Sometimes you’re in the middle of a conversation — analyzing a document, drafting advice, working through a question — and you need to check what the case law says. Instead of switching to the legal research page, you can bring the research into the conversation. Open the Add sources menu in the chat toolbar, check the legal sources you want, and send your message. The AI takes your question, expands it into search queries tailored to each source, and runs the searches behind the scenes. The results come back woven into the AI’s response, with citations linking to the original material.

​
The timeline

Below your message, a timeline shows exactly what happened: which sources were searched, what queries the AI used, how many results came back, and which specific sources the AI drew from. You can click any source in the timeline to read it — Rettsdata and Lovdata open in Saga’s built-in viewer, while others link to the original document. The timeline is useful for transparency. You can see whether the AI cast a wide net or a narrow one, and whether it found what you’d expect it to find. If something looks off, adjust your question and try again.

​
Citations

Every claim the AI makes based on a legal source gets an inline citation — the same kind you see when the AI references your knowledge base or the web. Hover to see the original passage, click to open the source. Nothing is taken on trust; you can trace every statement back to where it came from.

​
Mixing sources

Legal research in chat doesn’t exist in isolation. You can enable legal sources, attach a file, draw on a project’s knowledge base, and turn on web search — all in the same message. The AI considers everything together. That means you can do things like compare a contract clause against both your internal guidelines and the relevant case law, without jumping between tools.
