Document Analyser

​
Overview

The Document Analyser reads a property document for you and gives back two things:
  1. A structured summary — the key parties, dates, financial terms, and clauses, laid out clearly.
  2. An Ask Questions chat — type a question about the document and get an answer based on its contents.
It works on the documents already stored in your Documents workspace, so there is nothing extra to set up.

​
What documents can it analyse?

The analyser is designed for the documents buildings deal with every day:
Document typeExample questions it can answer
Leases”Who is responsible for window repairs?” “When does the lease expire?”
Deeds and licences”What alterations were consented to?”
Contracts”What is the notice period to end this contract?”
Insurance policies”What does this policy cover and what is excluded?” “When does cover expire?”
Meeting minutes”What was decided at this meeting?” “Were any resolutions passed?”

​
How to analyse a document

1

Open Documents

Go to the Documents area from the sidebar.
2

Click Analyse on a document

Find the document you want to understand and click Analyse. The first analysis of a document can take a little while for long files — you can carry on working while it runs.
3

Read the Summary tab

Once analysis is complete, the Summary tab shows a plain-English overview plus the structured details below.
4

Ask follow-up questions

Switch to the Ask Questions tab to dig into anything the summary did not cover.

​
The Summary tab

The summary is broken into sections so you can jump straight to what you need:

Summary

A short plain-English overview of what the document is and what it does.

Key parties

Who is involved — landlord, leaseholder, management company, insurer — with their roles.

Key dates

Start dates, expiry dates, renewal dates, and notice deadlines.

Financial terms

Ground rent, service charges, premiums, fees — with amounts and payment frequency where stated.

Property details

The address, unit, and building the document relates to.

Key terms

The important clauses, each with a short summary of what it means in practice.

​
The Ask Questions tab

The chat tab lets you interrogate the document directly:
  • Suggested questions — the analyser offers up to six tailored questions based on the document type and its contents (for example, a lease gets lease questions; minutes get governance questions). Click one to use it.
  • Type your own — ask anything in plain English. Answers are grounded in the document itself.
Good questions are specific: “Who pays for repairs to the roof?” works better than “Tell me about repairs.”

​
Who can use it

The Document Analyser is available by default for buildings and management companies on the platform. If you cannot see the Analyse option, it may have been switched off for your building or organisation — contact support or your administrator.
The Document Analyser is an AI assistant. It is a fast way to understand a document, but it is not legal advice — always check the original document (and take professional advice) before acting on anything significant.
