In this release, we have significantly upgraded Aline's AI Chat:
- Performance, stability, and accuracy of Aline's AI has been improved in this release. As a user, the best frontier AI models are used for varying use cases, optimized for legal use. AI drafting (Claude 4.5 Sonnet), legal research (GPT 5.1/5.2), and AI redlining (Claude 4.5 Sonnet) are all optimized significantly for core legal tasks across speed and accuracy, tuned to legal workloads.
- The AI Chat Editor with "mentions" to attach files, links, and other context to AI Chat has been introduced. This allows true "semantic prompting" (e.g., "Compare @NDA X with my @Template NDA.docx and highlight material differences.").
- Saving prompts to your personal space, sharing prompts with your organization, and accessing battle-tested "Aline Prompts" has also been released. We've released 15-20 key legal prompts in Aline Prompts to help with everyday legal tasks that are critical for in-house teams.
