Summarize, Draft, and Query Right Inside iManage Work Web Using AI Agent

By Ragav Jagannathan posted an hour ago

  

Law firms have invested significantly in knowledge management and document management platforms. Yet, despite these investments, a substantial portion of institutional intelligence remains dormant; stored, secured, and governed, but not actively leveraged.

Your firm’s most valuable institutional intelligence resides inside your iManage Work DMS. While iManage is exceptional for secure storage, governance, and document lifecycle management, attorneys often spend hours searching for specific clauses, tracing key dates across document versions, or summarizing lengthy matter histories.

What if you could query, summarize, and draft; without ever leaving iManage?

That is exactly what the KLapper Add-In enables.

Transforming iManage into an Intelligent Legal Workspace

The KLapper Add-In integrates directly into the Smart Sidebar of iManage Work Web, embedding a private AI agent within your existing workflow.

Whether your firm operates on iManage Cloud or iManage Work Server (on-premises), KLapper provides secure, tenant-contained intelligence that understands your firm’s documents, without data ever leaving your environment.

This is not an external AI tool.
It is intelligence built inside your DMS.

How to Add KLapper to iManage Work?

KLapper can be configured within the Smart Sidebar of iManage Work Web, allowing attorneys to interact with documents in real time. Once enabled, the AI agent becomes a contextual assistant, aware of workspace content, document previews, and matter-level files.

There is no need to switch tabs. No need to export documents. No need to copy-paste sensitive content into generic AI platforms.

Everything stays within iManage.

Let’s take an example relevant to legal workflows:

What Attorneys Can Do with KLapper Add-In?

Chat with Your Workspace

Traditional DMS search requires keywords. KLapper allows you to ask natural-language questions across an entire matter workspace.

Instead of manually reviewing documents, simply ask:

  • “What are the key deadlines mentioned across all documents in this Matter?”
  • “Has this client ever signed a non-compete?”
  • “Summarize the litigation history in this workspace.”

KLapper analyzes only the documents you have permission to access and delivers contextual responses instantly.

Side-by-Side Intelligence

With KLapper embedded in the Smart Sidebar, attorneys can interact with AI directly within the document preview window.

This means you can:

  • Query clauses while reading a contract
  • Extract definitions without opening a new tab
  • Validate obligations during review

You remain inside iManage, no workflow disruption, no productivity loss.

One-Click Summaries

Before even opening a document, generate:

  • Executive summaries
  • Key date extractions
  • Clause identification
  • Risk highlights

This dramatically reduces time spent skimming lengthy agreements or historical files. For due diligence, litigation review, and transactional analysis, the efficiency gains are immediate and measurable.

Smart Drafting & Filing

KLapper does not stop at analysis—it assists with drafting.

Attorneys can:

  • Generate clauses aligned with firm-approved templates
  • Draft first-pass agreements or letters
  • Modify language based on prior similar matters

With a single click, the drafted document can be saved directly back into the appropriate iManage workspace, maintaining governance and version control.

No external tools. No manual uploads.

Privacy First – Security Respected

Security is not an afterthought—it is foundational.

KLapper fully respects iManage’s permission structure. Attorneys can only query and access documents they are already authorized to view. The AI does not override ethical walls or workspace restrictions.

Your firm’s data remains private, contained within your tenant, and compliant with your governance policies.

Eliminating Digital Friction

Many firms experiment with public AI tools—but doing so often requires:

  • Downloading files
  • Uploading them to third-party platforms
  • Copying sensitive content
  • Managing version control manually

This creates risk, inefficiency, and compliance concerns.

KLapper eliminates that digital friction.
Your work, your data, and your AI remain securely inside iManage.

From Storage System to Strategic Intelligence

Document Management Systems were designed to store and organize information. Today’s legal landscape demands more—firms need systems that interpret, analyze, and accelerate knowledge. By embedding AI directly inside iManage Work Web, KLapper transforms your DMS from a passive repository into an active legal intelligence engine.

If your firm is ready to unlock the intelligence already residing inside your iManage environment, KLapper provides the most secure and seamless path forward.

Bring AI where it belongs, inside your legal workflow!
