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.
Can DraftCheck draft or substantively review contracts, or is it limited to proofreading?
DraftCheck is built exclusively to check existing documents for technical errors and formatting issues - it cannot draft new contracts, assemble documents, or provide clause-level risk assessments. GenieAI covers the full contract lifecycle, from AI-assisted drafting and substantive review through to negotiation support and workflow management, making it a more complete solution for teams who need more than a proofreader.
How do GenieAI and DraftCheck compare for teams already working in Microsoft Word?
Both tools offer Microsoft Word compatibility, but DraftCheck has the edge as a native Word add-in, while GenieAI imports and exports .docx files with reasonable formatting fidelity. If your workflow demands staying entirely inside Word, DraftCheck may feel more seamless - but if you need real-time collaboration, AI editing, legal research, and contract management all in one place, GenieAI offers far broader capability beyond the Word environment.
