Review the AI draft and have a clause revised

Steps

1. 1

   Find the draft under Contract Drafts

   Choose Contracts in the left menu, select the Draft a Contract tab and scroll down to Contract Drafts. The draft is listed with its type, the two parties, the status Needs review, a risk score of 40, medium, version 1, and a tag Placeholders.

   • Select Contracts
   • Select Draft a Contract
2. 2

   Open the draft

   Select Open at the end of the row. The AI Contract Draft Review window opens. Two banners come first. The red one says the draft has unresolved placeholders, the two parties' addresses in square brackets, and that it cannot be approved or finalised until none remains. The yellow one, Needs review, says the agent's own critique flagged issues to resolve. The tiles give the type, the jurisdiction, the governing law and the risk score.

   • Select Open
3. 3

   Read the drafted clauses

   Drafted Clauses lists the eight clauses in order, with the title, the wording and the law each cites. The first, Parties to the Agreement, holds the two placeholders. Read each clause as you would read a draft from a junior colleague, with the brief beside you.

4. 4

   Select Revise this clause

   To change a clause, select Revise this clause under it. Here it is the clause about fees and payment. A box opens for your instruction, with Apply and Cancel beside it.

   • Select Revise this clause

   

5. 5

   Tell the agent what to change

   Type the change in plain words: Make each instalment payable within 30 days of the invoice. Then select Apply. The agent rewrites that clause only. In this example the payment clause then reads: payments shall be made within 30 days of the Consultant's submission of an invoice. It also gave each instalment a milestone date, 31 January, 31 March and 31 May 2027, which the brief did not specify; check that with the business.

   • Type e.g. cap liability at AED 500,000; add a 30-day cure period: Make each instalment payable within 30 days of the invoice.
   • Select Apply
6. 6

   Read the agent's own checks

   Scroll down to Compliance Checks. These are tests the agent ran on its own draft. Most pass. Dispute resolution reads Fail: the contract does not say how disputes are settled, with a recommendation to add an arbitration clause. The checks help the reader. They are not an approval.

7. 7

   Close the window and look at the versions

   Close the window, reload the page and select the Draft a Contract tab. The row now shows version 2, still Needs review and still tagged Placeholders, with a risk score of 45. Each revision makes a new version. The next lesson removes the placeholders.
