This guide describes the various AI Agents available in the Agora.
Resolvists Tier - Agora+ Members (paid subscription)
AI agents are software systems that use artificial intelligence to perform tasks, make decisions, interact with users, and provide assistance based on a defined goal, set of capabilities, and access to information or tools. Unlike traditional software that follows fixed rules, AI agents can interpret requests, reason about possible solutions, adapt their responses, and take actions to achieve an objective.
In the Agora, AI agents are designed with different roles, personas, or areas of expertise to create a more personalized and effective user experience. Each agent persona represents a specialized perspective, communication style, or knowledge domain, allowing users to engage with the type of assistance that best matches their needs.
Word of caution
- Use AI as a guide, not a replacement for a lawyer: AI can help explain concepts and prepare questions, but complex or critical legal matters may require professional advice.
- Share information carefully: Avoid posting sensitive personal, financial, or confidential details unless necessary.
- Choose the right AI Agent: Different agents may serve different needs, such as explaining legal terms, summarizing discussions, or helping structure a legal question.
- Validate important information: Legal rules can vary by jurisdiction and change over time, so verify key information before taking action.
AI Agent 1 - Legal Owl
General use to provide useful answers and enhance forum search.
Legal Owl is a general-purpose AI assistant designed to help users navigate a legal community forum by providing clear, accessible, and relevant information. Legal Owl helps users find existing discussions, summarize legal topics, explain terminology, identify related conversations, and guide users toward useful resources within the forum. It acts as a first point of assistance to improve search efficiency and help users better understand their questions before engaging with peers or legal professionals. Legal Owl does not replace legal advice but supports users in organizing information and discovering relevant knowledge.
Example prompts users can ask Legal Owl
- “Can you help me find discussions about tenant rights and security deposits?”
- “Are there similar cases or discussions in this forum that could help me understand my situation?”
AI Agent 2 - Devil’s Avocado
Constructively challenges assumptions by offering alternative perspectives.
Devil’s Avocado is a critical-thinking AI assistant designed to help users examine their legal questions from different angles by constructively challenging assumptions and offering alternative perspectives. Rather than providing a definitive answer, Devil’s Avocado encourages users to consider missing information, possible counterarguments, different interpretations of a situation, and potential weaknesses in their reasoning. It helps users prepare stronger questions, better understand opposing viewpoints, and engage in more balanced discussions within the forum. The agent is intended to support reflection and discussion, not to judge users’ positions or replace professional legal analysis.
Example prompts users can ask Devil’s Avocado
- “What arguments could someone disagreeing with me raise?”
- “What information might I be missing before asking the community for advice?”
- “Challenge my interpretation of this legal situation and suggest alternative explanations.”
AI Agent 3 - Risk Radar
Identifies possible legal, financial, and practical risks in a situation.
Risk Radar is a risk-awareness AI assistant designed to help users identify potential legal, financial, and practical risks related to a situation discussed in the Agora. Risk Radar helps users look beyond the immediate question by highlighting possible consequences, areas of uncertainty, missing information, and factors that may require further attention. It supports users in making more informed decisions by encouraging them to consider potential outcomes, obligations, deadlines, and trade-offs before taking action. The agent provides guidance for risk identification and preparation, but does not replace professional legal or financial advice.
Example prompts users can ask Risk Radar
- “What are the potential risks I should consider in this situation?”
- “Can you identify possible deadlines, obligations, or actions I should be aware of?”
- “What could go wrong if I proceed with this decision?”
AI Agent 4 - Peacekeeper Pat
Helps find common ground by identifying shared interests or suggesting practical compromise options.
Peacekeeper Pat is a conflict-resolution AI assistant designed to help users find common ground in legal discussions by identifying shared interests, clarifying different perspectives, and suggesting practical compromise options. Peacekeeper Pat supports constructive dialogue by helping users move beyond opposing positions and explore solutions that address the concerns of all parties involved. The agent is particularly useful in disputes where communication, negotiation, or mutual understanding may help resolve issues more effectively. It does not make decisions on behalf of users or replace legal negotiation advice but helps create a more collaborative and solution-oriented discussion environment.
Example prompts users can ask Peacekeeper Pat
- “Can you suggest possible compromises or solutions that could work for everyone?”
- “Help me understand the other party’s perspective and find a middle ground.”
- “What options could reduce conflict while still protecting my key interests?”
AI Agent 5 - Privacy Protector
Helps users identify and reduce unnecessary privacy risks by warning them before they share sensitive personal information in community discussions.
Privacy Protector helps users participate in community discussions more safely by identifying when they may be about to share sensitive personal information, such as contact details, identification numbers, financial information, or other personally identifiable data. During conversations, the agent provides timely, non-judgmental reminders to consider removing, masking, or generalizing unnecessary personal details while preserving the context needed for meaningful discussion. Its purpose is to promote privacy-aware participation and reduce the risk of oversharing, without preventing users from asking questions or contributing to the community.
Example prompts users can ask Privacy Protector
- “I’m attaching the letter I received from my landlord. Is it okay to upload it?”
- “Is it safe to share my contract so others can tell me if it’s fair?”
- “What information should I remove before sharing this legal document with the forum?”
AI Agent 6 - Next Step Navigator
Helps users identify the most practical next steps they can take based on their situation, while acknowledging uncertainty and avoiding definitive legal advice.
Next Step Navigator helps users move forward by suggesting practical, actionable next steps based on the situation they describe. Rather than interpreting the law or predicting legal outcomes, it focuses on realistic actions such as gathering relevant documents, identifying useful resources, contacting the appropriate organization, or preparing for conversations with a legal professional. Responses are concise, easy to understand, and tailored to the information provided, with brief clarification questions only when necessary.
Example prompts users can ask Next Step Navigator
- “My landlord won’t return my security deposit. What should I do next?”
- “I received a letter from a debt collector. What’s my next step?”
- “My employer hasn’t paid me for overtime. What actions can I take?”
- “My ex isn’t following our custody agreement. What are my next steps?”
- “A contractor took my deposit and never finished the work. What can I do?”
Conclusion
AI agents are constantly being fine-tuned so they can act as digital community members, guides, and specialists who complement human participants. By combining different agent capabilities and personas, the community can benefit from a richer environment where users receive the right support, from the right type of assistant, at the right time.
