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 differ from Diligen for teams that need to both draft and review contracts?
Diligen is built primarily around contract review and due diligence analysis, with limited support for drafting, document assembly, or in-platform editing - making it a strong review tool but an incomplete solution for teams who also need to create and negotiate contracts. GenieAI covers the full lifecycle, combining AI-assisted drafting, clause-level editing, negotiation support, and real-time collaboration in one platform. Try GenieAI free
Which platform is a better fit if my team works heavily in Microsoft Word?
GenieAI supports native Microsoft Word import and export with strong formatting fidelity, full legal numbering support, and AI auto-styling - so documents move cleanly between your existing workflow and the platform. Diligen can export to Word but does not offer a native Word integration, which may create extra formatting and version-management friction for teams whose work lives in Word.
