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 compare to Luminance for end-to-end contract work, from drafting to signing?
Luminance is built around review and analysis, so while it excels at surfacing risks and extracting data from existing documents, it offers limited support for drafting, document assembly, AI-powered editing, or structured negotiation workflows. GenieAI covers the full contract lifecycle - from AI-assisted drafting and auto-styling through clause-by-clause negotiation and real-time collaboration - making it a stronger fit for teams that need to create and negotiate contracts, not just review them.

Which platform is better suited for teams that live inside Microsoft Word?
Both platforms offer Microsoft Word compatibility, but their approaches differ - Luminance uses the integration primarily to surface analysis and risk flags on existing documents, whereas GenieAI lets users import, edit, collaborate on, and export Word documents with full numbering and AI auto-styling support built in. If your team's day-to-day work involves actively drafting and redlining contracts in a Word-like environment, GenieAI's editor is purpose-built for that workflow in a way that Luminance's review-first design is not.
