand amount. The AI will execute a sequence of actions, which you can monitor in the chat log, and once complete, you can review its work, ask follow-up questions, or request revisions in real time.

To get the best results, it’s important to write clear and specific prompts. Providing context—such as who the task is for, what you need, and why—helps the AI generate more accurate outputs. Using @mentions to reference cases and assigning tasks to team members further improves precision. Be explicit about the format, style, and jurisdictional requirements of the document you need. If you want content written in a particular tone or for a specific audience, clearly define those characteristics in your prompt. By refining how you communicate with the AI paralegal, you can significantly improve the quality and usefulness of its responses.
