Start from a Designed Workflow
With a ready-to-run agent, you start with an AI workflow already designed around a specific legal task rather than constructing and prompting each stage separately.

What Are Ready-to-Run AI Agents for Legal Work?
Ready-to-run legal AI agents are pre-built AI workflows designed to carry out specific legal tasks through multiple steps.
With ManuWorks.ai, a legal professional can select an agent based on the task they need to perform, provide the relevant documents and instructions, and run the agent. The agent works through the required steps and delivers an outcome for the legal professional to review and verify.
This means you don't have to design the workflow or prompt AI separately at every stage. AI does the groundwork. The lawyer verifies, analyses and exercises judgment.
Who Can Use Legal AI Agents?
Ready-to-run AI agents can be used by legal professionals handling repeatable or multi-step legal work, including:
- Lawyers and advocates
- Law firms
- In-house legal teams
- Corporate legal departments
- Legal research teams
- Compliance professionals
The appropriate agent depends on the legal task and the outcome required.
Why Use a Ready-to-Run AI Agent?
Many legal tasks are not completed with a single question or prompt. You may know the outcome you need, but reaching it can involve several steps - reviewing documents, identifying issues, analysing information, researching relevant law, comparing findings or preparing an output.
Work Towards an Outcome
Choose the task, provide the information, run the agent, review the outcome - the interaction is outcome-oriented rather than prompt-by-prompt.
No Workflow Design Required
You choose an agent that matches your requirement, add the relevant documents and instructions, and run it.
Choose the Task, Not the Prompt
This is particularly useful when you know what you want to achieve, but do not want to design the individual prompts and workflow required to get there.
What Can Legal AI Agents Be Used For?
ManuWorks AI agents can support a range of legal workflows, including:
Contract Review

Legal Research
Use legal research agents for defined research tasks where the workflow requires multiple steps to work towards the requested research outcome.
Legal Due Diligence
Use agents to assist with defined due diligence workflows involving the review and analysis of relevant documents and information.
Legal Drafting
Select an agent designed around a particular drafting task, provide the necessary documents and instructions, and review and refine the resulting output.
Compliance
Use task-specific agents for legal and compliance workflows where information needs to be reviewed against defined requirements.
Case Analysis
Use AI agents to work through defined case-analysis tasks and organise relevant findings for professional review.

AI Agents vs AI Assistants: What Is the Difference?
An AI Assistant generally helps with an individual task - for example, summarising a document, translating text, comparing documents or answering questions.
An AI agent is designed to work towards an outcome that may require multiple steps. Instead of giving the AI a separate prompt at every stage, you select an agent designed for the task. The agent then works through the required workflow using the documents and instructions you provide.
AI Assistant = help with a task. AI Agent = work through the steps towards an outcome.
Do You Need to Build the AI Workflow Yourself?
No. The purpose of ManuWorks' ready-to-run agents is to provide pre-built workflows for specific legal tasks.
You choose an agent that matches your requirement, add the relevant documents and instructions, and run it. This is particularly useful when you know what you want to achieve, but do not want to design the individual prompts and workflow required to get there.
