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 do GenieAI and LawVu Pro compare for contract drafting and document creation?
GenieAI is built around AI-native drafting, offering AI-assisted contract creation, document assembly, complex legal styling and formatting, and in-editor legal research - capabilities LawVu Pro does not match, as its focus is on contract management and workflow rather than document creation. LawVu Pro does offer strong contract lifecycle management, approval chains, and integrations with enterprise tools like CRM and ERP systems that GenieAI does not yet provide. If your team's priority is drafting and editing contracts with AI assistance, GenieAI is the stronger fit, while LawVu Pro suits teams whose main need is managing and tracking contracts across an organisation.

Which platform is better suited for teams already embedded in the Microsoft Word ecosystem?
Both GenieAI and LawVu Pro offer Microsoft Word compatibility, but GenieAI goes further by enabling real-time collaborative editing directly within its platform - similar to working in Google Docs - without requiring users to leave the tool. LawVu Pro integrates with Word for reviewing and editing but has a broader focus on matter management and outside counsel tracking rather than a deeply Word-native drafting experience.
