Use case · LegalAn AI that knows every signed contract, and every position already taken.
Your team reviews clauses it has already negotiated, looks for the signed version in a sales rep's email, and answers the same payment terms question for the tenth time. We link contracts, amendments, email, CRM and meetings in a company memory, without changing your tools. For every contract received, the lawyer gets the deviations from your standard clauses, the positions already taken on the same points, and the deadlines that contract creates.
Five questions your team asks every week.
The contract says what was signed. Which version is authoritative, what was accepted elsewhere, what was promised outside the contract and what is coming due are spread across email, the CRM, a tracking spreadsheet and a few people. Here is what changes with a memory that links them.
| Today | With the company memory | |
|---|---|---|
| What is the signed version of this contract, and what does it say on this point? | Three versions in email, the signed PDF with the sales rep, the amendment in another folder. | The signed version, its amendments and the relevant clause, linked, with the date of each change. |
| Have we already accepted this clause, and on what terms? | From memory, or by rereading ten contracts. The lawyer who negotiated it has left. | The precedents on the same clause, the concessions obtained, the rejections and the reasons for them, with their source. |
| Which contracts expire or auto-renew in the next 90 days? | A spreadsheet kept by hand, incomplete, that nobody has updated since the last amendment. | The list linked to the signed contracts, notice periods, amendments and the owner of each account. |
| Can a sales rep accept 90-day payment terms, or this liability cap? | They ask legal, who gives the same answer for the tenth time, or they accept without asking. | The rule, the exceptions already granted, the precedents and their source, in the tool the rep already uses. |
| What did we commit to with this customer, beyond the contract? | In email, meeting notes and promises made in meetings that legal never saw. | The commitments linked to the contract, with who made them and when, visible before the renewal or the dispute. |
The legal team's tools.
We replace nothing. The tools your team already uses feed the memory continuously, within each person's access rights: a sales rep only sees what concerns their accounts.

What changes for the legal team.
A review that starts from precedents, not from a full reread.
Every contract received is compared with your standard clauses and the positions already taken. The lawyer sees the deviations, what was accepted elsewhere and on what terms, and spends their time on what is genuinely new.
No missed deadlines, and no spreadsheet to maintain.
Notice periods, auto-renewals, contract expirations, time-bound obligations: they are read from the signed contracts and their amendments, and the memory updates itself. No more tracking spreadsheet to fill out by hand, no more renewal discovered after the fact.
Recurring questions that stop coming back.
Payment terms, liability caps, confidentiality clauses: the rule, its exceptions and the precedents are available to sales and procurement, with their source. Legal only handles what falls outside the playbook.
Your legal processes, as they actually happen.
Before building anything, our interview agents talk to every member of the team and map the real process, not the documented one: the steps, the tools, who decides, and where it gets stuck.
The contract, from request to signature.
Who requests it, which template is the base, who negotiates what, how versions circulate, who approves deviations from the standard, where the signed version is filed, and who is told about the obligations it creates. The process as the team actually runs it.
A question from the business, from Slack to answer.
How a sales rep or a buyer asks their question, to whom, how often the same one comes back, where the answer is written down (or not), and what gets accepted without legal knowing.
The friction points.
The same clause renegotiated ten times, the one-time exception that became the norm without anyone deciding, the signed version nowhere to be found, the auto-renewal discovered after the date, the promise made in a meeting discovered when a dispute arises: that is where the first agents get built.
The agents we build with your team.
No off-the-shelf agents. Each one is designed with your legal team, for a specific need, on top of a memory where all the data is already linked. Four examples among many others.
Contract review
The agent compares the document with your standard clauses and the positions already taken, flags each deviation with the precedents on the same point, the concessions obtained elsewhere and the fallback language already used. The lawyer gets an annotated review, not a contract to reread from scratch.
Who stays in control. The lawyer decides on every point. The agent does not negotiate.
Deadlines and renewals
Notices to send, auto-renewals, contract expirations and time-bound obligations over the next 90 days, read from the signed contracts and their amendments, linked to the owner of each account, with the letter prepared when one is needed.
Who stays in control. The team decides whether to terminate, renew or renegotiate. Nothing is sent by the agent.
Answers for the business
Payment terms, liability caps, confidentiality, intellectual property: the agent answers with the current rule, the exceptions already granted and the precedents, with their source, in the tool the person already uses.
Who stays in control. A question outside the playbook is passed to the lawyer, never guessed at.
Pre-litigation file
The signed version and its amendments, the correspondence with the customer or supplier, the commitments made on both sides, comparable precedents and their outcome, gathered in a time-stamped file the lawyer reviews before replying or briefing outside counsel.
Who stays in control. The lawyer decides. The agent prepares, it does not reply to the other party.
These four agents are only a sample. Once the team's data is linked, an agent can be built for every task that deserves one: NDAs and data processing agreements from your templates, answers to GDPR requests, a record of processing activities kept current, regulatory monitoring applied to your contracts, a file prepared for outside counsel, vendor due diligence at onboarding. Tell us what takes up your team's time, and we will build the agent for it.
The questions each role asks.
Each role puts these questions to the memory through the AI your teams already use, or to your agents. Every answer cites its sources, and each person sees only what their access rights allow.
General Counsel
Sees risks, deadlines and exceptions granted without waiting for the team to pull it all together.
- Which contracts deviate from our standard liability clauses, and for what amounts?
- Which exceptions did we grant this year, to whom, and who approved them?
- Which contracts auto-renew in the next 90 days?
- Which commitments made by sales appear in no contract?
- Which disputes are open, and where does each one stand?
Corporate Counsel
Reviews a contract from precedents and finds the signed version without digging through email.
- What is the signed version of this contract, and which amendments changed it?
- Have we already accepted this clause, and in exchange for what?
- Which fallback language did we use on this point last time?
- What did we commit to with this customer, beyond the contract?
- Prepare the review of this contract against our standard.
Sales and Procurement
Gets the rule and the precedents without waiting for legal, and knows when to involve them.
- Can I accept 90-day payment terms for this customer?
- What liability cap can we accept without approval?
- Which contract template should I use for this type of service?
- Has this supplier already signed our NDA?
- When does this contract end, and what is the notice period?
Start with legal. The same memory then serves the others.
The Company Brain is not a contract management tool: it is the company's memory. The contracts, clauses and commitments linked for legal also serve the sales reps who negotiate, finance checking invoices against signed terms, and leadership ruling on a dispute. Start with one area, measure the result, then decide whether to expand.
Frequently asked questions
The questions legal teams ask before getting started. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
No. It finds what your company has already decided, signed or accepted, and presents it with its source. The judgment stays with the lawyer. A question outside the playbook is passed to them, never guessed at.
Not without your consent. You choose the models, including open-source models hosted in your own infrastructure, and the memory is hosted in our cloud with a French hosting provider by default, or in your own infrastructure if you require it. Every query respects each person's access rights: a sales rep only sees their accounts.
No. Your e-signature or contract management tool remains the system of record. The memory links what it contains to email, the CRM and meetings, where intermediate versions and commitments outside the contract live; it does not replace it.
No, it is the most common situation. The memory starts from the signed contracts wherever they are, and our interview agents reconstruct with the team the positions actually taken and the clauses actually accepted. The clause library becomes an outcome, not a prerequisite.
Most often customer contracts, with contract review and deadlines: two cases where the benefit is measurable from the first month, in review time saved and unwanted auto-renewals avoided. We measure, then we expand.
