Yes. Legal records the positions the business will accept once, and Genie reviews incoming partnership, reseller and NDA paperwork against them, so early-stage deals are not held by a review queue. HoSt Group gives 25 commercial seats to its sales and commercial teams on exactly this basis and reports 80% faster reviews. ### How does Genie handle NDAs and partnership agreements? [NDAs](https://www.genieai.co/en-us/template-type/non-disclosure-agreement) are the clearest case for self-service: once your positions sit in the playbook, standard NDAs are issued and reviewed without routing each one to legal. Partnership and reseller terms are reviewed the same way against the positions you accept. Firefish, a market research agency of 50 to 100 people with its own in-house legal function, cut contract review time by more than 50% and now handles the same volume with half the legal availability. ### Who decides which partnership terms we can accept? Legal does, in the playbook: exclusivity, IP, revenue share and termination positions recorded once rather than negotiated from scratch. Business development then works inside those boundaries and escalates only genuine exceptions. ### Does Genie work inside Microsoft Word? Yes. Genie works directly in Microsoft Word, so you review and redline in the document your counterparty actually sent, rather than moving it into another system and breaking your review trail. DocuSign and Adobe Sign integrations are in development. ### Can Genie draft reseller and partnership agreements from our own standards? Yes. Genie drafts from your standards rather than a fixed form, so a [reseller agreement](https://www.genieai.co/en-us/template-type/value-added-reseller-agreement), memorandum of understanding or partnership contract reflects your own positions. You describe the arrangement in plain English and Genie produces a first draft. ### What happens when a counterparty's redline falls outside our playbook? Genie flags the deviation instead of accepting it. The change is identified against the specific position it breaches, so whoever reads it can see what was altered, why it matters, and whether it needs a decision from legal. Escalation is the feature rather than the failure. It is how legal stays in control of the standard while everything inside the standard keeps moving. ### Is our contract data used to train AI models? No. Documents you generate or upload stay in your tenant, are not used to train models, and confidential material is not shared with third-party LLMs. GenieAI is ISO 27001 certified and operates under GDPR. ### How quickly can a business development team start? The practical gate is the playbook rather than the software, and [NDAs](https://www.genieai.co/en-us/template-type/non-disclosure-agreement) are usually the first thing captured because they are the highest volume and the least contentious. Teams draft and review from day one. --- This is the Markdown representation of [https://www.genieai.co/legal-ai-for-teams/business-development](https://www.genieai.co/legal-ai-for-teams/business-development), provided for AI agents and crawlers.
