Where you spend your time

Why Legal teams switch

We know how your week actually goes

What matters to you

Every inbound contract summarised
New agreements are summarised to key terms within about a minute, so you start each review already knowing what matters.
NDAs drafted in the fast lane
Standard NDA requests get a template-filled draft queued for your review, so counterparty counsel is not waiting days.
Renewal deadlines on the calendar
Every contract expiry and obligation date is tracked so nothing lapses because it was buried in a PDF.
E-signature routing without the chasing
Signature requests go out on schedule, status is checked automatically, and you are alerted when a document is stuck.
Regulatory changes caught before they matter
Agents monitor the policies, terms, and regulations your practice watches and surface only what actually changed.
Focus on the legal work only you can do
Spend your hours on advice and negotiation, not extracting key terms from PDF attachments and updating trackers.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Legal team's day.

The problem

Where the hours go

Every inbound contract sits in the inbox until a lawyer has time to open it, extract the key terms, and decide whether it needs a full review or a quick sign-off.
An agent reads each new contract as it arrives, extracts the parties, key dates, liability cap, and any non-standard terms, and posts a structured summary to Slack so the lawyer starts the review already knowing what matters.
Renewal deadlines and notice periods are buried inside executed PDFs, and they slip past unnoticed until the auto-renewal has already fired or the termination window has closed.
An agent reads each executed contract, logs the renewal date and notice period to the calendar and the tracker, and posts an alert when the window opens, so the team decides to renew or exit rather than discovering the lapse.
Signature chasers eat time every week: checking which documents are still open, finding the right contact, and writing a prompt that does not sound impatient.
An agent checks the e-signature platform on a schedule, spots every document past its expected signing date, and drafts a polite chaser for each one, queued for the lawyer to approve before anything sends.
The weekly legal report is built by hand: pulling matter status from one tool, contract counts from another, and upcoming deadlines from a third, then writing it all up for the general counsel.
An agent pulls the week's data from the contract register and matter tracker, assembles the report, and drafts the narrative, leaving the risk commentary to the lawyer who reviewed the week.

Triggers

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

Your agents watch the apps you already use and act the moment something happens, usually within about a minute, handle it based on your instructions, 24/7.

WhenA contract arrives in the legal inbox or Drivefires within about a minute

The agent automatically

When a new contract lands in the shared inbox or a monitored Drive folder, the agent reads the document, extracts the parties, governing law, key dates, liability caps, and any non-standard terms, and posts a structured summary to the Slack channel within about a minute. The lawyer sees what the contract contains before opening the PDF.

Legal
180 min / week
Reading and summarising inbound contracts
A lawyer opens each new contract from the inbox, reads through the agreement to find the key terms, and manually extracts the parties, dates, liability cap, and non-standard clauses into a tracker before deciding whether it needs a full review or a quick sign-off.
Legal Agent
0 min
Agent reads and extracts key terms on arrival
An agent reads each new contract as it lands, extracts the parties, governing law, key dates, liability cap, and any non-standard terms, and posts a structured summary to Slack so the lawyer starts the review already knowing what the agreement contains.
Legal
120 min / week
Drafting standard NDAs
A lawyer opens the NDA template, fills in the counterparty name and details, decides whether to use the mutual or one-way form, and sends the draft for internal review before it goes to the counterparty. A routine NDA can sit for days waiting for a free slot.
Legal Agent
0 min
Agent fills the template and queues it for review
An agent reads the NDA request, fills the standard template with the counterparty details and the correct mutual or one-way structure, and queues the draft for the lawyer to review and send. Nothing goes to the counterparty until a lawyer approves it.
Legal
60 min / week
Tracking contract renewal and notice dates
Renewal dates and notice periods sit inside executed PDFs that nobody re-opens until an auto-renewal fires or the termination window has already closed, because scanning dozens of contracts for expiry dates is a task that always slips.
Legal Agent
0 min
Agent logs deadlines to the calendar and posts alerts
An agent reads each executed contract, adds the renewal date and notice window to the calendar and tracker, and posts a colour-coded alert when the decision window opens, so the team chooses to renew or exit rather than discovering the lapse.
Legal
60 min / week
Chasing signature status across open deals
Someone logs into the e-signature platform, checks which documents are still open, works out who has not signed, and writes a polite but firm chaser to each pending signer, which takes time and is easy to forget when the queue is long.
Legal Agent
0 min
Agent checks status and drafts chasers for approval
An agent checks the e-signature platform daily, identifies every document past the expected signing window, drafts a polite chaser for each pending signer, and queues every message for the lawyer to review before anything sends.
Legal
120 min / week
Monitoring regulatory and vendor terms changes
A lawyer or compliance officer visits each regulatory page and vendor terms portal on a rotating schedule, tries to remember what the page said last time, and writes up any changes, which means some pages are missed for weeks at a stretch.
Legal Agent
0 min
Agent diffs every monitored page and posts changes
An agent visits each monitored regulatory and vendor terms page on a schedule, compares it against what it saw before, and posts only the real changes to Slack with the section that moved and a note on why it might matter.

Trust & control

You stay in control

An agent working in the legal team's name earns trust only if lawyers stay in control of every consequential action. Actionist is built so the agent prepares and the lawyer decides, with a full audit trail of everything it read and did.

The agent drafts. The lawyer approves.

Every NDA, chaser email, matter record, and outbound communication is queued for your review before anything goes to a counterparty or regulator. You widen autonomy only where the agent has earned it.

Consequential actions always stop for a human

Sending a contract to a counterparty, executing a signature request, or filing a document stops for explicit lawyer approval, regardless of how much autonomy has been granted elsewhere. The floor cannot be lowered.

A full audit trail on every document

Every document the agent read, every clause it extracted, and every action it took is logged so you can see exactly what happened and when on any matter.

Your client and matter data stays yours

Matter data is encrypted, never used to train AI models, and if your firm's data governance requires everything on your own infrastructure, you can self-host Actionist on a VPS.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the legal team need to be technical to use AI agents for contract work?

No. You describe what you want the agent to do in plain language and give it examples of the summaries or drafts you would produce yourself, the same way you would brief a junior paralegal. The agent learns from the examples and the corrections you make, and refines its output until it consistently matches what your team needs. No code, no integrations to build.

How quickly can a legal team get started with Actionist?

You can connect your inbox and Drive, set up the contract intake summary, and have the agent routing and summarising documents on the same day. The first pass may miss nuances in your firm's particular risk areas, but you adjust the extraction logic and the summary format in plain language until it matches how your team works. Most teams have a working intake and renewal-tracking setup within the first session.

Will the agent send anything to a counterparty without my approval?

No. Sending anything to a counterparty, client, or regulator always requires explicit lawyer approval. By default the agent drafts and waits. You can widen autonomy for internal tasks such as updating the tracker or filing documents, but any action that goes outside the firm stays at whatever approval level you set. Consequential and irreversible actions always stop for a human, regardless of how much autonomy has been granted elsewhere.

How does the agent summarise contracts and extract key terms without an API?

Actionist uses computer use on the desktop: the agent opens the contract the same way a paralegal would, reads through the document, and extracts the terms. That means it works with PDF agreements, Word files in SharePoint, and documents in Drive without needing a legal-specific API or a custom integration. The same approach applies to monitoring regulatory pages and comparing vendor terms.

Can I build a custom AI agent for whatever my legal team specifically does?

Yes. The agents shown here are starting templates. You can build a custom AI agent for any legal workflow your team runs: a specialist contract reviewer trained on your firm's standard positions, a litigation-tracking agent for a specific matter type, or a compliance monitor watching the exact regulatory sources your practice cares about. You describe the workflow in plain language and the agent learns from your examples and corrections.

How does the renewal monitoring work for contracts with complex notice periods?

The agent reads the governing clause in each executed contract, extracts the notice period and the auto-renewal provision, and calculates the latest date by which a notice must be served if the team wants to exit or renegotiate. It adds that date to the calendar and posts an alert when the window opens, so the team is working from the actual contractual deadline rather than a rough guess based on the expiry date.

Where does our client and matter data live, and is it used to train AI?

Your data stays yours. It is encrypted, never used to train any AI model, and every action the agent takes is logged so you can audit what it read and did on any matter or document. If your firm's data governance or client confidentiality requirements mean everything must stay on your own infrastructure, you can self-host Actionist on a VPS.

How quickly does the agent pick up a new contract or legal request?

Triggered tasks poll on a short interval, so a new contract arriving in the inbox or a new form submission is typically picked up within about a minute. Scheduled tasks such as the daily renewal check and the policy monitoring pass run on the cadence you set. The weekly legal report runs on Monday morning and is ready before the first meeting.

Where do alerts and reports show up?

Actionist delivers to Telegram and Slack (the two supported channels). Renewal alerts, signature status flags, policy change digests, and the weekly matter report all land in the channel your legal team already monitors. You can reply in-thread to direct the agent, and the reports sit alongside your normal team conversation.
