Product updates

Color cursors for collaborating together 🎨

When you work on a document with your colleagues, you now see where they're writing thanks to colored cursors. No more wondering who's editing which part: everything is visible in real time, just like on Google Docs.

Dropbox connection

You can now connect your Dropbox account to Ordalie to import your documents directly. This joins the Google Drive and OneDrive integrations we already offered, so you can work with your files no matter where they're stored.

Better document upload

No more waiting after sending a document: you now receive immediate confirmation as soon as the file is received. This makes the experience much smoother, especially when you're importing several documents at once.

Improved European law search 🇪🇺

We've refined the way Ordalie finds and understands European regulations and directives. Results are now more accurate and better organized, saving you time when you're looking for a specific reference.

Redesigned discovery journey

We've completely redone the onboarding experience for new users. The goal: help you get to grips with Ordalie more quickly and understand what the platform can do for you from the very first minutes.

Ordalie remembers you 💭

We've added memory to Ordalie: it now remembers your writing preferences, your recurring cases, and your way of working. The more you use it, the more it adapts to your practice. And rest assured, everything remains private and under your control.

Simplified update notifications

When we roll out a new feature, we show it to you in a small window. We've simplified this: now, closing the notification is enough to make it disappear permanently.

Progressive search results display 🔍

Search results now appear as they are found, without waiting for the full loading to complete.

Sources panel redesign

The sources management panel has been redesigned to improve navigation and filtering by source type. We've also added website packs: you can now preload thematic sets of websites (legal, administrative, etc.) with a single click.

Optimized loading after each update

We've fixed a technical issue that could sometimes display an error page right after our updates. Now you automatically get the latest version without having to clear your cache or reload multiple times.

A little Halloween touch 🎃

We allowed ourselves a bit of whimsy: a discreet pumpkin with moving eyes appeared temporarily on the platform. Nothing that gets in the way of your work, just a nod to the season.

**Real-time collaboration on documents** 🤝

You can now work together on the same document simultaneously. Changes appear instantly for all collaborators, just like Google Docs. Perfect for reviewing a contract with your team or working with a client live.

Smarter and more robust web search

When Ordalie searches for information on the internet for you, the system now automatically tries several methods if the first one doesn't work. That means fewer failures and more complete results, even on hard-to-access sites.

Fewer unexpected errors

We've fixed several small bugs that could crash the interface in certain situations: confirmation windows that wouldn't respond, cookie banners that wouldn't hide, WebSocket connections that caused silent errors. All that's behind us now.

Enhanced frequently asked questions

The Pricing and Home pages now display a more comprehensive FAQ section, with answers to the questions we get asked most often. We've also refined the overall appearance of the public site for a more pleasant browsing experience.

Stability and performance

We've updated several technical components (Electron, Vite, Sentry, Go libraries) to improve security and overall stability. You won't necessarily see the difference, but it's what keeps Ordalie running smoothly.

**AI-generated folder descriptions** 🤖

Ordalie can now automatically write a clear description of your folders by analyzing their content. No more struggling to find the right summary: the AI understands the context and suggests a relevant description in just a few seconds.

**Our partners scroll across the homepage** ✨

We now continuously display the logos of the firms and organizations using Ordalie. A small animation that shows we're growing together and brings the homepage to life.

Security and reliability improvement 📊

New: we now use anonymized, aggregate signals with a security focus to detect bugs faster and strengthen reliability. No personally identifiable data.

**AI edits your documents** ✏️

Ordalie can now suggest changes directly in your documents, just like Word's "track changes" mode. You can clearly see what's been added, deleted, or rephrased, and you decide whether to accept or reject each change individually. We've paid special attention to version history: even after several rounds of edits, all suggestions remain accessible and you stay in complete control.

**Explanations to understand AI's choices** 💬

When Ordalie rephrases a passage or suggests a change, it can now add little notes to explain why. "I clarified this term to avoid any ambiguity" or "This wording is more in line with recent case law." It helps you understand the logic behind each suggestion, and learn along the way.

**Much faster large documents** ⚡

We've fixed a slowness issue that slowed down editing when your documents exceeded several pages. The interface now stays smooth even on 50+ page contracts with lots of pending changes.

Simplified technical architecture

We've unified our systems to make Ordalie more stable and faster to evolve. You won't see any visible difference, but it allows us to deploy new features much more quickly without risking breaking anything.

**New legal search** 🔍

We've completely rebuilt Ordalie's search engine. You can now query a much richer document base: legal texts, scholarly analyses, case law, and even mini thematic indexes. The search better understands your questions and finds relevant passages even when the exact words don't match. The result: more accurate answers, faster.

**Step-by-step guided drafting** ✨

When you ask Ordalie to draft a document, the AI now asks you targeted questions to fully understand your needs before getting started. For example, it will ask about the context, the specific objective, or the key points to include. The result: first drafts that are much closer to what you expect, with fewer back-and-forths.

**Attach documents to your requests** 📎

You can now attach existing documents when you ask Ordalie to draft something. The AI uses them as a source of inspiration or reference, and automatically verifies that you have the right to access them. Handy for saying "draft me a contract similar to this one" or "use this template as inspiration."

Clearer subscription reminders

We've redesigned the emails that remind you to renew your subscription. They're now more direct, with a prominent button to update your payment information. Less text, more efficiency.

The AI knows when to stop

Ordalie now detects when it's going in circles or unable to complete a task. Instead of continuing indefinitely, it explains the problem and suggests a solution or alternative. This prevents responses that go off in all directions.

**More robust document analysis** 🔍

We've completely redesigned how Ordalie extracts and understands the content of documents you submit. It handles complex formats, tables, and long documents better. You should see fewer errors when you ask it to summarize or analyze a file.

**Improved overall performance** ⚡

We've optimized the engine that runs Ordalie internally: less resource consumption, faster response times, especially when several of you are using the platform at the same time. You should notice a smoother interface, particularly during peak hours.

**Migration to ordalie.com** 🌐

Ordalie is changing addresses: we're moving from ordalie.ai to ordalie.com. Your old links will continue to work normally, but you'll gradually see the new address appear in your emails and during payments. A small identity change for us, no impact for you.

Ordalie speaks your language

The AI now respects the language you've configured in your browser or that you specify in your requests. If you work in English, Spanish, or another language, Ordalie will adapt its responses and suggestions accordingly.

**Connect to your emails and drives** 📧

You can now connect Ordalie to Outlook, Gmail, Google Drive, and SharePoint. Once connected, these tools become directly accessible within the platform: the AI can check your emails, read attachments, and navigate your shared folders to help you work faster. The first attachments from Outlook emails are automatically displayed when relevant.

Comments that stick

We fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the creation of new comments on documents. Everything is working normally again, you can annotate your texts without any issues.

Improved contact form

When you write to us via the contact form, we now receive an instant alert on our internal tools. This allows us to respond even faster than before.

Enhanced performance and stability

We've done a lot of work under the hood this week: your document list loads faster, long processes (like analyzing large folders) are better managed, and we're closely monitoring response times to detect slowdowns before they affect you. Ordalie should feel smoother in daily use.

**Redesigned access management** 🔐

We've completely rethought how Ordalie manages your access rights to documents and workspaces. The result: when you open a document or navigate between your organizations, everything loads much faster. This is especially noticeable if you collaborate on many projects or belong to multiple teams.

More precise document permissions

You can now see at a glance who has access to each document, and Ordalie better understands complex situations (documents shared across multiple organizations, temporary access, etc.). We've also simplified permission checking to make everything more transparent and consistent.

Better organization status management

Ordalie now distinguishes between active members, pending invitations, and former members of your organizations. This prevents confusion and strengthens security: only actual members have access to shared documents.

**Search in your personal documents** 📂

We've laid the technical groundwork so you'll soon be able to search efficiently across all your documents, even when working with multiple organizations. Search will automatically understand which workspace you're in and only show you what's relevant to you.

**More accurate case law search** 🎯

We've improved how Ordalie finds relevant court decisions. The engine now explores many more candidates before showing you the best results, which significantly increases your chances of finding case law that's truly suited to your situation, even in complex cases.

Modernized infrastructure

We've migrated our entire database to a newer, more powerful version. You won't notice any difference in use, but it allows us to prepare for new features and ensure Ordalie's long-term stability.

Simplified internal organization

We've reorganized our maintenance tools so our team can respond faster when needed. Again, nothing visible to you, but it helps us stay responsive if you encounter any issues.

Document Versions and Translations

You can now manage multiple versions of the same document directly in Ordalie: translations, adaptations for different jurisdictions, or changes over time. The AI automatically detects the language, type, and jurisdiction of each version to help you stay organized. Handy when you're working on international cases or need to adapt a standard contract to different situations.

**Simpler Login on Desktop** 🖥️

We've added 6-digit verification codes as an alternative to magic email links. This is especially useful if you're using the Ordalie desktop app: you receive your code by email, type it in, and you're all set. Faster than switching between browser and app.

Improved Tag Organization

The tags you create to organize your documents are now better structured behind the scenes. In practical terms, this means Ordalie can suggest the right tags at the right time, based on your document's context.
