Product updates to make your user experience faster and more efficient
August Team
Our team of engineers and lawyers have been hard at work since the launch of August to make constant improvements and new intelligent features.
Highlights
A unified Assistant with Auto, Instant, and Agentic modes routes every task to the right workflow—no guesswork.
Chat with Review: ask questions over your review grids to surface risks, deadlines, and summaries instantly.
Tabular Review upgrades: conditional columns, resize/reorder/pin, inline editing, and a Full Text view for side‑by‑side clause reading.
Translate text or documents into 25+ languages, right inside August.
Organization: Subfolders let you mirror client–matter hierarchies and take actions at any level.
Speed at scale: The uploads process handles 2.5M files, achieving a 73% speedup, and overall throughput has grown 20×.
Assistant
Unified Assistant, including two new modes- Auto and Instant.
Auto (recommended): Automatically routing each task to the best model based on complexity and time, so you don’t have to think about which mode to pick.
Instant: Optimizing for quick-turn work like drafting client emails, blog posts, or short memos.
Agentic: Purpose-built to deeply reason and expand, perfect for issue spotting, generating cross-examination points, or comparing multiple documents.
This setup ensures you get speed when you need it, depth when it matters, and the right model every time.
Edit Existing Prompt
If an original prompt doesn’t quite fit your needs, you can edit the previous prompt to test out a new version that will elicit a new response.
Regenerate Responses
Once a response has been completed, you can regenerate the response with the same prompt to test out different modes.
Tabular Review
Chat with Tabular Review
You can now chat directly with Tabular Review grids!
This takes you beyond static extraction—letting you ask questions, spot patterns, and generate analytics across entire datasets. Lawyers can instantly identify risks, track deadlines, and build client-ready summaries without the task of manual sorting by asking Chat questions like:
“Which contracts have uncapped indemnities?”
“Show all leases expiring in 2026”
"Which depositions mention issues about management delays?"
From due diligence to compliance tracking, this shift transforms grids from static tables into interactive, insight-driven workspaces.
Full Text View
We’ve added a new Full Text view that wraps all content within a cell, making it easy to see the entire clause or section without cutting off text. This is especially useful when comparing provisions side by side across multiple agreements—no more clicking in and out to read the full language.
Pinnable Columns
Pin columns so they remain sticky during a review when scrolling.
Editable Cells in Tabular Review
Responses generated by tabular review can now be edited on the platform, making it easier to create updated responses. Double-click a cell to enable edit mode.
Expanded Editor
Translation
August now includes a translation feature. Copy text or upload direct documents to be translated to over 25 supported languages.
