Ask CheckMate

During a live Session, use CheckMate to query connected AI models from the Notes panel. CheckMate supports document search, which automatically searches your uploaded files for relevant content as part of the query. You can continue conversations beyond the initial query using native threads in the CheckMate Chat tab.

Prevail CheckMate

CheckMate is Prevail’s AI integration for Sessions. Use CheckMate to query connected AI models, search your uploaded documents, and ask general questions during a live Session. For a full overview, see Prevail CheckMate.

CheckMate automatically searches your files when you query a connection. If matching files are found, the response includes relevant passages and file names as clickable links. If you’re using the Prevail Native Solution, upload files to the My Files folder in your Prevail Briefcase. For supported providers, upload your files to the appropriate location. For more information, see CheckMate Document Search.

Set Up Connections

Add connections to supported AI providers using your personal account, or use shared connections configured by your Organization administrator. For setup instructions, see Set Up LLM Connections.
