Core Features

For , 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 Spellbook?

Spellbook works inside Microsoft Word and can be used with Word for Windows, Mac, and the web.

What is the price of Spellbook?

Spellbook uses custom pricing based on the number of team members on the license. A 7-day free trial is available.

Does Spellbook integrate with my Law Practice Management Software?

Spellbook is primarily integrated with Microsoft Word rather than a law practice management platform.

Where does Spellbook get its information?

Spellbook uses the contract or document being reviewed, user prompts, reusable playbooks, and large language models tuned for commercial legal work. Some features can also use market benchmarks, source-linked answers, and multi-document context.

Does Spellbook search caselaw?

No. Spellbook is focused on contract review, drafting, redlining, and transactional legal work rather than case law search.

What secondary sources does Spellbook have?

No. Spellbook is focused on contract review, drafting, redlining, and transactional legal work.

Is Spellbook reliable?

Is Spellbook difficult to use?

Spellbook is designed to be easy for lawyers who already draft and review contracts in Microsoft Word. Users may still need training to write good prompts, configure playbooks, and review AI-suggested changes carefully.

What type of practice uses Spellbook?

Does Spellbook have reminders and alerts?

No general reminders or alerts feature exists in Spellbook.

Additional Details about Spellbook

Microsoft Word contract review

Spellbook works directly inside Microsoft Word, where many lawyers already draft and redline agreements. It can review contract language, flag aggressive terms, identify missing clauses, and suggest revisions. This can help small-firm transactional lawyers stay in their normal drafting workflow instead of moving contracts into a separate platform. Attorneys should still accept, reject, or revise suggestions based on the deal, client goals, and applicable law.

Drafting and clause generation

Spellbook can help generate clauses, sections, and contract language from a user’s instructions. It is useful when a lawyer needs a first draft, fallback language, or a cleaner version of a clause already in the document. The tool can also help revise language to match a preferred position or negotiation strategy. Lawyers should review generated language for enforceability, jurisdiction, business context, and consistency with the rest of the agreement.

Playbooks and market benchmarks

Spellbook includes playbooks that let teams save and reuse instructions for how contracts should be reviewed. This can help small firms apply consistent standards across recurring agreement types, such as NDAs, MSAs, service agreements, or vendor contracts. Spellbook also offers market benchmarking features that compare contract terms against comparable agreements and suggest revisions when language differs from market norms. These tools can support consistency, but they should not replace attorney judgment or client-specific negotiation strategy.

Spellbook Associate

Spellbook Associate is an AI agent for multi-document transactional work. It can help analyze, revise, and coordinate work across groups of documents, such as data room materials, financing documents, disclosure schedules, or employment packages. This may be helpful for small firms handling transaction documents that involve more than one agreement or template. Firms should test the workflow carefully and confirm that the AI is using the right documents, instructions, and deal assumptions.

Who Spellbook is for

Best fit

  • Transactional lawyers who draft and review contracts in Microsoft Word.
  • Small firms and in-house legal teams that want AI help with contracts but do not need a full contract lifecycle management platform.
  • Firms that want reusable contract review playbooks, clause suggestions, redlines, and market comparisons.

Not ideal for

  • Firms looking mainly for case law research or secondary-source research.
  • Firms that need published, simple pricing before evaluation.
  • Practices that do little contract drafting, review, or negotiation.
