Lawyers spend a significant portion of their day drafting, reviewing, and refining documents in Microsoft Word. That's why Smokeball has brought Archie AI directly into the place where legal work happens.
Archie AI for Word just got more powerful — your AI legal drafting assistant, embedded natively inside Microsoft Word and powered by the full context of your matter.
Instead of switching between applications, copying and pasting content, or relying on generic AI tools that lack legal context, Archie AI works alongside you in Word, helping you draft, edit, analyze, and refine documents without interrupting your workflow.
Bringing Archie AI to your Word Workflow
Draft with the context that matters
Most AI drafting tools only see the text that's currently in front of them, but Archie AI goes further. Because Archie AI is connected to your Smokeball matter, it draws from relevant files, correspondence, evidence, events, notes, and tasks to inform its responses.
That means more accurate drafts and suggestions, and less time spent manually providing background information or documents.
Whether you're preparing correspondence, drafting court documents, or refining legal arguments, Archie AI embedded in Word helps ensure your work is grounded in the information that matters.

Stay focused and maintain drafting momentum
Switching between applications breaks concentration and slows progress. Archie AI for Word helps you stay in flow by keeping drafting assistance exactly where you need it.
Need to rewrite a paragraph? Summarize a lengthy section? Generate a first draft of a client letter? Ask Archie AI directly from the sidebar and continue working without disrupting your momentum.

Review every change with confidence
Legal professionals need control over every word that enters a document. That's why Archie AI applies edits as tracked changes within Microsoft Word.
Rather than automatically rewriting your document, Archie presents suggested edits for your review. You can accept, reject, or modify each recommendation, ensuring every change aligns with your professional judgment and firm standards.
You stay firmly in control of the final product.

Refine documents without starting from scratch
Sometimes the hardest part isn't drafting, but improving what's already there. Archie AI surfaces intelligent suggestions to help strengthen your work, including:
- Identifying gaps in your document
- Highlighting areas that could be clarified or tightened
- Extracting key insights from complex content
- Suggesting next steps and follow-up actions
Instead of rereading an entire document searching for opportunities to improve it, Archie creates a clear path right into the work.
Choose the right AI model for the task
Different legal tasks require different types of reasoning.
With Archie AI for Word, you can choose from leading large language models, including GPT, Claude, and Gemini, without leaving Microsoft Word.
- Need a quick draft of a client communication? Select a model optimized for speed.
- Working through complex legal analysis or cross-document review? Choose a model designed for deeper reasoning and more sophisticated outputs.
You have the flexibility to select the right tool for the job while staying within a single, secure workflow.
Built on the security you already trust
Security remains at the core of everything we build. Archie AI operates within Smokeball's secure environment, meaning your firm's data is never shared with third parties for viewing, training, or AI model development.
