GenieAI vs SeedLegals

These two tools solve different shapes of contract problem. The questions below tell you which one you have.

Questions worth asking before you choose

• Is your day-to-day work drafting and reviewing the commercial contracts that run a trading business, such as supplier terms, NDAs, MSAs and customer agreements? Choose GenieAI. It drafts full business contracts from a plain-language prompt and runs red, amber, green clause-level risk review across more than 500 England and Wales templates, whereas SeedLegals centres on fundraising and governance documents.
• Do you need automated, clause-level risk review that flags exposure across any contract you are sent, not just documents from a fixed template library? Choose GenieAI. Its risk-review engine reviews any contract to a high standard, while SeedLegals has no automated risk-review engine and handles investment documents through its own lawyers on request.
• Is your core task closing a funding round, managing a cap table or running an SEIS, EIS or share option scheme? SeedLegals is built for that. GenieAI is not a fundraising or cap-table tool, so for equity and investment workflows SeedLegals wins that scenario.

Choose GenieAI if

• Review needs to be actionable by the business, not just accurate. GenieAI rates clauses red, amber or green against your own positions, so a commercial lead can see what to challenge without waiting for a lawyer to interpret it.
• You want the whole contract in one place, whether or not you draft today. GenieAI covers review and negotiation and drafting. Many teams start with review alone and add drafting later.
• Your team works in Word. The Word add-in puts review and drafting where the documents already live, with styling and numbering intact.
• A commercial, procurement or operations lead is doing the work, not a lawyer.
• You run project-based work where value concentrates in a few large agreements, as in construction, energy, mining, technology and real estate. A single missed indemnity or variation clause costs more than the whole review process.
• Where contract data sits matters. GenieAI is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, set out on our security page.

Consider SeedLegals if

• SeedLegals is genuinely built for founders running an equity fundraising, where the work is closing SEIS and EIS rounds, managing a cap table and issuing share options rather than handling the ongoing flow of commercial contracts.

Where GenieAI is not the answer

• You are a law firm delivering billable client matters. GenieAI is built for the legal work a business does on its own contracts, including a firm's own commercial paperwork. It is not a matter-management or client-delivery tool.
• If your immediate priority is raising an investment round, managing your cap table or setting up an EIS or SEIS share option scheme, SeedLegals is built for that and GenieAI is not a fundraising or equity tool.

Which alternative fits depends less on the feature list than on who is blocked.

Best for commercial and sales teams

The bottleneck is legal review time on standard sales agreements. GenieAI lets the commercial team draft and send inside guardrails legal sets, so legal sees the exceptions rather than everything.

Best for in-house legal

The bottleneck is routine volume reaching a small team. Teams at this stage typically compare GenieAI, SeedLegals, Ironclad, LinkSquares. The deciding question is usually whether review output can be acted on by the business itself, or whether every flagged clause still routes back to legal.

Best for procurement and supplier contracts

Paper arrives on the counterparty's terms and has to be reviewed and negotiated against your standard positions. The question is whether the tool knows what your positions are, not just what the document says.

You do not need to arrive with anything prepared. We do the work with you.

What we handle

• Bringing your agreements across. You do not need to sort, clean or categorise anything first. We take what you have in whatever state it is in.
• Turning your positions into a playbook. Most teams have never written these down, and that is completely normal. We draw them out in a working session and turn them into something the system enforces.
• Your templates, formatting intact. They come over in Word with complex legal styling, numbering and clause formatting preserved, so nothing needs rebuilding.

What changes in week one

Review output comes back rated against your positions rather than a generic standard, so a commercial colleague can act on it directly instead of forwarding it to legal. Review, negotiation and drafting sit in one place, so the same tool covers the contract for as long as you need it.
