Conduct a natural language search using everyday, conversational language. VitalLaw® AI analyzes your search and presents you with a summary.
NOTE: While VitalLaw® AI can work with a search that includes connectors and wildcards, results may be inconsistent.
Editorially Curated Answer
For key topics, our Editors have composed a robust set of Questions and Answers. VitalLaw® AI uses semantic language understanding to analyze your query and check for matches to existing Editorially Curated Answers. In this way, the Answer is built using both Wolters Kluwer’s primary and secondary content as well as our 'editors in the loop'.
Clickable Source citations provide the references from which the answer was drawn. Click to open each citation in its own browser tab.
NOTE: For Editorially Curated Answers, source citations are collected from the full VitalLaw® library - regardless of subscription. As a result, while providing the best answer, the links may direct you to content outside of your subscription.
Thumbs Up/Down icons allow you to react to the answer. Your responses are analyzed by both the system and our editors to improve our results and answers.
Related Questions allow you to refine the focus and uncover facets that might easily have been missed otherwise. These questions have their own citations giving you the chance to open and review a variety of related primary and secondary content without the need to go back and modify the search.
AI Generated Answer
Depending on the search expression, VitalLaw® may present you with an AI Generated Answer along with linkable sources pulled from your subscription.
Turning On/Off Editorially Curated and AI Generated Answers
You may turn on or off Editorially Curated and AI Generated Answers – at any time during your research session - via the checkbox found under the search field.
