Get the terms, the risk, and the comparison, without the read-through.

These training guides help you learn the foundations of the Legal AI Assistant and other AI tools in NetDocuments. For more, join a live training session with a member of the NetDocuments Applied AI Team.

Select a contract, ask what you need, and Legal AI Assistant answers from that document with citations to back it up.

How it works

Legal AI Assistant reads the contract you select and answers questions about it directly. Ask it to summarize terms, flag risk, or explain a clause, and it responds with citations back to the exact language.

Select the document in NetDocuments, click Ask AI, then type your question or pull a saved prompt from your Prompt Library.

Summarize the following key business terms of the agreement: parties, territory, exclusivity, term, and payment or revenue obligations.

Identify any provisions in this agreement that create meaningful risk or disadvantage for [your side]. Explain why each one matters and cite the section number.

Compare these two agreements and flag where [Agreement B] is more or less favorable than [Agreement A] on exclusivity, term, liability cap, indemnification, and governing law.

Check this agreement for undefined terms, unused definitions, or inconsistent cross-references.

Explain the termination and renewal provisions in plain language, as if briefing someone who isn't a lawyer.

Select a contract and ask

Pick a contract you're working on today. Select it in NetDocuments, open the Assistant, and ask for the key terms. Copy a prompt from above or write your own.

Check the citations

Click each blue citation number to confirm the answer against the source before you rely on it or send it.

Tips for Better Contract Review:

Name the terms you want, not just "review this." "Summarize parties, territory, exclusivity, term, and payment obligations" gets a better response.
Load both agreements before you ask for a comparison. The Assistant reasons across everything in the session, so add the second contract first, then name exactly what you want compared.
Treat every response as a first pass. Verify dates, obligations, and risk calls against the citations before it leaves your desk.
Ask for something you can say out loud, not just a finding. "Given the deal value, is this liability cap reasonable or unusual? Give me two or three sentences I could use to justify pushing back" turns the contract's own terms into a negotiation-ready talking point.
