Documents and knowledge
Knowledge needs a source.
Documents and knowledge is the layer of Castilho Torres IA that works on your files and indexed knowledge bases: contracts, PDFs, Brazilian legislation and reference material. You search, compare, summarize and locate the legal basis with the origin of every passage in view, and the professional makes the final check.
By configuration Grounding quality depends on the text actually indexed and on retrieving the source.

The expensive problem
Contracts, amendments, invoices, minutes and emails tell different versions of the same story. Finding the conflict means rereading everything, and the team’s accumulated knowledge stays locked in folders nobody opens.
- Rereading long documents in full for every new question.
- Conflicts between versions discovered too late.
- Team knowledge scattered and hard to reuse.
How it works
- Documents Upload files, PDFs and reference material you are authorized to process.
- Knowledge bases Legislation and team knowledge are retrieved from the indexed library.
- Task-led analysis The agent works to the task and context: search, compare, summarize, locate the legal basis.
- Verifiable origin Every finding shows where it came from, for a quick check.
- The professional decides Verification, review and the final decision stay with the responsible professional.

Illustrative example
A realistic workflow
An illustrative example, with fictional data, of how the work moves through the platform.
- An in-house legal team is asked to renew a services agreement that already has two amendments.
- The agreement and amendments are uploaded, and the document review assistant compares the payment term, price and termination clauses.
- The analysis shows that the first amendment changed the payment term without revoking the original clause, citing the page of each document.
- The lawyer checks the passages, records the question and sends it to the procurement team.
- The renewal goes ahead with the corrected clause, and the decision history is attached to the matter.

What depends on configuration
- Grounding quality depends on the text actually indexed and on retrieving the source.
- Low-quality documents or scans saved as images may reduce reading accuracy.
- Upload only documents you are authorized to process, in line with professional secrecy and the LGPD.
- Available knowledge bases depend on account configuration.
Objections and common questions
See all questionsWhich file types can I use?
Files, PDFs and reference material, according to the tools enabled for your account.
Does the AI read the whole document for every question?
Not necessarily. Selective retrieval looks for the passages relevant to the task instead of sending the entire library to the model. That is why every finding shows its origin.
How are my documents handled?
Data handling follows the platform’s terms of use and privacy policy, which are in final legal review. Before uploading sensitive documents, talk to the team about your firm’s or company’s requirements.
Can we build a base with our firm’s knowledge?
Knowledge bases are part of the platform architecture and are configured according to the library and permissions defined during rollout.
