Workspace
Matters, documents, review, and chat in one workspace.
The workspace holds a matter's documents, Word .docx editing, review, research, and chat in one place, so the work stays in context from source material to answer.
In short
What is the stella workspace?
A web app that holds matters, documents, Word .docx editing, review, research, and chat in one place. Everything added to a matter stays attached to it, so the context is there when you return. A companion desktop app acts as a local bridge when a document needs Microsoft Word.
