Turn Agreements Around Faster with an AI Contract Review Assistant

Contracts are where business gets done, but reviewing them can slow everything down.

Negotiation is a critical step toward agreement. It is often the final hurdle between a potential opportunity and a fruitful partnership. This work is important, but it is also time-consuming. As organizations scale, the gap between the increasing number of agreements requiring review and the capacity of reviewers to tackle them often widens. Before long, tedious and error-prone manual review can become a bottleneck, resulting in everything from stunted revenue to strained relationships and more.

Meet your AI-powered agreement assistant

Docusign AI-Assisted Review is an agreement assistant built to support faster, more efficient, and more confident review and negotiation—no matter your workflow or process. 

Easily automate review against your playbooks with AI and get redline suggestions where terms deviate from your requirements. Don’t have a playbook? Iterate with conversational AI to answer questions, analyze terms, suggest edits, or draft new language from scratch—or easily generate a playbook from your standard template to jumpstart your review. 

Powered by Docusign Iris, AI-Assisted Review empowers legal, procurement, and other teams to get agreements done in less time.

Close deals faster

It’s a simple equation: A faster path to signature means a faster path to growth. AI-Assisted Review can help make it possible. It offers a variety of tools purpose-built to accelerate the hard work of negotiation.

• Review, redline, and draft new language with conversational AI: Analyze agreements, flag potentially risky language, suggest surgical edits, and draft new language from an intuitive AI-powered chat.

• Automate contract review against your organization’s playbooks: Compare agreements against your custom playbooks and get redline suggestions to align terms with your requirements.

And because AI-Assisted Review is integrated seamlessly into the IAM platform, reviewers can easily move from collaborating in IAM to reviewing inside Microsoft Word within their end-to-end agreement creation workflows.

Manage contract risk and compliance at scale

Too often, an increase in speed comes at the expense of diligence or consistency. AI-Assisted Review helps to ensure that every agreement is reviewed according to the same standards and positions—even as more of the team gets involved in the process.

• Centralize your standards and positions to enable consistent AI-powered review of agreements across your organization. 

• Generate new contract review playbooks from your templates or other documents to jumpstart your standardized review processes.

• Easily manage playbooks as requirements change to give reviewers across your organization always-on access to your latest legal guidelines.

Reclaim hours for strategic negotiation

Every hour spent reviewing routine agreements is an hour not spent on more complex agreements and strategic negotiations. The imbalance between capacity and demand for review can spell trouble for teams like Legal, Sales, Procurement, and others—especially during the end-of-quarter rush, when every minute counts. 

With AI-Assisted Review, Legal can empower more of the team with the tools and resources they need to review and negotiate effectively without sacrificing compliance with the organization's legal requirements. That means more time for Legal to devote to the agreements where their expertise is especially critical—and fewer bottlenecks for the business. 

AI contract review with confidence

Whether you choose to review with conversational AI or according to your company’s contract review playbooks, you’re in control throughout the entire process—reviewing results and approving edits—with an AI-powered agreement assisted designed to support you along the way. 

Get a leg up with AI where it can really move the needle: minimizing the friction of manual processes and enabling you to focus on the high-value work that drives your business forward.
