SUB–03 / LEGAL RAG · Legal RAG Navigator · Locally or in the cloud

A question about a contract — an exact answer with a quote from the source.

The agent works with regulations, contracts and legal documents in Russian and English (the language can be adapted to the Customer's requirements), strictly based on the uploaded data. It produces an answer with exact quotes from the sources. It can use both local and cloud models. Useful for companies and specialists for whom confidentiality and working inside a closed perimeter come first.

01Problem

Why generic search does not work for legal documents.

Four reasons to use a specialized agent instead of a general AI.

1

Risk of unsupported quotations

Without retrieval and citation controls, a language model may produce a plausible but unsupported quotation. In legal work, every excerpt must be checked against the source document.

2

The source cannot be verified

Without a link to the specific document, version and date, the answer has no evidentiary basis. A lawyer cannot confirm a conclusion without going back to the primary source.

3

Documents leave the perimeter

In cloud mode, document content is processed in the selected provider's infrastructure. Review the agreement, storage, access, and data-use terms before connecting it.

4

Different languages — different tools

Documents in Russian and English require switching between systems. A single tool for searching both language bases is often missing.

The Legal RAG Navigator reduces these risks by answering from uploaded documents, linking quotations to sources, supporting a local configuration, and searching both languages in one interface.

02Process

From uploading documents to a verified answer.

Four steps — from the knowledge base to a materials package for the lawyer.

1

Document upload

You upload regulations, contracts and internal policies in Russian and English. The documents form the agent's knowledge base.

2

Natural-language question

You ask the question the way you would ask a colleague. The agent clarifies the jurisdiction, the date and the search scope.

3

Exact quotes

The agent extracts the relevant fragments from the uploaded documents and produces an answer with verbatim quotes, source details, version and date.

4

Lawyer review

The finished package is handed to a qualified specialist for legal verification. The agent does not replace a lawyer.

03Advantages

Why this subagent is worth considering.

01

Working inside a closed perimeter

In local mode, documents, questions and search results stay within the company environment. Cloud mode is enabled only by explicit user choice and is subject to the selected provider's terms.

02

Every quote comes with a source

The answer is accompanied by a verbatim quote, the document details, the version and the date. The conclusion can always be checked against the primary source.

03

Local or cloud models

The search engine supports local and cloud models. In a local configuration with no external integrations, processing remains within the approved environment; cloud mode is subject to the selected provider's terms.

04

Two languages without switching

Work with documents in Russian and English in a single interface, without moving between tools.

04Audience

Who gets the most value from the subagent.

Each role gets a concrete result that fits into its own workflow.

What the human checks.

  • Does not invent quotes or generate text beyond the uploaded documents
