The AI assistant accepts file uploads — court orders, the other party’s affidavits, financial statements, expert reports, photos, anything else relevant to your matter. The assistant reads the file, extracts the relevant content, and reasons about it inside your conversation.

What you can upload

Documents

PDF · DOCX · Plain text · Markdown · Pages. Up to 100 MB per file.

Photos

PNG · JPG · HEIC · WEBP. Useful for screenshots of messages, photos of documents, photos of physical evidence.

Spreadsheets

XLSX · CSV. The assistant reads tabular data and can summarise, calculate, or extract specific cells.

Audio

MP3 · M4A · WAV (premium). Audio is transcribed first; the assistant then reads the transcript. Note the surveillance-recording warning in Evidence — uploading and organising.

How to upload

Two paths into the assistant:
From the chat. Click the paperclip icon or drag-and-drop a file into the chat area. The file uploads immediately; the assistant acknowledges the upload and offers a brief summary of what it sees.
From the Evidence Portfolio. If a file is already in your Portfolio, you can reference it inside the chat by name (“look at JL-3” or “review the school report from term 1”). The assistant pulls it into the conversation context without re-upload.

What the assistant does with uploads

Three modes depending on what you ask:

Summarisation

“Tell me what this document says.” The assistant produces a 2–5 paragraph summary covering the document’s purpose, the key facts asserted, the key claims made, and any structural features worth noting (annexure list, missing sections, etc.). Useful for quickly digesting the other party’s affidavits or expert reports.

Analysis

“What are the weaknesses in this argument?” / “What evidence does this rely on?” / “Where does this go beyond the s60CC framework?” The assistant reads the document with a specific analytical lens. Output is a structured analysis specific to your question. Useful for preparing responses or cross-examination.

Comparison

“Compare this affidavit to my chronology.” / “Compare this property valuation to the ones we already have.” The assistant cross-references the upload with your Master Case File or other Portfolio items and identifies inconsistencies, additions, or omissions. Useful for response-affidavit drafting and disclosure-checking.

Working with uploaded files in conversation

Once a file is uploaded, you can refer to it throughout the conversation:
  • “Show me paragraph 17 of that document”
  • “What does the document say about parenting?”
  • “Is there anything in there about super splitting?”
  • “Compare what they say at paragraph 14 to what I have in my chronology”
The assistant treats the upload as part of conversation context. You can have multiple uploads active simultaneously and refer to each by name.

What the assistant cannot do with uploads

It cannot edit the file in place. The upload is read-only context. To produce an edited version (a marked-up affidavit, a redrafted clause), the assistant produces the edit as text in the conversation; you copy it back to your editor.
It cannot vouch for authenticity. A document the assistant reads might be edited, redacted, or fabricated. The assistant treats the document as what it appears to be; verification is yours. (This matters most when the document is from the other party and you’re skeptical of its provenance.)
It cannot extract text from poor-quality scans flawlessly. OCR works on most PDFs; very low-quality scans, handwritten documents, or images with lots of noise produce imperfect extraction. The assistant will tell you when extraction quality is poor.

Privacy considerations

Uploads are sensitive. The platform’s defaults:
  • Encrypted at rest. Uploads are encrypted on storage in Australian-jurisdiction data centres.
  • Encrypted in transit. TLS 1.3.
  • Scoped to your account. RYTZ staff cannot read your uploads.
  • AI processing happens in Anthropic’s API with the contractual data-protection terms negotiated for the platform. Uploads are not used to train models.
  • Retention. Uploads persist for the life of the conversation. You can delete an upload at any time from the conversation’s file list.
For very-sensitive uploads (FV-related material, mental-health records), consider uploading only the specific page or paragraph you want analysed, not the full document.
Strip privileged material before uploading. If you have a document containing your own legal advice (from a lawyer’s letter), strip the legal-advice content before uploading. Once uploaded and shared with the other party in any form, privilege over that content may be lost.

Common upload patterns

PatternWhy
Upload the other party’s affidavit, ask for a 5-weakness analysisStandard response-affidavit prep
Upload a court direction, ask “what does this require me to do by when?”Translates legalese into actionable to-do
Upload an expert report, ask “what does this say my matter looks like?”Summarises long technical documents
Upload a screenshot of a message exchange, ask “is this hearsay if I quote it in an affidavit?”Admissibility checking
Upload a financial statement, ask “what’s the asset pool?”Quick property-position calculation
