Core Features

For Artificial Intelligence, the following are essential features, and you should therefore expect to see a check in every box in this section.

Yes
No

Product Security

Most AI products are built in such a way that they are inherently insecure. If this box is checked, the product or application claims to keep data secure and away from the prying eyes of the public. Although users should not put client information into these platforms, typically sensitive company information is safe.

Client Confidentiality

While some products are secure enough for your own data, others go the extra step of making sure no third party (even themselves) have access to any of the data in your AI product. In these cases, the provider claims that your data is secure enough to maintain your client's Attorney/Client privilege.

Marketing Tasks

Can this product be used for basic marketing tasks like blog creation, social media videos, or website images?

Documentation Assistance

Can this product be used to help document how to do something, whether internal or external facing?

Non-legal Research

Is this product helpful with basic, non-legal research?

Legal Research

Although answers from any large language model tool should be double checked by an appropriate expert, some products claim to be trained on legal specific information. In these cases, it may be reasonable to trust them with legal specific questions or research. Keep in mind, however, that your professional rules likely require you to check their work.

Basic Drafting

Will this product assist in basic drafting of non-legal specific documents (e.g. email, invoices, job descriptions)?

Legal Specific Drafting

Can this product be useful in handling legal specific drafting?

Contract Management

Can this product be used to create and manage contracts?

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I use DraftWise?

DraftWise is an add-in for Microsoft Word.

What is the price of DraftWise?

Contract DraftWise for information on pricing.

Does DraftWise integrate with my Law Practice Management Software?

DraftWise integrates with DMS providers, but not LPMS products.

Where does DraftWise get it's information?

DraftWise is based on your documents. It uses that information to help you compare new contracts to precedent documents and to suggest changes. DMS integrations include iManage, NetDocuments, Opentext, and SharePoint.

Does DraftWise search caselaw?

DraftWise searches your documents. To extent your DMS or document repositories hold cases, PDFs for example, they'd be included. DraftWise does not have its own library of case law.

What secondary sources does DraftWise have?

DraftWise searches your documents. To extent your DMS or document repositories hold articles or other secondary sources, PDFs for example, they'd be included. DraftWise does not have its own library of material.

Is DraftWise reliable?

DraftWise gets high marks for reliability. Early adopters reportedly accept 95% of its suggestions, with over half being used as-is.

Is DraftWise difficult to use?

For end-users, it's pretty simple. DraftWise appears as a side panel offering suggestions, precedent comparisons, and clause rewrites, without forcing users into a new app or tab. On the technical side, implementation involves IT/security setup (especially for cloud or on-prem options) and a few hours of configuration to define clause libraries.

What type of practice uses DraftWise?

Practice areas benefiting from DraftWise include corprorate, commercial contracts, banking or financial services, real estate, and employment law.

Does DraftWise have reminders and alerts?

DraftWise does not currently offer built-in reminders or alert functionality.

Additional Details about DraftWise

DraftWise advertises itself as the only AI tool that assists transactional attorneys throughout the matter lifecycle, from drafting to negotiation.

The process begins with DraftWise analyzing your firm documents, which you can store in a DMS, CRM, or even a database solution. Once completed, you have access to that learned intelligence directly from within Microsoft Word.

Clause Suggestion & Replacement

DraftWise intelligently suggests clause alternatives based on your firm’s historical contracts and preferred language. It helps attorneys maintain consistency and quality while accelerating drafting and reducing review cycles.

Precedent Search

Its AI-powered search allows users to quickly find how a term or clause was used across previous agreements. You can search by keyword, clause type, party name, or context.

In-Word Integration

DraftWise runs directly inside Microsoft Word, so lawyers never have to leave their drafting environment.

Firm-Specific AI Learning

The platform learns from your firm’s own documents, not generic public data, to tailor clause recommendations to your standards. This ensures better alignment with house style, risk posture, and client expectations.

Redlining & Version Comparison

DraftWise enables clause-by-clause comparison of different contract versions or prior deals. This helps attorneys spot subtle changes, track negotiation history, and improve client communication.

Security & Compliance

With SOC?2 Type?II, ISO?27001, and GDPR-compliant architecture, DraftWise meets high standards for legal data security. It runs on Microsoft Azure and offers on-prem options for firms with stricter privacy controls.

Who DraftWise is for

DraftWise is for Microsoft Word-using attorneys who frequently draft or review contracts. It helps to have a substantial “back catalog” of documents to power DraftWise’s suggestions and analysis.
