# Why?

### **Why use Doc Chat?**

Doc Chat lets you interact with your documents using AI, so you can quickly get clear answers and find relevant parts without manually searching. It turns complex document review into a fast, interactive conversation.

✅ **When you *****should***** use it:**

* **To get quick answers from long or complex legal documents**\
  You don’t need to read the entire document, ask questions and get concise replies.
* **To find exact sections related to your questions**\
  Clickable references help you jump straight to relevant parts.
* **To rewrite or draft text directly in your document**\
  Layout-aware AI suggestions can be inserted with formatting intact.
* **To work with multiple files simultaneously**\
  Useful for understanding bundles of documents or transactions.
*  **To focus on legal content with a built-in filter**\
  The chatbot limits responses to legal topics, avoiding irrelevant answers.

***

❌ **When you *****shouldn’t***** use it:**

* **If you need fully reliable legal advice without verification**\
  Always double-check AI-generated answers before relying on them.
* **If you're working with non-legal topics or unrelated content**\
  The chatbot’s legal filter blocks non-legal queries, so it won’t help here.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.clausebuddy.com/doc-chat/why.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
