Review all of your documents in one place
Upload documents to a Pillar, turn them into a Table, and let Clara reason through them with you — all in one split-view workspace.
Built for document review
Built for teams who extract insight from thousands of documents — quickly, accurately, and with confidence in every answer.
How it works
Everything happens in one connected view.
Step 1 - Upload
Build a Pillar
Drag and drop contracts, reports, or filings into a Pillar. Ardela organizes and indexes every file so your whole matter lives in one searchable workspace.
Drag-and-drop upload
Add documents in any format and Ardela indexes every file instantly.
One searchable workspace
Keep an entire matter together, organized and ready to query.
Step 2 - Structure
Create a Table
Turn a Pillar into a Table that pulls the terms, dates, and clauses that matter into structured rows you can scan and compare side by side.
Structured extraction
Pull key fields into clean, comparable rows automatically.
Compare at a glance
Review every document side by side in a single tabular view.
Step 3 - Reason
Reason with Clara
Open a split-view chat and ask Clara to query and reason about your Table. Every answer is grounded in your documents, with sources you can check.
Split-view chat
Ask questions while your Table and sources stay in view.
Grounded answers
Every response is cited back to the source document.
