Docket-check prompts for Notion AI: review deadlines with MatterOS

What can a docket-check prompt do?

Because every action in MatterOS has an owner, a due date, a matter and a consequence-if-missed field, an AI assistant has clean fields to read. Useful, low-risk questions include which actions are overdue, which have no owner, and which matters have no dated action at all.

Sample prompts to adapt

These are examples written for this page, not a fixed list shipped in the template. The included prompt pack covers matter summaries, client updates and next-step checklists; extend it in the same style.

How to use them safely

1. 1

   Run the prompt on the Actions database

   Point Notion AI at the database, not at pasted text.

2. 2

   Compare with a filtered view

   Open the Due this fortnight view and confirm the count matches.

3. 3

   Fix gaps in the database

   Assign owners and dates in Notion, not in the AI response.

4. 4

   Never rely on AI for limitation or court dates

   Use the rules of your court or a docketing service for calculation.

• AI and structure first

What this is not

It is not an agent that monitors a court's e-filing system, emails you or calculates deadlines from rules. The template does not send reminders on its own; Notion's own reminders and automations can, if configured.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a MatterOS docket agent?

No. There are prompts you run in Notion AI against your own Actions database.

Can it calculate court deadlines?

No. Calculate them from the applicable rules and enter the date.

Do I need Notion AI?

To run the prompts inside Notion, yes. The same prompts can be adapted for another assistant if you paste in the data.

Is it safe to give client data to AI?

Review Notion's AI data terms and your professional rules first.
