Draft privileged legal research without touching the cloud.
Edge drafts privileged research notes on-device from the lawyer’s own typed case notes and authority summaries, no case-law database, no automated analysis. Encrypted storage + biometric lock meet the confidentiality bar no cloud tool can match, the draft is written, reviewed and revised without once touching an external server.

Describe the task
Attorney work product and privileged research carry a confidentiality bar no cloud tool clears, the moment a draft touches an external server, the privilege argument gets harder. Edge writes, reviews, and revises the notes entirely on the lawyer’s phone, behind encrypted biometric-locked storage, so the whole drafting lifecycle stays sealed.
Tell Edge which matter Space to use, what the research question is, and the points from your own notes, and it drafts a first pass without a single request ever leaving the phone. Edge works only from what you’ve typed, it does not look up or analyse case law itself.
Open the Hartley matter Space and draft research notes on the enforceability question. - Work only from the case notes and authority summaries I’ve typed into this Space - Frame the question presented and a short answer up front - Organise my own analysis of the points I’ve noted into a clean structure - Flag any point where my notes are thin or where I’ve recorded conflicting views This is privileged work product, keep everything on-device.

Give Edge context
Set up one Space per matter and keep your case notes, your own summaries of the authorities, and prior drafts inside it. Edge works only from that Space, so privileged material for one matter can never surface in another, and biometric lock means the work product is sealed even off the lawyer’s desk.
Give Edge your notes on the key authorities up front. It works from what you’ve typed, so a Space with your case summaries produces a far tighter draft than one where Edge has to work from the question alone.

What Edge creates
Edge returns structured research notes, question presented, short answer, and your own analysis organised from the points you’ve typed into the Space, with an honest flag wherever your notes are thin or record conflicting views. Written and revised without touching an external server.
From Edge: Drafted privileged research notes from your case summaries in the Hartley Space, fully on-device.

Follow-up prompts
Structure the argument both ways on the contested issue
Where your notes record conflicting views, ask Edge to lay out your own analysis under each view, still on-device, so you can see both outcomes before deciding how to frame it.
For the choice-of-law issue, lay out my notes on each of the two conflicting views recorded in this Space. Note which facts I’ve flagged as favouring which outcome.
Pull your cited authorities into a list
Edge can gather the cases you’ve named in your notes into a single list, so cite-checking starts from what you’ve already flagged, not from a case-law lookup Edge can’t do.
List every authority I’ve named across my notes in this Space, grouped by issue, with the point I’ve noted each for. Pull only from my notes.

Tips and troubleshooting
Load the Space with your case notes first
Edge works from what you type, not from the open web or a case-law database. A matter Space stocked with your own case summaries produces a draft that reflects the authority you’ve noted, type the key points in before you ask for a draft.
Trust the thin-support flags
When Edge marks a point as weakly supported, that’s a signal about your notes, not a defect. It won’t paper over a gap with an external source it can’t reach, it tells you where to add authority yourself.
