Frequently asked questions

DraftPilot is an AI platform for everyday legal work. Inside Microsoft Word, legal teams can review and redline contracts, build playbooks, ask document-aware questions, research the law, analyze contract portfolios, and complete routine document tasks while lawyers remain in control of every output.

DraftPilot is purpose-built for how in-house lawyers actually review and negotiate contracts, rather than being a general AI tool with contract review added on.

It works directly in Microsoft Word and produces precise, lawyer-style tracked changes against your organization’s own playbooks, generated easily from existing materials, including preferred positions, fallbacks, and escalation rules.

DraftPilot is particularly strong in real-world negotiation workflows. It can distinguish between different authors’ tracked changes, focus only on counterparty edits in later negotiation rounds, and let lawyers update their playbook mid-review, without leaving Word.

The result is a tool that combines the speed of AI with the control and consistency of a structured legal playbook, while fitting naturally into the workflow lawyers already use.

General-purpose chatbots can summarize a contract, but DraftPilot is built for repeatable legal review:

• It reviews against your organization’s approved playbook.
• It inserts redlines as native Word tracked changes with explanatory comments.
• Its AI is trained and evaluated for contract review.
• Role-based access is built around your teams.
• It provides enterprise controls including SSO, SCIM, workspaces, and permissions.
• Your contracts are never used to train AI models.

DraftPilot installs as a Word add-in through Microsoft AppSource or central IT deployment. Users open it from the Word ribbon, run a review, and apply, edit, or reject suggestions as native tracked changes.

Yes. You can edit DraftPilot’s template playbooks, build custom playbooks from your own templates or past markups, or ask the AI to create a first draft for a specific contract type.

DraftPilot can review any contract type, though it performs best with documents under 50 pages. It is particularly useful for repeatable agreements where teams want to apply consistent positions, fallbacks, and escalation rules.

No. Suggestions appear under your Microsoft Office account username, and your playbooks remain private.

DraftPilot can review and redline contracts, and explain changes, across more than 58 languages. It also works cross-language. For example, it can review a Spanish agreement against an English playbook while producing Spanish redlines. The interface remains in English.

Supported languages include Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Armenian, Bengali, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Burmese, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, Georgian, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Kazakh, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, Malayalam, Marathi, Mongolian, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, and Vietnamese.

AI Chat works with the document open in Word. Ask it to explain a clause, compare positions, summarize obligations, draft language, test an argument, or answer a question about the agreement. When the answer needs to become part of the contract, you can turn it into a tracked edit.

Ask a legal question in the context of the document you are reviewing. DraftPilot searches more than 1,100 curated legal sources across 200+ jurisdictions, returns a cited answer, and helps you translate the result into a practical contract position or redline.

Mass Review lets you ask a wide range of questions across hundreds of contracts and receive the results in a tabular review grid. Double-click any result to inspect the source language behind it, so portfolio-level findings remain traceable to the underlying document.

DraftPilot can compare drafts, create clean copies, translate documents, convert PDFs, check defined terms, and redact content. These tools are designed to remove repetitive document work without moving the file into a separate workflow.

Yes, where legal chooses to delegate. Approved teams can work inside legal-controlled playbooks, positions, fallbacks, escalation rules, workspaces, and permissions. Routine work can move faster while exceptions and final judgment remain with legal.

DraftPilot uses leading OpenAI models within a contract-review workflow designed and evaluated for legal work.

No. Your data is not used by OpenAI to train public models or by DraftPilot to train its models.

DraftPilot can propose redlines, draft missing clauses, create Word comments and negotiation justifications, generate fallbacks, summarize documents, build playbooks, and apply preferred language from those playbooks. Its document-aware AI chat supports broader drafting, review, comparison, and research tasks.

Create unlimited playbooks, start with DraftPilot templates, generate a playbook with AI, or turn your own documents and past markups into reusable positions. Teams can share playbooks while controlling who may view or edit them.

Workspaces organize playbooks for individuals, teams, departments, or functions. Administrators can manage access, permissions, and editing rights for each workspace.
