FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does Paralegent AI compare to manual contract review?
Manual review takes 1–4 hours per contract and applies standards inconsistently. Paralegent AI completes full analysis in 30 minutes with consistent GREEN/ORANGE/RED classification on every clause, across every reviewer.
What makes Paralegent AI different from other legal AI tools?
Two things: rulebook-driven review (AI enforces your standards, not generic ones) and data sovereignty (deployed in your cloud — your data never leaves your environment). Most competitors are SaaS tools that process your contracts on their infrastructure.
Does Paralegent AI replace my legal team?
No — it handles the 80% of routine rulebook matching so your lawyers can focus on judgment calls, negotiations, and strategic work. Think of it as a first-pass reviewer that never misses a clause.
How accurate is Paralegent AI compared to other tools?
90%+ clause classification accuracy. Unlike generic AI chatbots, Paralegent AI uses 18 specialized AI agents — each focused on a specific legal category like Liability, IP Rights, or Termination — applied against your specific rulebook.
Can I use Paralegent AI alongside existing tools like Ironclad or DocuSign?
Yes. Paralegent AI focuses on the review and redlining step. It integrates with Microsoft Word where your lawyers already work, and complements CLM platforms that handle signing, storage, and lifecycle management.
