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 document editing and formatting compare to Exari?
GenieAI offers AI-powered document editing - letting you ask Genie to restyle text or suggest new clause language directly in the editor - along with full legal numbering support and AI auto-styling, capabilities Exari does not provide. Exari focuses on automated contract generation from pre-approved clause libraries and templates, which suits teams that want standardised output but leaves less room for flexible, AI-guided editing. If complex legal formatting and in-editor AI assistance matter to your workflow, GenieAI has a clear advantage here. Try GenieAI free
Does Exari offer better integration options than GenieAI?
Exari currently has a broader set of third-party integrations, including connections to Salesforce, DocuSign, and popular file storage systems such as Google Drive and Dropbox, whereas GenieAI's storage integrations are coming soon. GenieAI does integrate with Microsoft Word and offers API-based data extraction, but teams that rely heavily on an existing Salesforce or DocuSign ecosystem may find Exari's out-of-the-box connectors more immediately useful.
