Lasso — writing with evidence

Retrieval first

Stop sifting. Start finding.

Ask for the number, the clause or the figure. Lasso ranks every indexed document and takes you to the exact cell, passage or object it lives in, not just a file it might be in.

The exact locationCell D12, clause 12.3, IfcSpace Schlafzimmer. Not “somewhere in this PDF”.

The right versionDrafts and superseded files are ranked and labelled, so you don’t cite the wrong one.

No evidence, no answerIf nothing in your project supports it, Lasso says so instead of guessing.

Write with evidence

Autocomplete that shows its work

Suggestions come from your own project, not from a model. Right inside the suggestion box, Lasso previews the source (the floor plan, the sheet, the paper, the clause) so you can confirm it before you press Tab. Click any highlight later to check it again.

Review changes

When a source changes, you hear about it

Every linked value remembers the version it came from. When the file is updated, Lasso shows the old value, the new one, and every sentence that relied on it, then lets you update the wording or keep the historical version.

Changes are tracked through content-addressed snapshots
Review proposed wording before anything is rewritten
Indexing failures show up too, not just edits

Six keys, mostly one

Tab does almost everything

There’s no new interface to learn. Suggestions appear as you type and Tab accepts them. A handful of other keys cover everything else. Click a row to see it played.

In development

Lasso is learning to listen and travel

Someone in a call asks for “that file”, and the Lasso icon in your menu bar offers it, addressed to exactly the person who asked. A whiteboard photo from Tuesday turns up in Thursday’s email, found by what’s written on it.

Scanned PDFs need OCR first. DWG, RVT and DGN need an export to IFC, DXF or LandXML. Lasso does not infer missing quantities.
