Clicking a project card opens the project workspace, shown below.

• Project files Left panel

  Lists all documents in the project. Use the Search files box to find a file quickly and click a file to open it; the toolbar above offers the common file actions.

• Welcome actions Center

  Create new file starts a blank document, Open file opens an existing document, and Open web browser opens a built-in browser tab.

• KingAI assistant Right panel

  Chat with the AI assistant to work on your documents. Type your request in the Message KingAI box at the bottom and send it.

Working with project files

Right-click any file or folder in the Project files panel to open its action menu.

The menu is grouped into four parts. Create: New file and New folder. Actions: Rename, Duplicate and Download. AI: Add as context hands the file to KingAI for reference, and Start a new chat for this file opens a fresh conversation devoted to it. Danger: Delete removes the file.

The toolbar at the top of the Project files panel offers the same everyday actions:

From left to right: New file, New folder, Upload files or folders, Refresh the file list, and Collapse / expand all folders.

Files can be added by clicking the upload button, or simply by dragging files and folders straight into the panel. There is no limit on the number of files, but each individual file must be no larger than 100 MB. Uploads are not restricted by file type; opening a file of an unsupported type, however, shows a "cannot be displayed" page.

You can also create files directly in AI WorkDeck. 18 formats are supported:

• Edit & preview 10 formats

  .md .txt .doc .docx .xls .xlsx .ppt .pptx .wps .pdf

• Preview only 8 formats

  .html .htm .png .jpg .jpeg .gif .svg .webp

Editing documents

Once open, a document is edited in the centre of the workspace. Formatting and reviewing work much as they do in a familiar office suite.

1. 1
   Documents open as tabs

   Several documents, web pages and the Task center can sit side by side as tabs, so you can switch between them freely.

2. 2
   Editing ribbon

   The ribbon groups the tools into Home, Insert, Layout, Review, View and Efficiency; font, size, bold, highlight and style controls sit on the row below.

3. 3
   Status bar

   The bar along the bottom shows the page, section, line and column, the word count and the zoom level.

Chatting with KingAI

KingAI is the AI assistant in the right-hand panel. It can draft, edit and replace text, and record its edits as tracked changes. What it sees, how hard it thinks and which conversation it continues are set in three places:

1. 1
   Click /

   Click the / button at the bottom of the message box to open the command menu; you can also search it directly.

2. 2
   Search or pick a command or model

   Under Context: Upload local files hands files from your computer to KingAI, Choose from project picks a file or folder from the project, /compact compacts the conversation history to free up token space, and New conversation clears the history and starts fresh. Under Models, choose which model answers — for example DeepSeek V4 flash or DeepSeek V4 Pro.

KingAI's thinking mode can also be switched directly from the message box:

1. 1
   Click the model selector

   The current mode (for example flash) is shown next to the send button at the bottom-right of the message box — click it to open the menu.

2. 2
   Pick a thinking mode

   Choose between flash, thinking, pro and ultra. The selected mode applies to your next messages and stays visible next to the send button.

1. 1
   Click the history icon

   The history icon at the top of the KingAI panel opens All conversations.

2. 2
   Click a conversation to reopen it

   Past conversations are listed with their dates — click one to pick up where you left off.

Using the built-in web browser

The workspace includes a built-in web browser, so you can research online without leaving AI WorkDeck.

1. 1
   Open the web browser

   Click the browser icon above the tab bar, or use Open web browser on the welcome tab. The home page is a due-diligence directory that groups the sources you reach for most — company records, licences, intellectual property, litigation and so on — and it has its own search box.

2. 2
   Browse in a tab

   Web pages open as tabs alongside your documents. Type a URL in the address bar and use the back, forward and refresh controls to navigate.

3. 3
   Ask KingAI to operate the browser

   The open page is attached as context and shown as a chip next to the message box. Through the built-in Browser control plugin (see Section 5), you can ask KingAI to open and interact with web pages to carry out your instructions.

Plugins extend what KingAI can do — from legal-research connectors to built-in skills and agents. Open the Plugins page from the puzzle icon on the far left of the workspace.

1. 1
   Search plugins

   Type a keyword into the Search plugins box.

2. 2
   Filter by status

   All, Enabled, Needs setup or Available. Plugins enabled here apply to every project in the account; the Plugin marketplace holds the ones you can still install.

3. 3
   Plugin cards

   Each card shows origin and type: Official template · MCP connectors reach external data sources, Built in · Skill covers abilities that ship with the product (such as Browser control), and Built in · Agent handles whole tasks end to end (such as Contract review).

1. 1
   Install and enable

   Click Install and enable to make the plugin available to KingAI.

2. 2
   Plugin description

   The detail page sets out the jurisdiction covered, what the plugin can do and where its limits lie. The example above is CourtListener, a US case-law connector.

3. 3
   Configuration

   Some plugins need credentials such as an access token before they will run, and let you switch individual sub-services on or off so only the ones you need are active.

How AI WorkDeck handles your data during the current demonstration phase, and how this can change for a production rollout.

• Data storage Demo phase

  At the current demonstration stage, project data is stored in the cloud.

• AI processing LLM APIs

  AI features are powered by large language models accessed through their API interfaces. Confidentiality agreements are in place with all service providers.

• Production deployment Customisable

  For a formal deployment, the hosting and deployment model can be customised to your firm's own circumstances and requirements.
