app.rytz.com.au/chat is RYTZ’s conversational interface for asking questions, getting strategic advice, drafting help, and matter-specific guidance. It is one of the most-used surfaces on the platform — many users open it before any other tool.
What it is
Real-time conversation with Claude Opus, Anthropic’s frontier reasoning model, configured specifically for Australian family law and grounded in:- The platform’s Education Portal entries
- The Legal Research Library corpus (2,389+ Gold Standard legal vectors)
- Your Master Case File (parties, matter shape, history, current state)
- Your Evidence Portfolio (what you’ve captured, what you’ve tagged)
- The post-2024 / post-2025 Family Law Act framework throughout
What it can do
Answer questions
“What does s60I actually require?” / “Will my plan hold up if I file as Consent Orders?” / “What’s the threshold for varying final parenting orders?”
Draft and refine
“Help me draft paragraph 14 of my affidavit” / “Rewrite this clause to be less hearsay-prone” / “Review this proposed routine”
Strategise
“What are my options here?” / “What would a senior family-law solicitor think about this?” / “Where are the risks in my position?”
Explain
“Explain Rice v Asplund in plain English” / “What does the post-2024 s60CC look like compared to the old framework?” / “Walk me through the four-step property test”
Search and summarise
“Find me cases like mine” / “Summarise the Stanford reasoning” / “What evidence do I have on changeovers?”
Reason about your matter
“Look at where my matter is” / “What should I do this week?” / “What am I missing?”
Free tier vs premium
The assistant is freemium:- Free tier — first 5 messages per month free for every authenticated user
- Premium tier — unlimited messages, plus advanced features (working brief, file upload, deeper matter context)
What sets it apart
Three things this assistant does that a generic AI chatbot does not:1. It knows your matter
Most AI chatbots are stateless or near-stateless. The RYTZ assistant has full access to your Master Case File, Evidence Portfolio, and prior conversations. You don’t need to re-explain your matter every time. When you ask “what should I do about the changeover issue”, the assistant knows:- Who the parties are
- What changeover arrangement is in your draft plan
- What changeover-tagged evidence you’ve captured
- What was discussed about changeovers in prior conversations
- Whether FV is disclosed (which shapes the safety lens applied)
2. It is grounded in Australian family law
Generic AI chatbots produce family-law content but the grounding is varied — sometimes US, sometimes UK, sometimes general. The RYTZ assistant is grounded specifically in:- The Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) as currently in force, including post-2024 parenting amendments and post-10-June-2025 property amendments
- The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Family Law) Rules 2021
- The Evidence Act 1995 (Cth)
- High Court and FCFCOA case law (Stanford, Mallet, Rice v Asplund, Goode, Pierce, Polonius, etc.)
- Australian-specific procedural conventions
3. It is honest about limits
A subtle but important difference: the RYTZ assistant is calibrated to surface uncertainty rather than perform confidence. It will tell you when:- A question requires legal advice (and recommends a solicitor consultation)
- The answer depends on facts it doesn’t have
- Your matter has unusual features that make general guidance unreliable
- Recent legislation may have shifted the position
- Different cases have different outcomes on similar facts
What it cannot do
It cannot give legal advice. RYTZ provides legal information, not legal advice. Advice — recommendations specific to your matter and reliant on legal qualification — comes from a family-law solicitor.The assistant explains the law, walks the framework, and helps you reason about your matter. The decisions remain yours.
It cannot file documents for you. The assistant can help draft affidavits, forms, applications, and letters. Filing happens at the Commonwealth Courts Portal — by you.
It cannot represent you. Even with full premium access, the assistant is a research and drafting tool. It does not appear in court, attend FDR, or make statements binding on you.
It cannot guarantee outcomes. Family-law matters turn on facts; outcomes are not predictable. The assistant gives you the best-available reasoning; the matter’s outcome depends on many factors.
Sub-features
The assistant comes with several sub-features:Working brief
Toggle (⌘B / Ctrl+B) that focuses the assistant on a specific drafting task. Reduces context-switching cost during deep work.
File upload
Upload documents (court orders, the other party’s affidavits, expert reports) for the assistant to read and reason about.
Conversation history
Browse, search, and continue any past conversation.
Limits and safety
What the assistant won’t do, how to recognise when to seek a solicitor, and the safety overlay for FV-pathway users.
How the chat works
Architecture-level — what’s grounded, what isn’t, how answers are produced.
Asking good questions
How to phrase questions to get the most useful answers.
Where it connects
The assistant is the connective tissue across the platform:- Surfaces in every feature page as a “ask the AI about this” button
- Consumes from Master Case File, Evidence Portfolio, Education Portal, Legal Research Library
- Outputs into affidavit drafts, parenting plans, settlement positions, response correspondence
- Cited in the Master Case File’s strategy synthesis
