New Docusign Assistant Streamlines Agreement Workflows

Docusign (Nasdaq: DOCU) has introduced a new AI-powered contract review assistant, designed to help legal teams review agreements faster and keep business moving throughout the agreement process. Iris, Docusign's agreement AI engine, powers the new experience and is built directly on the Docusign Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) platform.

Contract review is one of the most important steps in the agreement process, but it's also one of the most time-consuming. Teams like legal, sales, and procurement often review contracts manually, comparing terms against company policies and suggesting edits. Many organisations rely on legal playbooks to guide reviews, but building and maintaining those playbooks manually requires significant effort.

Docusign's new contract review assistant streamlines work while keeping legal experts in control. With this new experience, users can:

• Quickly understand what matters in a contract: The assistant analyses agreements and highlights key terms, risks, and deviations based on company standards and past negotiations.
• Get answers without digging through pages: Legal teams can ask questions such as "Does this contract auto-renew?" and receive answers that link to the exact terms in the contract.
• Speed up edits and negotiations: The assistant can suggest redlines, generate edits, and draft new contract language for reviewers to evaluate.
• Ensure contracts follow company standards: Agreements can be automatically compared against company playbooks to flag terms that don't match policy.
• Create playbooks faster: If a company doesn't have a playbook, teams can upload a template or reference document and automatically draft a structured playbook to guide future reviews.

By reducing manual work, legal teams can spend more time on negotiation, risk management, and business strategy.

"Contract review has traditionally been one of the biggest bottlenecks in how agreements move through a business," said Dmitri Krakovsky, Chief Product Officer at Docusign. "With the new contract review assistant, legal teams can quickly understand contracts, identify risks, and generate edits in seconds. Because it's built on the Docusign IAM platform, those actions flow directly into the broader agreement workflow, helping legal stay connected with sales, procurement, HR, and other teams across the company."
