Getting started

Connect in minutes

The connector requires a Dialectica Origin account. Access is enterprise / institutional only — not yet on Origin? Contact your Dialectica account team.

1

Add the connector

In Claude: Settings > Connectors. Find Origin by Dialectica in the directory, or add it as a custom connector with mcp.dialecticanet.com/mcp.

2

Sign in with Okta

Your AI platform opens the familiar Origin sign-in. The OAuth handshake does the rest — nothing to copy, nothing to rotate.

3

Ask your first question

Origin resolves companies, synthesises across the corpus, and cites every source. Start with one of the prompts below.

Example prompts

Ask like an analyst

Four prompts that show the range — from one-shot synthesis to launching a full expert-calls project without leaving the thread.

01Synthesis

What's driving Harvey's growth — and where is it most vulnerable?

Origin · ask_origin_ai · Done

Growth concentrates in AmLaw 100 expansion and usage-based seat upsell. The vulnerability formers flag most often is mid-market churn as CLM vendors bundle drafting into existing contracts.

Sources · 3 expert calls · 1 company profile
02Screen & rank

Which AI legal-tech companies look most exposed to consolidation in the next 12 months?

Origin · filter_companies · Done

Spellbook, Robin AI, and Lexion rank highest on exposure signals from formers and competitive positioning.

12 companies screened · ranked by exposure signals
03Launch a project

Test the thesis that AI legal-tech is over-funded. Set up an expert-calls project — 6 former CIOs across three vendors over the next two weeks.

Origin · start_project_brief · Done

Brief captured — 6 calls · former CIOs · 3 vendors · 2-week turnaround. One thing missing: which vendors should we prioritise?

Launches only on your confirmation
04Request a snapshot

Generate a deep-dive thesis brief on Harvey.
