Here are just a few quick examples of AI-powered apps in the ndMAX Studio that can be applied to your documents today: 

Playbook Generator: Automate and Standardise Contract Negotiations

The Playbook Generator app analyses past contracts and clauses to automatically create customised playbooks based on common clusters of provisions. Lawyers can adjust and refine the content based on specific legal strategies or client needs by setting parameters and adding alternative language. For transactional lawyers, contract reviewers, and in-house legal teams, this can help:

• • Reduce weeks of manual effort to mere minutes
  • Improve contract negotiation efficiency and consistency in terms
  • Mitigate risk by providing clear, actionable guidance

Issues List Generator: Optimise AI-Powered Contract Reviews

The Issues List Generator uses generative AI to review legal documents, extract critical issues, and categorise them based on a contract playbook. This tool is ideal for:

• • Creating checklists for negotiations or organising topics for future analysis
  • Ensuring accuracy and confidentiality
  • Simplifying issue identification 
    

Deposition Prep: Elevate Litigation Readiness

With the Deposition Prep app, litigation lawyers and paralegals can instantly generate an outline to prepare for a deposition using planned exhibits, prior deposition transcripts, and case summaries. It helps teams:

• • Save time reviewing lengthy documents
  • Enhance deposition preparation
  • Ensure no critical details are missed

The NetDocuments App Builder enables you to build custom apps or adjust the ones we’ve pre-built in the ndMAX Studio. Design the AI use case to fit your needs without requiring extensive development resources.
 
With traditional legal tech, legal teams often face a difficult choice: invest in standalone solutions for each specialised need or dedicate IT resources to build custom applications. NetDocuments eliminates this dilemma with an intelligent document management system (DMS) that brings seamless, flexible, secure AI to where your knowledge, documents, and emails already live.
