🔍 Docsum - AI contract reviewer for legal teams

TL;DR: Docsum is an AI contract review and negotiation platform. With Docsum, legal, procurement, and sales teams can negotiate and manage contracts 3x faster, to reduce the time to close and win more deals. Docsum works by analyzing and redlining contracts using configurable playbooks owned by lawyers. Start reviewing your contracts now.

Problem

• Sales teams often own the contracting process from reviewing NDAs to sending out MSAs. Sales teams are motivated to respond to clients quickly and reduce their time to close but their ability to review and respond to contract redlines is contingent on collaboration with their legal counsel. This process can be expensive, time consuming, and hard to manage.
• For smaller teams, basic contract review and contract negotiation services with external counsel can be incredibly expensive and time consuming.
• For larger organizations, in-house counsels are burdened by high matter volumes that often position them as bottlenecks within sales cycles.

Docsum — an AI legal copilot for sales teams

• Review: Use Docsum to upload a legal contract and get a comprehensive summary and ask to our AI attorney questions.
• Analyze: Get a list of potential red flags and proposed redlines to negotiate with.

• Playbook: Upload your redlined contract to get advice on how to respond with suggested resolutions sourced from your organization’s configured playbook or from our pre-configured playbook trained by our human attorneys.

How is Docsum different?

• Extensible: Currently, we are focused on being the best-in-class legal analysis and contract negotiation tool. We believe we can integrate into your existing contract life cycle processes.
• 🔌 Interoperable: We believe the best solutions are integrated where people work so we plan to build an eco-system of tooling which includes our web application, native Word + Google plugins, where legal and sales teams work.
• 💪🏽 Collaborative: We believe that legal teams are essential for creating and preserving value for organizations. Our hope is to enable organizations to engage their legal counsel in a more strategic and efficient manner. We aren’t trying to replace lawyers with AI.
