Zalari FAQ | Research Preview, Teams and Drafting

Which jurisdictions and courts can I search?

The research preview focuses on selected Zimbabwean and Southern African case law. Coverage varies by court, year, and source. Check the available collections in the app and verify that a search includes the jurisdiction and period you need.

Can I ask a legal question in plain English?

Yes. Ask a question in ordinary language to explore potentially relevant case law. Treat any answer and its citations as a starting point: open the original judgment and check the passage and legal context yourself.

How do I verify a Zalari answer?

Follow each citation to the underlying judgment and read the passage in context. Confirm the court, date, citation, legal proposition, and whether the authority remains current and applicable. Preview results may be incomplete.

How current is Zalari's case-law database?

Coverage changes as material is prepared for the preview. Check the collections and dates currently available in the app, and use other current sources when completeness matters to your work.

How is Zalari different from ZimLii or ChatGPT?

Public law libraries provide access to source judgments. Zalari's research preview helps you explore case law through questions and inspect cited sources. General AI assistants may not have access to the same source material. Verify every answer against the judgment itself.

What legal work can Zalari help me with?

Start with case-law research and source checking. Team workspaces and private deployments are available. Drafting is experimental, so use only non-confidential examples while evaluating it; do not use generated drafts for client advice, filing, or other production legal work.

What legal documents can Zalari draft?

Experimental drafting can be explored with sample instructions and non-confidential material. It is not ready for production legal documents, client advice, or filing. A qualified practitioner must prepare and check any real legal work independently.

Can I research against my own case files?

Team workspaces and private deployments are available, but file access and data handling depend on the configuration agreed with your team. Confirm the applicable terms before uploading client or other confidential material. Use sample files when evaluating experimental drafting.

Can I save, download, or export my research?

Check the current app for available history, download, and export options. If a particular record or file format is essential, confirm it with the Zalari team before relying on it.

Who is Zalari built for?

The research preview is for legal professionals, students, and researchers exploring Zimbabwean and Southern African case law. Professional users remain responsible for checking sources and meeting their own legal obligations.

Does Zalari provide legal advice?

No. Zalari is an early research preview, not a law firm or a substitute for a qualified practitioner. Answers may be incomplete or mistaken. Drafting is experimental and must not be used for production legal work.

Which access option is right for me?

Insider costs $30 and Vanguard $49 per seat per month. Both include research and experimental drafting. Vanguard adds API access and a private knowledge base. Team workspaces and private deployments are available; discuss the setup with the Zalari team.

Can I use Zalari outside Southern Africa?

The app can be accessed from a supported browser where the service is available. Its research focus is Zimbabwean and Southern African case law; coverage within the preview varies by collection.

How is confidential matter data protected?

Review the current privacy and deployment terms with your team before uploading privileged or sensitive material. Do not assume a particular security control or retention arrangement applies to your workspace until it has been confirmed.

Can Zalari connect to our existing systems?

Team workspaces and private deployments are available. The scope of any connection to your systems or private sources depends on the deployment and should be agreed with the Zalari team before you rely on it.

Do you offer onboarding and team training?

The Zalari team can discuss workspace setup and onboarding. Set a review process for research sources, and evaluate experimental drafting only with sample material until it is ready for production use.

How do I get support or report a problem?

Use the support route in your account or contact the Zalari team. Describe the affected feature and steps to reproduce the issue, using only safe-to-share details unless a suitable channel has been agreed.
