Frequently asked questions about Referent
What is an AI-native law firm?
An AI-native law firm runs its routine operations on AI agents while the lawyer approves every client-facing action. AI handles the background work, and the lawyer reviews and approves all high-risk or client-touching decisions.
How do AI agents work inside Referent?
Referent's legal AI agents work from your firm's live matter context (clients, emails, documents, deadlines). Each agent owns a specific routine like intake or billing, does the legwork, and stages the result for your review. The rule is: AI prepares, the lawyer approves.
Why does Referent ask for access to my Google account?
Referent connects only to the Google services you choose (Gmail, Calendar, Drive) to file correspondence, sync hearings, and make documents searchable within matters. Access is scoped to feature requirements, and you can disconnect any service at any time, deleting synced data.
Is my firm's data used to train AI models?
No. Referent never trains AI models on your firm's data, never sells or monetizes client information, and never shares your data across customers. Your data remains private to your workspace.
