If you're not sure how to put an agreement or declaration into words, the "Draft it for me" button on the creation screen opens a smart-template assistant instead of leaving you with a blank text box.

## What it asks

The assistant asks structured questions rather than a single open prompt: who the parties are, what's being exchanged or promised, relevant dates and amounts, and any conditions or consequences you want captured. The exact questions depend on the record type; an agreement's questions focus on mutual obligations between parties, a declaration's focus on the single statement being made.

## What it produces, and what it doesn't

The assistant produces a draft body in Agreebase's plain-language style, already shaped to fit within the 350-word / 7,000-character limit shared by agreements and declarations. It is a draft, not a finished, checked document. Before continuing, read it in full and confirm every fact, amount, date, name, and jurisdiction it contains; the assistant works from what you told it, and can't know if a number or a name was mistyped, or if you left out a condition that matters to you.

You can edit the generated text freely once it's in the draft editor; there's no requirement to use it as-is, and no penalty for discarding it and writing the body yourself instead.

## What comes next

Once you have body text, whether drafted by the assistant or written by hand, the next step is reviewing it for legal completeness. See [Reviewing legal completeness](/docs/users/legal-completeness-check) for what that check looks for, and [Create and seal a record](/docs/users/create-and-seal) for the rest of the creation flow.
