Short answer

How can I use AI to manage my document templates?

Your AI uses Docdown to look up your templates and see exactly which data fields they require. This lets you verify that you have all the right information before you start drafting. You'll see the specific requirements for every file you access.

The outcomes

What your AI finds

The AI pulls specific structural data from your templates to help you prepare for document creation.

INVENTORY

Template lists

The AI pulls a full list of every template you have available. You'll know exactly what's in your library without manual searching.

SEARCH

Targeted lookups

If you know the name of a specific file, your agent finds it instantly. It skips the browsing and goes straight to the file you need.

FIELDS

Required data

The AI inspects the internal structure of a template. It identifies every specific field and data point the document expects.

HUMAN

Manual updates

The AI only reads and inspects existing files. You still need to manually edit the actual template files if you want to change their structure.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask about templates.

The AI moves from a broad overview of your library to a deep inspection of specific file requirements.

  1. Cataloging

    Your agent starts by pulling a complete list of all available document templates in your account.

    list_doc_templates

  2. Locating

    When you ask for a specific form or contract, the agent searches your library by name to find the right match.

    search_templates_by_name

  3. Inspecting

    Once the file is found, the agent looks inside to see the specific data fields required for that template.

    get_template_details

  4. Reporting

    The agent presents the list of fields to you, so you can check them against the data you have on hand.

    get_template_details
