# Agent Chat

> Chat with LOIS for Word about the open document in Composer, ask drafting and redlining questions, and kick off full agent reviews from inside the add-in.

Composer is the chat surface inside the LOIS for Word add-in. You can ask questions, draft language, and kick off a full agent review of the open document, all from the composer chat.

## Starting an agent review from Composer

If you describe a review-style task in Composer, LOIS for Word can run an agent review on the open document and return findings inline in the chat.

Examples of prompts that trigger an agent review:

* "Review this contract"
* "Review this from the perspective of the licensee"
* "Run a review focused on data protection and indemnification"

The message you send becomes the prompt for the agent run, so any context or perspective you include is carried through to the review.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Composer">
    Open the LOIS for Word add-in to the **Composer** tab.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe the review">
    Type a review request in plain language. Include the perspective, focus areas, or concerns you want the agent to weigh.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send the message">
    Send the message as you would any chat. LOIS  recognizes the review intent and starts an agent run against the open document.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the findings">
    The agent's findings appear in the chat as they stream in. You can apply suggested edits, ask follow-up questions, or revise the review with another message.

## When to use Composer vs the Playbook tab

* Use the **Playbook** tab when you want a structured pass/fail review against a specific playbook's checks.
* Use **Composer** for ad-hoc questions, drafting, and free-form agent reviews scoped by the prompt you write.

See [Agent Review](/reference/playbooks/agent-review) for more on how agent reviews work, and the [Composer guide](/guides/get-started/composer) for the rest of the Composer surface.
