GenieAI vs Clarilis

These two tools solve different shapes of contract problem. The questions below tell you which one you have.

Questions worth asking before you choose

• Do you need to industrialise the production of a large, precedent-heavy document suite where a single template drives many conditional outputs? Clarilis is built for that. Its data-driven document assembly and conditional logic are designed for exactly this kind of high-complexity precedent automation.
• Does your team need one platform that reviews incoming third-party contracts, flags clause-level risk, drafts and negotiates in real time, all with AI at the core? Choose GenieAI. Review, risk assessment, AI editing and real-time collaborative negotiation sit natively in one AI-native platform, whereas Clarilis has limited native review and negotiation capability.
• Do you need to be live and generating value within weeks rather than committing to a multi-month professional-services implementation? Choose GenieAI. Custom plans are set up within roughly three days and pilots run in one to two weeks, against a typical three to six month Clarilis implementation.

Choose GenieAI if

• Review needs to be actionable by the business, not just accurate. GenieAI rates clauses red, amber or green against your own positions, so a commercial lead can see what to challenge without waiting for a lawyer to interpret it.
• You want the whole contract in one place, whether or not you draft today. GenieAI covers review and negotiation and drafting. Many teams start with review alone and add drafting later.
• Your team works in Word. The Word add-in puts review and drafting where the documents already live, with styling and numbering intact.
• A commercial, procurement or operations lead is doing the work, not a lawyer.
• You run project-based work where value concentrates in a few large agreements, as in construction, energy, mining, technology and real estate. A single missed indemnity or variation clause costs more than the whole review process.
• Where contract data sits matters. GenieAI is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, set out on our security page.

Consider Clarilis if

• Clarilis is genuinely built for deep, engineered document-automation programmes that turn complex precedent suites into data-driven templates with heavy conditional logic, the kind of long-form automation project run as a dedicated engagement.

Where GenieAI is not the answer

• You are a law firm delivering billable client matters. GenieAI is built for the legal work a business does on its own contracts, including a firm's own commercial paperwork. It is not a matter-management or client-delivery tool.
• If your sole goal is to engineer a single, highly complex precedent suite into a bespoke, deeply conditional automation template and you have the appetite for a multi-month professional-services build, that shape of project sits closer to Clarilis than to GenieAI.

Which alternative fits depends less on the feature list than on who is blocked.

Best for commercial and sales teams

The bottleneck is legal review time on standard sales agreements. GenieAI lets the commercial team draft and send inside guardrails legal sets, so legal sees the exceptions rather than everything.

Best for in-house legal

The bottleneck is routine volume reaching a small team. Teams at this stage typically compare GenieAI, Clarilis, Avvoka, HotDocs. The deciding question is usually whether review output can be acted on by the business itself, or whether every flagged clause still routes back to legal.

Best for procurement and supplier contracts

Paper arrives on the counterparty's terms and has to be reviewed and negotiated against your standard positions. The question is whether the tool knows what your positions are, not just what the document says.

You do not need to arrive with anything prepared. We do the work with you.

What we handle

• Bringing your agreements across. You do not need to sort, clean or categorise anything first. We take what you have in whatever state it is in.
• Turning your positions into a playbook. Most teams have never written these down, and that is completely normal. We draw them out in a working session and turn them into something the system enforces.
• Your templates, formatting intact. They come over in Word with complex legal styling, numbering and clause formatting preserved, so nothing needs rebuilding.

What changes in week one

Review output comes back rated against your positions rather than a generic standard, so a commercial colleague can act on it directly instead of forwarding it to legal. Review, negotiation and drafting sit in one place, so the same tool covers the contract for as long as you need it.
