AI that does the legwork, not just the answering.
Backplain's pre-built agents handle structured research tasks from the same workspace, with the same AI Firewall policy applied to every step.
Search Agent
Real-time web search synthesized into a Backplain answer, with the same AI Firewall controls applied to the query and the synthesis. For recent case decisions, regulatory filings, competitive intelligence, and any question whose answer changed since the last training cutoff.
Patent Agent
Direct connection to the USPTO API. Structured prior-art searches, claim drafting, and freedom-to-operate review from inside the workspace. For biotech and legal teams with active IP development.
Agents respect every Firewall policy you set.
An agent is just a prompt with a longer plan. Every model call an agent makes — to search the web, to summarize a result, to draft a claim — passes through the AI Firewall the same way an interactive prompt does. PII, PHI, custom terms, and classified identifiers are intercepted at every hop, not just the first one.
Agent runs are logged step-by-step in the audit log: the trigger, each tool call, each model call, each Firewall decision. When an auditor asks what the agent did, the answer is one query away.
What's coming next.
Document Review Agent
Multi-pass contract and protocol review with model comparison at each pass. Surfaces variance between models on each clause; flags items for human review.
Regulatory Watch Agent
Scheduled monitoring of designated agencies and dockets. Daily digest of new filings relevant to a configured watchlist; full-text and summary delivered into the workspace.
Custom agents (Pro Services)
For Enterprise customers, the Pro Services team builds custom agents against internal data sources and approved tools. Same audit fabric, same Firewall policy.
Agents are included on every paid tier.
No additional usage charges. No per-action billing. Same flat price as the rest of the platform.
