Turn Agreements Around Faster with Docusign AI-Assisted Review

Manual agreement review can be a lengthy, time-consuming process.

As organizations grow, so do the number of agreements requiring review, but the manual processes they often rely on rarely grow up with them. Ultimately, this can mean an unnecessary burden for team members whose time and attention may be better spent on more complex agreements and more strategic negotiations. 

AI-Assisted Review in Docusign Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) speeds up agreement review and empowers more of your business to review and negotiate without jeopardizing compliance with your legal and other organizational requirements.

Cut down on lengthy legal review processes

With AI-Assisted Review, users can easily accelerate agreement review and negotiation and empower more of the business to get involved, while ensuring agreements are reviewed according to the same standards and requirements. By adopting this feature, your legal team can save time to focus on higher-value, more strategic work. 

Read on to find out how this powerful feature helps improve the speed, efficiency, and compliance of your organization’s agreement processes. 

Speed up time to signature

AI-Assisted Review harnesses generative AI in a Microsoft Word add-in with the following capabilities:

• Automate agreement review with AI. Review agreement against your organization’s pre-approved playbooks with help from AI. Where language doesn’t align with your standards, get markup suggestions to bring terms back into compliance. 

• Generate new clauses and markup suggestions. Describe in plain language the markups or new language you’d like to insert and let AI generate a starting point for you. No more having to start from scratch or find a good reference clause to build on. 

• Answer agreement-related questions. Ask questions about the contents of your agreement and get quick answers thanks to AI, along with links to relevant source text to confirm answers for yourself.

Manage risk and compliance across teams

To keep pace with business, it’s essential that legal teams empower more of the organization to review and negotiate. AI-Assisted Review helps to ensure that every agreement is negotiated according to the same standards and positions, even as the number of team members involved in the process increases. Enjoy the benefits of:

• Centralized playbooks. Easily create review playbooks for all your organization’s agreement types and positions.  Ensure that team members involved in review and negotiation have the information they need to do so effectively.

• Standardized review processes across growing teams. Ensure that legal and non-legal teams across your organization—no matter how large—review agreements according to the same standards and negotiating positions. 

• Simple administration. Create and update your playbooks and manage permissions yourself. Rules can be written in plain language, so maintaining playbooks and creating new ones is simple, making it easy to keep your playbooks up to date as your legal requirements change. 

Free your team to focus on more complex negotiations

When only a handful of team members are empowered to review and negotiate, they can easily become a bottleneck to quick agreement execution. For sales, procurement, and other teams, that can mean trouble—especially at the end of the quarter or during peak periods, when every moment counts. With AI-Assisted Review, legal teams can give teams beyond legal the tools and resources they need to review and negotiate effectively without sacrificing compliance with legal and business requirements. That means more time for legal to devote to higher risk, more complex agreements where their expertise is especially critical—and fewer bottlenecks for your business.

AI-Assisted Review accelerates agreement review and negotiation with generative AI inside Microsoft Word while empowering more of your business to review and negotiate in compliance with your legal team’s standards. The result? Faster deal cycles for sales, greater autonomy for procurement, and more—all without adding unnecessary risk.
