What is Instill?

Instill turns unstructured documents—leases, contracts, reports, compliance filings—into structured, AI-generated insights. Upload files, and the system reads, extracts, and organizes the information so it can be searched, compared, and queried. No manual data entry required.

Tasks well suited for Instill include:

  • Abstracting lease agreements and amendments

  • Reviewing large document sets for risks and key terms

  • Comparing terms across contracts side by side

  • Answering questions grounded in the original source documents

Every answer includes page-level citations, so results can be verified against the source.

How the workspace is organized?

  • Projects group related Collections in one place—like folders. A Project defines the topic or area of work (e.g. "Retail Leases").

  • Collections sit inside Projects. Each Collection takes a set of documents and turns them into a table of AI-generated insights, explorable through multiple views.

See Quickstart to set up a first Project and Collection in minutes.
