# Who Marta is

_The platform's assistant: what it does, what it does not, and where to start._

**Responde a:** what is marta · what the platform assistant is for · how do i start using the ai · can marta do things for me

Marta is the platform's assistant. It lets you ask in plain language what you would otherwise have to find by filtering, and it answers from what is in your organisation: your cases, your documents, your dates.

**En corto**

- It answers from your data, not from general internet knowledge.
- It sees only what you can see: it inherits your permissions.
- It takes you to the place; decisions and changes are yours.

## Where to start

The first useful question is nearly always the same: "what is stuck?". It returns something actionable on day one, with nothing configured.

- "Which cases have had no movement for over two weeks?"
- "Whose documents expire this quarter?"
- "Who has not yet signed the May amendment?"

## What it does not do

- It does not know what is not here: what you agreed by phone is not.
- It gives no legal opinions and will not tell you whether a contract is good for you.
- It changes nothing without your confirmation.

> [!NOTE]
> Pin down the timeframe and the subject and the answer improves a lot. "What is missing?" returns something useless; "what does Muñoz Engineering still need to start on site?" returns a list you can work from.

> [!WARNING]
> Before a decision with consequences, check the fact at source. Marta gets you there in seconds: that is its job, not to replace the check.

**Does it see other teams' documents?**

Only if you do.

**Is what I ask stored?**

Queries are logged, like any access to data.

**Does it need switching on?**

It is in the platform. If you prefer not to use it, you need do nothing.

## Ejemplos

**Someone new to the platform does not know what to look at first.**

- Asks which cases have been stuck for over two weeks

→ Comes away with six specific names on day one, without having learned any filters.

**It is expected to decide for you.**

- Uses it to gather, not to decide

→ The decision stays yours.

**Questions assume it knows what is not written down.**

- Checks what information it has in front of it

→ Expectations are set.

**It is expected to act unprompted.**

- Checks what it does on its own and what it does not

→ No unrequested actions are assumed.

**It is asked something that belongs to a person.**

- Reserves judgement calls for people

→ Each does their own job.

**It is used once and dropped.**

- Tries it on the questions that repeat

→ The saving appears where there is repetition.
