Entry priceContact for pricingFull pricing detail

Legal Grade AI platform whose autonomous negotiation agent reviews, redlines, and negotiates routine contracts end to end against your playbook in a true agent to agent exchange.

Luminance is a contract AI platform from Luminance Technologies Ltd of Cambridge and London, used by more than a thousand enterprises in over seventy countries including AMD, LG Chem, Koch and BBC Studios. Its six modules cover drafting, negotiation, analysis, compliance, investigation and collaboration, and are run by specialist agents that work across the contract lifecycle.

Autonomous Negotiation, formerly Autopilot, reads an incoming contract, redlines it against the company's playbook and gold standard positions, sends the revised draft to the counterparty, tracks the responses and reacts to changes from the other side's AI, running the negotiation end to end with a person able to step in at any point; from 2026 anyone in the business can be designated to run it.

Ask Lumi answers questions about any contract or the whole portfolio with cited, source linked responses inside Microsoft Word and the platform, step by step checklists focus review on the business's core positions, non legal teams self serve agreements from pre approved templates, a drag and drop editor routes contracts for review and approval, and agents notify the right people as each deal progresses. A January 2026 architecture gives the platform institutional memory that retains negotiation history and the legal reasoning behind decisions across the enterprise, and surfaces that context behind every decision the agents make.

Under the hood a Panel of Judges routes work across foundational, proprietary and fine tuned models including Luminance's own Luna Crescent. Each customer runs in a dedicated single tenant AWS instance placed for its geography or in its own environment, with customer configured role and division permissions, multi factor authentication, audited access, ISO 27001:2022 certification and a SOC 2 Type 2 report. Pricing is by demo.

Use cases & customers

In practice

Your team signs fifty nondisclosure agreements a month, each eating hours of associate time. Luminance Autonomous Negotiation reviews, redlines, and negotiates each one against your playbook and closes it without a lawyer touching the document.

An M&A team faces a due diligence room of thousands of contracts on a tight deadline. Luminance ingests them all and surfaces risk patterns across the entire dataset in hours rather than weeks.

A stakeholder asks why a clause was accepted in a past deal. Instead of hitting enterprise amnesia, Luminance surfaces the negotiation history and legal logic behind the decision, with source linked references.

Integrations & Tool Calling	Partial
The product works inside Microsoft Word, executes agreements through a DocuSign integration per the vendor's own product sheet, and sends revised drafts to counterparties; it also connects to the customer's document management system. No connector catalog beyond those named and no custom tool framework is documented. SourceLuminance, luminance.com/negotiate and luminance.com/files/brochures product sheetread 2026-09-06
Workflow Orchestration	Full
A multi agent architecture in which specialist agents operate across every stage of the contract lifecycle, Autonomous Negotiation runs the whole negotiation from reading and redlining through sending drafts and reacting to the counterparty, and Workflow Orchestration agents move contracts through the process; a drag and drop workflow editor routes contracts for review and approval. SourceLuminance, luminance.com press releases 27 January and 11 March 2026 and luminance.com/negotiateread 2026-09-06
Knowledge Grounding & RAG	Full
Answers are grounded in source material with visible citations. Ask Lumi delivers cited answers from first review through portfolio insight, and Contract Intelligence queries across complete contracts, contract families, amendments and obligations held in the repository, with playbooks and prior positions grounding negotiation. That is a maintained retrieval structure over the customer's contracts. SourceLuminance, luminance.com press release 27 January 2026 and luminance.com/negotiateread 2026-09-06
Human Oversight & Guardrails	Full
Autonomous Negotiation works within playbooks and gold standard positions the customer defines. It is autonomous by default and human in the loop by choice, with a person able to step in at any point, and step by step checklists in Word focus review on the business's core positions. The workflow editor routes contracts for review and approval, so the playbook boundary is the vendor's own and the review steps can be configured. SourceLuminance, luminance.com/negotiate and luminance.com press release 11 March 2026read 2026-09-06
Security, Identity & Governance	Full
Attestations and controls are both on the vendor's security page: ISO 27001:2022 certification and a completed SOC 2 Type 2 examination with regular third party penetration tests, plus controls the customer configures in the application (role and division level permissions on least privilege, password and session timeout policy, and multi factor authentication). Luminance staff cannot view documents without authorization granted in the interface. SourceLuminance, luminance.com/securityread 2026-09-06
Observability & Auditability	Full
Every autonomous decision surfaces the full context, history and legal logic that drove it, so the user sees the why and not just the what. Every answer carries visible citations to source material, and the security page states all access to customer data is tracked and audited. SourceLuminance, luminance.com press release 11 March 2026 and luminance.com/securityread 2026-09-06
Memory & State Persistence	Full
Each agent has short term memory of prior reasoning steps and long term memory embedded in the platform, per the January 2026 architecture, retaining negotiation history and legal decision making logic across the enterprise contract portfolio in perpetuity and drawing on it in real time. The March 2026 upgrade surfaces that memory behind every decision. The scope is the enterprise's contracts and the lifetime is stated, but no user facing surface to edit or delete memories is documented. SourceLuminance, luminance.com press releases 27 January and 11 March 2026read 2026-09-06
Deployment & Data Residency	Full
Two delivery forms are offered: hosted in a virtual cloud environment, or deployed within the customer's own environment. The hosted form is a dedicated single tenant AWS instance per customer, tailored to geographic requirements and backed up nightly within the same region. Named regions are not listed. SourceLuminance, luminance.com/securityread 2026-09-06
Prebuilt Agents, Templates & Packs	Partial
The platform ships as six named modules (Draft, Negotiate, Analyze, Comply, Investigate and Collaborate), with named agents such as Negotiation AI and Ask Lumi. That is a product line of one platform rather than a catalog of complete agents a buyer selects among. The contract templates non legal teams self serve from are the customer's own pre approved templates, not prebuilt assets. SourceLuminance, luminance.com/negotiate and luminance.com press release 27 January 2026read 2026-09-06
Triggers & Channel Coverage	Full
Workflow Orchestration agents read the state of each contract and trigger the right actions as deals progress, notifying the right people at the right time, and Autonomous Negotiation reacts in real time to the counterparty's responses without a person starting each turn.

SourceLuminance, luminance.com press release 27 January 2026 and luminance.com/negotiateread 2026-09-06
Model Flexibility & Routing	Partial
The January 2026 release documents a Panel of Judges architecture using diverse foundational, proprietary and fine tuned models, including Luminance's own Luna Crescent, with the platform routing among them. That is routing the vendor discloses, but no customer or admin model selection is documented. SourceLuminance, luminance.com press release 27 January 2026 and luminance.com/ai-technologyread 2026-09-06
APIs, SDKs & MCP Extensibility	Not documented
No API, SDK or MCP server is documented on the vendor's own pages, and no developer subdomain exists that could be found. A third party integration forum refers to a customer API with poor documentation, which cannot establish one either way. The Collaborate page and the master hosted agreement at luminance.com/files are the likeliest places for an API to be named. Sourceluminance.com/securityread 2026-09-06
Testing, Debugging & Optimization	Not documented
Model outputs are cross checked internally by a Panel of Judges, the vendor's own accuracy mechanism rather than a harness customers use. No test cases, evaluation dashboard or release gate for the playbooks and workflows a customer configures is documented. SourceLuminance, luminance.com press release 27 January 2026read 2026-09-06
Browser & Computer Use	Not documented
Work happens in Luminance's own platform and inside Microsoft Word, and drafts go to counterparties through its own negotiation channel; no browser, desktop or computer control is documented. SourceLuminance, luminance.com/negotiateread 2026-09-06
