By moving routine work out of the queue without giving up control of it. Legal sets its standard positions once as a playbook, and Genie applies them to incoming contracts, so the business gets an answer on anything already inside those standards and legal only sees what genuinely needs a decision. Firefish, a market research agency of 50 to 100 people, now handles the same contract volume with half the legal availability, after cutting review time by more than 50%. ### How do in-house legal teams use AI for contract review? The usual pattern is triage rather than replacement. Genie reads an incoming contract against your playbook, marks where the counterparty has departed from the positions you accept, and drafts the redline. Your lawyer opens a marked-up document rather than a blank one. That applies to the documents in-house teams see most: [NDAs](https://www.genieai.co/en-us/template-type/non-disclosure-agreement), MSAs, order forms, [DPAs](https://www.genieai.co/en-us/template-type/data-processing-agreement) and supplier agreements, with current-law accuracy across more than 150 jurisdictions. ### Can we enforce our own contract positions rather than generic standards? Yes, and that is the intended design. The playbook is yours: your preferred positions, your fallbacks, and the points you will not concede. Genie applies it rather than substituting a generic standard. That is the difference between a generic risk review and a review reflecting how your organization actually contracts. ### How does Genie handle NDAs at volume? [NDAs](https://www.genieai.co/en-us/template-type/non-disclosure-agreement) are the clearest case for self-service. Once your NDA positions sit in the playbook, the business can issue and review standard NDAs without routing each one to legal, and anything falling outside those positions is flagged back to you. HoSt Group gives 25 commercial seats to its sales and commercial teams on exactly this basis and reports 80% faster reviews. ### What stops the business signing something legal has not approved? The playbook does. Genie checks an incoming contract against your positions and flags the specific clause that breaches one, so a deviation surfaces before signature rather than after. 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. ### What should an in-house team look for when choosing a legal AI tool? Three questions separate the options quickly. Does it review against your standards or someone else's? Does it work in the tool your team already drafts in? And what happens to your documents afterwards? Our answers: the playbook is yours and legal owns it, Genie works directly inside Microsoft Word, and your documents stay in your tenant and never train models. Ask any vendor the same three and compare the answers. ### 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.
