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 WordRake help me draft, review, or negotiate contracts - or is it only for editing existing text?
WordRake is strictly an editing tool - it refines the clarity and brevity of text you have already written but cannot draft new contracts, review clause-level risk, or support negotiation workflows. GenieAI covers the full contracting lifecycle, from AI-assisted drafting and risk-flagged contract review through to negotiation support, workflow automation, and a searchable clause library.

WordRake integrates directly with Microsoft Word - how does GenieAI compare for teams that live in Word?
WordRake's deep Word plugin is a genuine strength for solo editors who want in-line suggestions without leaving their document. GenieAI imports and exports Word files with strong formatting fidelity and adds real-time collaboration, full legal numbering support, and AI auto-styling - capabilities that WordRake does not offer - making it a better fit for teams that need more than individual text polish.
