Frequently asked questions
What is GenieAI?
GenieAI is a secure, AI-powered legal platform for drafting, reviewing, and managing contracts. It combines lawyer-trained AI with enterprise-grade security, real-time collaboration, and Microsoft Word compatibility. You can try GenieAI for free - no credit card required.
What should I consider when choosing legal AI software?
Look at security and data handling, how accurate the AI is on real legal work, how well it fits your existing workflow (Word, collaboration), the breadth of features beyond a single task, and total cost. The best way to judge fit is to trial the tools - you can start with GenieAI for free.
How does GenieAI's approach to contract drafting and review differ from Berkeley Bridge?
Berkeley Bridge generates documents through decision trees and templates, which works well for structured document assembly but does not extend to AI-powered drafting, clause-level risk assessment, or contract review. GenieAI brings lawyer-supported AI and machine learning to every stage - drafting, editing, reviewing, and negotiating - so legal teams can work across the full contract lifecycle in one place.

Where does Berkeley Bridge have an edge over GenieAI, and who is each platform best suited for?
Berkeley Bridge leads on third-party integrations, offering an open API and out-of-the-box connections to storage platforms like Google Drive and Dropbox that GenieAI does not yet support. Berkeley Bridge suits organisations that need a mature, highly configurable rules-based automation layer and already have established integration infrastructure, while GenieAI is the stronger fit for legal teams who want AI-native drafting, real-time collaboration, and built-in contract review without stitching together multiple tools.
