The full Descrybe web workspace for research, review, search, and source control

What is Descrybe Platform?

Descrybe Platform is the full Descrybe web workspace for legal research, analysis, brief review, direct source search, saved work, and exports. It is the place to use Descrybe directly, outside of Claude, when you want a structured research environment with legal sources close at hand.

The Platform includes DescrybeLM Research, Descrybe Review, focused search tools, citation lookup, source-law search, Legal Issue Explorer, history, saved work, and direct source review. A Full Platform plan also includes Descrybe Legal Engine access inside Claude.

What the Platform includes

DescrybeLM Research

A guided research workspace that helps move from a legal question to a structured answer, with research paths, authority checks, and source-backed analysis.

Descrybe Review

A brief and document review workflow for checking citations, quoted language, source support, and authority use before relying on legal work product.

Legal Research Toolkit

Direct tools for concept search, keyword search, case-name search, citation lookup, laws and rules search, and legal issue exploration.

Saved work and exports

Workspace features for keeping track of research sessions, reopening prior work, reviewing source trails, and exporting useful results.

Legal Engine access included

Full Platform access includes Descrybe Legal Engine, so Platform subscribers can also work inside Claude with Descrybe legal research tools.

When to use Descrybe Platform

You want a complete research workspace

Use the Platform when you want guided research, direct search, source review, saved sessions, and exports in one place.

You are reviewing a brief or legal document

Use Descrybe Review when you want a more structured citation, quote, and source-support workflow than a chat conversation can provide.

You want direct control over search

Use the search tools when you want to run concept searches, keyword searches, citation lookups, laws-and-rules searches, or issue exploration yourself.

You need to inspect source text closely

Use the Platform when the source trail matters and you want to open, compare, save, and return to legal sources directly.

Why the Platform keeps sources visible

Legal research needs to hold up after the first answer. The Platform is built to keep citations, quotes, treatment, source passages, and source documents close to the analysis so users can inspect the legal material behind a result.

Descrybe can help find, organize, summarize, and check legal sources, but it does not replace legal judgment. Important authorities should still be read and evaluated before you rely on them in a filing, memo, client communication, or strategy decision.
