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 PerfectIt draft or review contracts the way GenieAI does?
PerfectIt is a proofreading and consistency tool - it checks existing documents for style and formatting errors but does not draft contracts, assess clause-level risk, or perform substantive legal review. GenieAI covers the full contracting lifecycle, from AI-assisted drafting and document assembly through to clause-by-clause risk analysis and negotiation support. Try GenieAI free
If my team lives in Microsoft Word, is PerfectIt a better fit than GenieAI?
PerfectIt has a genuine edge here - it runs as a native Word add-in with deep formatting and style-consistency checks that are hard to match. GenieAI imports and exports Word documents and integrates with Microsoft Word for direct editing, but if rule-based consistency checking inside Word is your primary need rather than end-to-end contract intelligence, PerfectIt may suit that narrower workflow better.
