Building Repeatable Workflows with Atlas Lists

What Are Atlas Lists?

Atlas Lists are reusable sequences of agent actions that practice teams author once and execute on every new matter. Instead of re-prompting agents on each deal or case, a team builds a List describing the workflow, then runs it repeatedly across new Workspaces and documents. Each time, agents execute the same steps, extract the same outputs, and generate new documents that feed back into the Workspace.

A Regulatory & Compliance team's Monitoring & Alert list might extract jurisdiction-specific obligations from incoming documents, compare them to the firm's tracked positions, flag conflicts or regulatory changes, and generate summary alerts. An M&A team's Deal Review list might classify documents by type, run privilege and conflict checks, extract key R&Ws and indemnification clauses, compare them to firm precedent, and draft a summary memo. Every time the list runs on a new matter, agents execute the exact same workflow.

How Lists Ground in Your Knowledge Graph

Atlas Singularity, our v6 platform, ingests data from iManage, SharePoint, OneDrive, NetDocuments, and email into a continuously curated knowledge graph. Atlas agents read, classify, link, and refine that graph as new content lands. When a List runs, each agent action reads against that curated graph, not against generic training data. So when an agent extracts clauses, it's comparing to your firm's actual precedent. When it flags regulatory conflicts, it's reading your firm's tracked positions. When it generates outputs, it cites your firm's own work.

This means the first time you run a List, it's already smarter than a generic prompt. And every time you run it, the knowledge graph gets richer, so the next run is smarter still.

What We Shipped This Week

We released the prompt library modal redesign, so teams can author and share Lists more intuitively. Card-based layout, visibility controls, segmented filters, and live refetch on save. We also shipped live-poll support for shared Lists, so multiple team members can author and execute a List together in real time, seeing agent execution unfold across hundreds of documents without manual refresh.

This week we also fixed folder-aware document staging and agent-generated folders in Workspaces, so each List run can organize its output documents cleanly and keep the Workspace readable even as agents process hundreds of files in parallel.

Real-World Examples

Regulatory & Compliance: A Monitoring & Alert list ingests new regulatory documents, extracts jurisdiction and obligation type, compares against the firm's tracked positions (read from the knowledge graph), flags changes or conflicts, and generates an alert memo for the partner. The same list runs on every new regulatory review; outputs feed back into the knowledge graph.

M&A: A Deal Review list stages purchase agreement, reps and warranties schedules, and closing documents. Agents classify each doc, run privilege and conflict checks, extract key R&Ws and indemnification language, compare to firm deal precedent (from the graph), and draft redline summaries. Partners then use the inline tabular review editor in the Workspace to refine findings or add notes.

Litigation: A Privilege Review list stages incoming document productions, extracts sender, recipient, date, and subject, classifies by privilege type, flags potential conflicts of interest (against the graph), and generates a privilege log. The same list runs on each new production batch.

Building Your First List

In Atlas Workspaces, you stage the documents for a matter. Then you author a List: define the inputs (the documents), the sequence of agent actions (extract, compare, flag, draft), and the outputs (new documents back to the Workspace). Save the list in your practice area; it shows up in the Lists tab.

Next time a new matter lands, create a new Workspace, stage the documents, and run the existing List. Agents execute the workflow in parallel across all documents, and write results back. No re-prompting. No reinvention.

What This Unlocks

Lists turn agentic work from a one-off art into a repeatable, auditable craft. Compliance teams can run continuous monitoring workflows on every new matter. Transactional teams can build rock-solid deal review processes that improve with every execution. Litigation can standardize privilege review and document assembly. And because every List action grounds in your curated knowledge graph, each run gets smarter, faster, and more grounded in your firm's actual practice.
