Using Buddy

Keep the source close to the answer.

A useful answer should help you find the original, not ask you to take its word for it.

A document detail has a document behind it

When the workspace suggests a name, amount, or date, review it with the original page. The suggestion is a reading aid. You decide what to keep, and you can return to its source later.

Checking a detail confirms what you want recorded. It does not establish that a document is complete, that an amount is legally owed, or that a filing is ready.

An explanation needs its own limits

Buddy's answer library provides general information and related sources. An optional local AI model can help phrase a response. Neither replaces advice about your circumstances.

A source link is a way to check the context. It is not a claim that an official source reviewed or endorsed Buddy's answer.

For court information, open the court's site

The public court finder helps you reach court websites and the official U.S. Courts locator. Its directory is a starting point.

Check the official site for current local information. The map does not decide where you must file or calculate any deadline.

Leave yourself a question, not a guess

If something does not match, keep a note and leave the detail unconfirmed until you can check it. You can revisit any topic in the workspace.

The aim is a clearer record of what you know and what still needs attention. It is not an automated legal decision.
