AI-assisted negotiation automatically analyses your contracts and provides targeted recommendations to identify risks, inconsistencies and points to adjust throughout the negotiation. It applies to contracts drafted in the editor as well as imported PDFs and Word documents.
For an overview of how AI-assisted negotiation works, feel free to read this article.
Run the AI analysis
The AI analyses only the content of the contract, and not attached files or additional information in the summary sheet.
The AI analyses the contract:
On the first import of a PDF or Word document
When receiving a new contract version
When manually re-running the analysis
With each new version received, the analysis updates to identify:
New clauses added
Changes made
Persistent or new risks
It is possible to manually re-run the analysis at any time.
By clicking the Re-run icon, the AI re-analyses the document and the Playbook in their current version, then updates the displayed recommendations.
Access the recommendations from the contract
To view the recommendations:
Open the contract
Click on Review
Review mode centralises:
The document editor
Comments
Suggestions
AI-generated recommendations
Recommendations remain accessible at all times during the negotiation.
A summary of the recommendations is also visible directly from the contract homepage, with the number of points to address and their statuses, for a quick overview of the situation.
Understand the structure of a recommendation
Each recommendation includes several distinct sections:
Status
Each recommendation is assigned a status:
Acceptable (green)
To review (yellow)
Not acceptable (red)
The status is determined according to the rules defined in the Playbook.
By clicking on the displayed rule, you can view the corresponding rule in the Playbook.
Why
This section explains:
The identified risk
The deviation from your contract policy
The reason why the clause is flagged
What should I do
This section suggests concrete actions, for example:
Modify the clause
Add a specification
Remove an element
Adjust a cap or duration
Rephrasing
When relevant, the AI suggests a rephrasing directly applicable to the contract content.
You can:
Apply the rephrasing in one click
Edit the suggestion before validating
Ignore the suggestion if it is not suitable
The AI never modifies the contract automatically without your action.
La qualité de la reformulation a récemment été améliorée : les propositions sont more relevant and better aligned with Playbook rules, including on complex clauses.
Generate a message for the counterparty
For clauses flagged as Not acceptable, a Generate a comment for the counterparty button is available.
In one click, the AI drafts a professional 2–4 sentence message, addressed directly to the counterparty, which:
Explains why a change is needed, in diplomatic and professional terms
Does not disclose any internal rule names or review criteria
Is written in the contract language
The generated message can be copied and pasted directly into the contract's comment section.
This feature is available to all organisations with access to AI Review.
Navigate and track progress
Recommendations work as collaborative To-Dos: grouped in a dedicated tab (indicated by a flag), they can be archived once handled to keep a clear view of remaining points.
Open a recommendation to automatically position the editor on the relevant clause
Navigate between recommendations to address them one by one
A progress bar allows you to track the handling progress.
Recommendations are organised in two tabs:
To review: current recommendations
Archived: handled and archived recommendations
Once a recommendation is resolved or the risk accepted, it can be archived to maintain a clear view of progress.
All recommendations remain accessible even if you leave the contract.
When reopened, the history is preserved.
All team members with access to the contract can view and handle the recommendations.
Define the rules with the Playbook
The Playbook allows you to:
Define your negotiation rules
Frame acceptable and unacceptable positions
Generate recommendations aligned with your contract policy
