AI Can Make Mistakes
Our AI is powerful but NOT perfect. Responses may contain errors, inaccuracies, or "hallucinations" (fabricated information).
Important considerations:
- AI limitations: Like all AI systems, Grok can produce incorrect or outdated information.
- Hallucinations: AI may sometimes generate content that sounds plausible but is factually incorrect.
- Jurisdictional differences: Laws vary significantly by state, country, and locality.
- Changing laws: Legal information can become outdated as laws and regulations change.
Always verify: Treat AI responses as a starting point for research, not as definitive legal guidance. Always verify information with authoritative legal sources and consult a licensed attorney.
You can upload contracts and documents for AI analysis, but please be aware of the following:
