Ardela Help Centre
Guides for using Matters, Voice, Clara, Reviews, Pillars, and your Workspace.
Ardela is legal AI for firms in England and Wales. A Matter is the shared file for an instruction. Voice captures and transcribes work, Clara helps draft and review it, Reviews checks documents against playbooks, and Pillars turns document packs into cited answers.
Work stays private until you share it with the Matter. AI output remains a working draft. An authorised fee-earner decides what is accepted, exported, or placed on the matter file.
