Skills features with the AI assistant

Use the power of CoCounsel, Westlaw, and Practical Law skills directly from within Outlook using CoCounsel AI assistant. The experience and features dynamically change based on your Thomson Reuters product subscriptions.
CoCounsel completes substantive legal tasks with legal-specific applications called “skills.”
Let's use the
Summarize
skill with the AI assistant:
  1. Create a new chat or continue in an existing chat.
  2. Select
    Upload Document
    next to the chat textbox.
  3. Select the source of the document and the document to upload.
  4. Specify the type of summary (Brief, Detailed, Comprehensive), then wait for the skill to perform the summarization.
  5. Select
    View Results
    to access the summary.
You can watch this video to learn how to summarize email threads and documents in CoCounsel for Microsoft Outlook
note
  • You can easily track records and interactions because CoCounsel chat history in Outlook syncs with the chat history accessed via the web interface.
  • This application supports Outlook-specific features such as email drafting and a limited set of chat skills, not the full CoCounsel web experience. As of February 2026, the prompt library and multilingual support are unavailable.
