## 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](/features/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 type          | Example 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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Documents">
    Go to the **Documents** area from the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the Summary tab">
    Once analysis is complete, the **Summary** tab shows a plain-English overview plus the structured details below.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask follow-up questions">
    Switch to the **Ask Questions** tab to dig into anything the summary did not cover.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## The Summary tab

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

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Summary" icon="file-text">
    A short plain-English overview of what the document is and what it does.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Key parties" icon="users">
    Who is involved — landlord, leaseholder, management company, insurer — with their roles.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Key dates" icon="calendar">
    Start dates, expiry dates, renewal dates, and notice deadlines.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Financial terms" icon="wallet">
    Ground rent, service charges, premiums, fees — with amounts and payment frequency where stated.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Property details" icon="map-pin">
    The address, unit, and building the document relates to.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Key terms" icon="scale">
    The important clauses, each with a short summary of what it means in practice.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## 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.

<Tip>
  Good questions are specific: "Who pays for repairs to the roof?" works better than "Tell me about repairs."
</Tip>

## 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.

<Warning>
  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.
