Docusign CEO Allan Thygesen shares his vision of how organizations can develop a competitive advantage by managing agreements in an AI-powered platform that acts as a system of action.

Use Docusign Iris, a contract AI engine, to accelerate agreement workflows, ask questions, surface key terms and obligations, and take action using natural language. 

From new customer agreements to vendor renewals, the Docusign IAM platform has improved the way Docusign’s own legal team organizes and analyzes agreements.

The Docusign Agreement Manager API makes it easy to upload millions of agreements into a centralized repository with built-in automation and AI. By consolidating contracts scattered across multiple systems, teams can surface hidden risks and extract key terms. 

At Momentum ‘26, we announced new AI-powered capabilities in the Docusign Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) platform. The new Docusign Iris assistant, AI agents, and Agent Studio help teams accelerate contract review, automate follow-up tasks, and manage agreements more efficiently across sales, HR, procurement, and legal workflows. Docusign IAM is an agreement platform that helps businesses reduce manual work, improve visibility, and move faster from draft to execution.
