AI contract review counterparty contracts against your negotiation AI playbooks.
AI contract playbooks identify 🔴, 🟠, 🟡 and 🟢-flag clauses, proposes a markup in track changes directly in Word, and maintain your team’s cadence without switching applications.
Third-party contracts don’t usually arrive in the form you need. Each AI contract review requires the same climb:
Your team spends hours navigating through third-party contracts whilst internal stakeholders wait for legal clearance. By the time you’ve crafted your feedback, an internal summary and cover e-mail to the counterparty, you’ve lost deal momentum.
Our Word add-in analyses counterparty agreements against your negotiation standards and suggests precise redlines – alongside the document you’re already reviewing.
The essentials:
For over six years, Weagree has been developing AI functionalities specifically for contract work. The AI contract playbook plugin for Word is yet another AI solution leveraging 20 years of the contracting platform.
AI contract playbooks are like the Paris-Roubaix cycling classic but without cobblestones. Everything is geared to keep deal momentum:
Configure your contracting policies once in an AI playbook. Define your ideal position, acceptable compromises and dealbreakers for each clause type. The structure is familiar – similar to traditional non-AI playbooks – but formatted for automated AI-contract review.
Each of your AI playbook includes:
Open any counterparty-drafted contract in Word and launch Weagree’s add-in from your sidebar. Select the relevant playbook and click ‘Run playbook’. Your contract analysis completes in seconds. Your Weagree AI Assistant highlights every clause requiring attention, colour-coded by risk:
Each AI-flagged clause shows:
Navigate easily by jumping directly to any AI-identified clause clicking ‘Go to’ clause. The clause highlights in your Word document.
For each non-conforming clause identified during AI-contract review, choose how to respond:
Before applying the AI playbook wording, you can optimise the markup to reduce redlines, edit the AI-optimised text, or mark the clause as ‘not applicable’ as the transaction context may justify.
Whether AI-reviewing a third-party drafted contract or drafting a contract yourself, let AI write any additional clauses you need:
AI drafts your contract clause, and you can of course tailor it to your liking. The Weagree AI Word add-in saves you brainstorming time – AI prevents that you overlooked something.
For each non-conforming clause, select how to proceed:
Before applying, you can edit the proposed text, optimise the markup to reduce redlines, or mark the clause as not applicable if negotiation isn’t required here.
Once you’ve completed your review, generate a summary for internal stakeholders or as cover-email to your counterparty:
AI creates the summary as Word, PDF or as an e-mail.

Beyond AI playbook reviews, the Word add-in provides instant AI assistance:
Authorised users can finetune the playbook-proposed clause text and an ‘Apply’ button will insert it directly in the document, with or without track changes, with or without comment.
AI contract playbooks work best when your entire team operates at the same cadence. AI playbooks can be shared across the legal team or specific user groups, BUs or across departments, ensuring consistent application of your negotiation standards regardless of who’s reviewing.
Configure playbooks for different scenarios:
Weagree’s playbook solution suggests which fallback position to start with based on deal context, rather than always defaulting to your most favourable position.
The AI playbook functionality is fully integrated in Weagree’s broader contract automation and CLM platform. As your requirements develop, the platform extends to:
Start with playbook reviews in Word, then expand your contracting maturity level as you go.
Review of a basic AI playbook created using AI, takes under an hour – define your key clauses and preferred positions. More comprehensive playbooks with multiple fallback levels, comments and explanatory notes might take a day. Most teams start with one high-volume contract type and expand from there.
Yes. Weagree’s AI playbooks support AI contract review in all languages that Microsoft supports (only limited by what your AI model covers. Weagree’s AI playbooks can include localised versions of your standard language.
The add-in works in Word for Windows, Word for Mac, and Word for the web. Settings sync across all platforms. [Note: we are working on registration with Microsoft Apps (coming soon).]
You are in control. Mark incorrect flags as ‘not applicable‘ or ‘ignore‘. The reasoning is always visible – you can see why the AI made each suggestion. And after all, the user can edit the proposed wording and will always decide what to ‘apply‘ in marking up the reviewed contract.
Yes. AI contracting playbooks can be shared across your legal team or specific user groups, BU’s or other organisational units, ensuring everyone maintains the same pace and applies consistent standards.
This is a lawyers-for-lawyers, purpose-built for AI contract review with structured playbooks, fallback positions, risk ratings and track changes integration. General AI tools require extensive prompting and produce inconsistent results because they weren’t designed for contract work.
The best way to understand how AI contract playbooks work is to see them with your own contracts and standards.
