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 Gatekeeper for teams that need to draft and edit contracts, not just manage them?
Gatekeeper is built primarily around contract lifecycle management - excelling at dashboards, alerts, approval workflows, and vendor oversight - but it offers limited native drafting or document editing capabilities. GenieAI, by contrast, puts AI-assisted drafting, clause-level editing, auto-styling, and legal research directly inside the document editor, making it a stronger fit for legal and commercial teams who need to create and negotiate contracts as well as track them.

Does Gatekeeper offer better integrations with third-party business tools than GenieAI?
Yes - Gatekeeper currently has a broader integration ecosystem, connecting with CRM, ERP, procurement, and finance platforms as well as cloud storage providers such as Google Drive and Dropbox, which GenieAI does not yet support natively. GenieAI integrates with Microsoft Word and offers API-based data extraction, and additional storage integrations are on the roadmap, so teams that are heavily reliant on a wide range of third-party systems today may find Gatekeeper the more connected option in the short term.
