AI contract drafting and review agent for transactional lawyers that works inside Microsoft Word, grounding every clause in a firm's own precedent rather than generic internet data.

Draftwise is an AI contract drafting, review and negotiation platform for transactional lawyers at law firms and in house teams, delivered inside Microsoft Word where drafting happens. It connects to the firm's document systems, including iManage, NetDocuments, SharePoint, OpenText and Google Drive, and structures the firm's precedent and deal history into a legal ontology, a queryable map of positions, parties and documents that returns the same sourced answer every time with a trail back to the memo, clause or document behind it.

The AI Associate takes a plain request, researches the firm's precedent, reads redlines, comments and version history, and drafts, redlines and responds using the firm's own negotiated language, with the lawyer controlling every change and a citation to check on each. Playbook Studio builds playbooks automatically from precedent and guidance so every draft aligns to the firm's positions, collections curate themselves in the background, and Deal Table compares terms across thousands of agreements.

Draftwise is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, holds UK Cyber Essentials Plus, enforces identity on every connection and mirrors the firm's DMS permissions live, and deploys as a private cloud in the firm's chosen provider, into the firm's own cloud, or on premises. Customers include Orrick, Gunderson Dettmer, Mishcon de Reya and Mayne Wetherell; pricing is by demo.

Use cases & customers

In practice

You are drafting a license agreement and need a termination clause that favors your client. DraftWise searches your firm's own past deals, surfaces the strongest precedent language, and drops a tailored draft into Word.

Opposing counsel sends back a marked up contract. Paste their comments into the DraftWise AI Associate and it applies the requested revisions across the document, grounded in how your firm negotiated similar terms before.

A partner wants to know what is market standard for an indemnity across five hundred past deals. DraftWise reads the whole precedent library and answers in seconds with terms organized by client and counterparty.

Agentic Index coverage score

8.5 / 14 capabilities · 61%

Integrations & Tool Calling	Partial
A named catalog of document systems: iManage, NetDocuments and EDGAR on the product page, with SharePoint, OpenText and Google Drive named in the vendor's own contract intelligence article, and the agent works inside Microsoft Word where it edits the open document. The catalog is bounded to document management and authoring, the documented direction into the DMS is retrieval, and no custom tool or action framework is described. SourceDraftwise, draftwise.com/productread 2026-09-06
Workflow Orchestration	Full
The AI Associate takes a plain request, performs deep research across the firm's DMS, interprets redlines, comments and version history, drafts responses from precedent and edits entire documents, while the platform auto builds playbooks and curates document collections in the background from the moment a DMS is connected. Multi step agentic execution is documented; no customer facing workflow builder is. SourceDraftwise, draftwise.com/product and draftwise.comread 2026-09-06
Knowledge Grounding & RAG	Full
Draftwise structures the firm's precedent and deal history into a persistent legal ontology, a queryable map of positions, parties and documents that returns the same sourced answer to the same question over time, and searches millions of firm documents in real time to ground every draft in the firm's own language. SourceDraftwise, draftwise.com/ontology and draftwise.com/productread 2026-09-06
Human Oversight & Guardrails	Full
Playbook Studio is a documented guardrail the vendor ships: playbooks built from the firm's precedent and guidance are applied so every draft aligns to the firm's preferred positions, and the AI Associate applies revisions as redlines the lawyer controls change by change with a citation to check on each. The approval step lands in the Word redline, so the accept mechanics are shared with Word; the playbook guardrail is Draftwise's own. SourceDraftwise, draftwise.com/product and the AI Associate announcement on draftwise.com/blogread 2026-09-06
Security, Identity & Governance	Full
Identity is enforced across every connection in the documented access model, and document access mirrors the firm's DMS permissions live so ethical walls hold. Certification covers SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, with a trust center at security.draftwise.com and UK Cyber Essentials Plus. SourceDraftwise, draftwise.com/ontology and draftwise.com/faqread 2026-09-06
Observability & Auditability	Full
Every answer resolves step by step with a trail back to every source, showing the exact memo, clause or document behind it, and every drafting suggestion carries a citation the lawyer can check; the vendor describes a complete evidence trail on every result, so each output can be traced back. The CloudWatch audit logs named in the FAQ monitor the vendor's own infrastructure. SourceDraftwise, draftwise.com/ontologyread 2026-09-06
Memory & State Persistence	Partial
Lawyers prompt Draftwise conversationally inside Word, which carries session state, but no memory layer with a stated scope and lifetime is documented; the firm's precedent and ontology serve as grounding, and the auto built playbooks are assets rather than memory. SourceDraftwise, draftwise.comread 2026-09-06
Deployment & Data Residency	Full
The FAQ documents three deployment routes: a private cloud dedicated to the firm in the provider of its choosing (AWS, Azure or GCP) with the firm holding the encryption keys and no data leaving the VPC, deployment into the firm's existing cloud as a helm chart, VM images or Linux binaries with optional self service upgrades, and on premises installation. SourceDraftwise, draftwise.com/faqread 2026-09-06
Prebuilt Agents, Templates & Packs	Partial
Playbooks and contract collections are built automatically from the firm's own precedent and guidance, so they are assets assembled for the customer from the customer's content rather than prebuilt by the vendor, and Playbook Studio, Deal Table and Knowledge Console are modules of one platform rather than packaged agents a buyer selects among. SourceDraftwise, draftwise.com/productread 2026-09-06
Triggers & Channel Coverage	Partial
Beyond drafting on a lawyer's request inside Word, Draftwise curates contract collections and playbooks automatically in the background from the moment a DMS is connected, which is work starting without a person. No schedules, webhooks or inbound channels are documented. SourceDraftwise, draftwise.com/productread 2026-09-06
Model Flexibility & Routing	Not documented
Neither a model provider nor any customer or admin model selection is documented on Draftwise's own pages; the FAQ names cloud partners (AWS, Azure, GCP), which is infrastructure, not a model. SourceDraftwise, draftwise.com/faqread 2026-09-06
APIs, SDKs & MCP Extensibility	Partial
The ontology page states that the data backbone connects every product a firm runs via MCP and APIs, so outside tools can call the Draftwise platform. No endpoint, auth or reference documentation is published behind that claim, and the site links to no developer surface. SourceDraftwise, draftwise.com/ontologyread 2026-09-06
Testing, Debugging & Optimization	Not documented
For the agent itself, Draftwise publishes no evaluation harness, test cases, quality gate or optimization loop. Internal search benchmarks appear in a Microsoft customer story, but they reflect the vendor's own release practice. SourceDraftwise, draftwise.com/productread 2026-09-06
Browser & Computer Use	Not documented
Draftwise runs as an add in inside Microsoft Word and edits the open document through that add in, which is the product's own surface rather than an agent operating a browser, desktop or computer. SourceDraftwise, draftwise.com/productread 2026-09-06
