It’s 6 pm. The review is done, the risks are flagged and the findings are clear. The hard work is done, but you aren’t finished yet.
A summary is needed by the end of the day. Tomorrow’s meeting needs a few slides. And the figures, from amounts and fees to payment dates, need to go into a spreadsheet you can calculate with.
Before, you would jump from your workspace into another tool: copying, pasting and reformatting the outputs of your work in Libra to share it with others.
Now, Libra can handle that for you, creating Word documents, spreadsheets and presentations directly in your workspace.
With Libra, your research and analysis already move faster. Now the formatting does too: Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations, created directly in your Libra workspace.
What’s new
You can now create Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheets and PowerPoint (.pptx) presentations directly from your work in Libra, alongside the Word documents you already know. Ask for the format you need, and your research and analysis arrive as a file ready for your review.
What it looks like in practice
Document review
You’ve reviewed the documents, identified the main issues and now you need to get ready to share your findings. Instead of moving to other tools to create the resources you need, ask Libra to build them directly via Chat, all of them at once: a summary memo, an overview of the key risks and a short presentation for tomorrow’s meeting.
Example prompts:
“Summarize the key findings in a Word memo.
List the main risks and obligations in an Excel table with columns for document, clause, risk level and recommended action.
Create five PowerPoint slides for tomorrow’s meeting.”
Comparing contracts
Comparing terms across several agreements is exactly the kind of work that ends up in a spreadsheet. Now the results can go straight into one.
Example prompt: “Compare the termination periods, change of control clauses and liability caps in these contracts and put the results in an Excel table, one row per contract.”
Explaining a matter in plain language
Not everyone you work with has a legal background. A clear summary helps them understand what matters.
Example prompt: “Summarize the key points of this document in an Executive Summary in Word for someone without legal training.”
Regulatory updates
When new legislation comes into force, the people you advise want to know what it means for them, fast. Now you can turn your analysis into slides, ready for your next meeting.
Example prompt: “Create a short PowerPoint presentation explaining what the new regulation means for mid-sized companies, with one slide per key change and a final slide on next steps.”
Tips for better results
Say who it’s for.
A note for your own files reads differently from an update for someone without legal training. Naming the audience helps you get the right tone and level of detail.Describe the structure you want.
Mention the columns for a table, the sections for a memo or the number of slides for a presentation.Ask for several formats in one request.
If your work needs a summary, a table and a few slides, you can request all three in a single prompt. The files are created one after another, and you can download each one separately.Refine the result.
Once your file is ready, you can keep editing it, for example to shorten a summary, add a column or change the order of your slides. This works for your existing Word, Excel and PowerPoint files too.
From first question to finished file
Libra already sped up research, analysis and review. Now it handles the final steps too, creating the presentation-ready assets you need, compatible with the tools you already work in.
