Once Tilt Base is connected, you work as you normally would: describe the task to your AI and give it the material it needs. When the task matches one of your organisation's skills, the AI retrieves the skill from Tilt Base and follows it. It always gets the version your organisation has published most recently, with your organisation's preferences and files.
You can ask directly, for example "Use Tilt Base to prepare an interview summary from this transcript", or ask which skills are available: "Which Tilt Base skills can I use?" Your AI sees only the skills your organisation has published. If it has not published any yet, the AI will tell you; ask your organisation's administrator.
## Matters
Tilt Base records which matter each piece of work is for: the case, investigation, bill or project. Your AI works this out from your request and the material you give it, and tells you the name it has recorded, so you can correct it if it has chosen wrongly. Related work, even when you describe it differently, is recorded against the same matter. If your organisation uses its own matter or file numbers, mentioning one helps.
Matter names are part of your organisation's usage records. Your organisation's administrators and Tilt Legal can see them; nobody else can.
## What the AI will and will not share
Tilt Legal's skills are Tilt Legal's material, licensed to your organisation for use through Tilt Base. Your AI uses them to do the work you ask for, but it will not show you a skill's instructions, hand over its templates or scripts on their own, or reproduce them in another form. If you ask, it will decline and offer to do the task instead. This is expected behaviour, not a fault.
Skills your organisation writes are your organisation's own. Your administrators can keep a skill's instructions private, and the AI then treats it the same way, under your organisation's licence. Otherwise, your AI can show and discuss it.
## Tools your AI can use
Your AI platform shows these tools once Tilt Base is connected. You do not need to call them yourself.

## Getting the best results
Give the AI the full material for the task, such as the complete transcript or the full case file, rather than a summary. Review what it produces before relying on it. For tasks that produce Word documents or run scripts, use an agentic workspace such as ChatGPT Work, Claude Cowork or Copilot Cowork.
