With Agiloft's generative AI capabilities, you can leverage large language models to streamline contract negotiation, review, and redlining.

Using Generative AI

Use Generative AI to improve clauses in a contract document, as well as redline changes to keep track of what the AI did to improve the clause. To access these features, open the Word app and use the Align Clauses and Revise with AI buttons.

Align Clauses

Use Align Clauses to improve tagged clauses from a contract draft by bringing them in line with approved, vetted clauses from your Clause Library. For example, this can take a non-standard Force Majeure clause and adjust it to match the Force Majeure clause in your Clause Library.

1. Open the contract in Microsoft Word.
2. Open the Agiloft Contract Assistant and log in.
3. Create the Contract record. For information on how to do so, visit the Getting Started section of Using the Agiloft Contract Assistant for Word.
4. Click Generate Tags.
5. Check your clauses and see if any need to be modified. When you find one, click it in the right pane of the Word app.
6. Click Check playbook.
7. Look through the Clause Library to find a clause that aligns with the clause you selected in step 5. You can see how the tagged clause compares with the Clause Library clause using the redlines toggle at the top of the pane. Options include differences, similarities, or merged inline.
8. Click Align Clauses, and Generative AI drafts a new clause that aligns the contract clause with the Clause Library clause.
9. If the drafts looks good, click Replace contract clause. Otherwise, click Regenerate to create a different draft of the new clause. You can also edit the draft directly.
10. Once you click Replace contract clause, the contract clause text is replaced with the text that Generative AI suggested, and redlining appears in the document to show where the changes took place.

Revise with AI

Revise with AI is used to give AI direct suggestions about how to revise a clause. This is especially useful if you don't have a Clause Library, or if your library doesn't have a comparable clause.

1. Open the contract in Microsoft Word.
2. Open the Agiloft Contract Assistant and log in.
3. Create the Contract record. For information on how to do so, visit the Getting Started section of Using the Agiloft Contract Assistant for Word.
4. Click Generate Tags.
5. Check your clauses and see if any need to be modified. When you find one, click it in the right pane of the Word app.
6. Click Check playbook.
7. On the top of the pane, click Revise with AI.
8. Add instructions for AI regarding what to add to the clause. For example, if you wanted to change a Limited Liability clause into a Mutual Limited Liability clause, you could enter "Make Mutual" as a prompt.
   
9. Click Generate.
10. Generative AI drafts a suggested revision based on your request. If it looks good, click Replace. Otherwise, try rephrasing your instructions before reclicking Generate, or edit the clause manually and insert your modified version into the contract.
11. Once you click Replace clause, the clause text is replaced with the text that Generative AI suggested, and redlining appears in the document to show where the changes took place.
