Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Skill in Vaquill AI?

A Skill is a curated legal playbook that guides the AI through a structured framework for a specific task. Instead of a generic response, Skills ensure methodical analysis with consistent output, like having a checklist-driven legal analyst.

How many Skills are available?

Eight built-in skills: Contract Review, NDA Triage, Risk Assessment, Privacy Compliance, Statute Analysis, Case Brief, Legal Notice, and Contract Redlining.

Can I trigger Skills manually?

Yes. Type / in the chat to open the skill menu and select any skill. You can also let Agent Mode automatically activate the right skill when your query matches.

Are Skills only for US law?

Skills are optimized for US legal practice with built-in references to US statutes and regulatory frameworks. However, they work with contracts and documents governed by other jurisdictions as well.

Do Skills work with Agent Mode?

Yes. In Agent Mode, Skills are automatically activated when the AI detects a matching query. This means you can ask a question and the right playbook kicks in without manual selection.

What is the difference between Skills and Tools?

Tools are individual capabilities (like contract review or compliance check). Skills are structured playbooks that orchestrate how tools are used - they define the methodology, output format, and analysis framework.

Does Vaquill have an NDA playbook or NDA triage skill?

Yes. NDA Triage is one of the eight built-in skills. It runs a structured evaluation of an incoming NDA against a standard playbook, flags off-market terms (one-sided confidentiality, missing carve-outs, an overlong term), and suggests the fallback position, so you can clear routine NDAs in minutes.

How is a Skill different from a regular AI prompt?

A prompt gives the model a one-off instruction. A Skill is a saved, structured playbook that runs the same framework every time: the same checks, the same output format, the same standards. That consistency is what makes it safe to hand routine legal work to the AI.

How much does Vaquill AI cost?

Vaquill AI is priced per seat with a 7-day free trial, no credit card, and no sales call. All eight skills, plus research, drafting, and contract review, are included in the one seat.
