FAQs
Is the legal AI assistant secure?
Yes. The NetDocuments Legal AI Assistant is built to keep your content inside your NetDocuments tenant, with encryption in transit and at rest and access governed by the same workspace, folder, and document permissions your firm already enforces. Your repository content is never used to train public models, prompt and response processing is transient, and retention follows your firm’s NetDocuments governance settings. Administrators can also apply AI-specific Data Loss Prevention controls to block, restrict, or audit how sensitive content is sent to or returned by AI features.
Can the legal AI assistant draft legal documents?
Yes. The Legal AI Assistant can generate summaries, chronologies, translations, and content suggestions, and its Agentic AI Editing Tool can make tracked edits and rewrites directly in Microsoft Word based on your plain-language instructions. For full template-based document generation, firms typically pair the AI Assistant with AI App Builder and Ready-to-Go Legal AI Apps
Does NetDocuments’ AI Assistant work with Microsoft 365 and Teams?
Yes. The Legal AI Assistant is accessible across the Microsoft 365 tools your team uses every day, and the Agentic AI Editing Tool runs directly inside Microsoft Word so you can give plain-language editing instructions and watch tracked changes appear in real time. It also works in tandem with NetDocuments’ Teams and Outlook integrations.
How long does it take to implement NetDocuments’ Legal AI Assistant?
Rollout is fast. Because the Legal AI Assistant runs on the documents and security model already in NetDocuments, customers can turn it on quickly and put it in users’ hands without a long deployment cycle.
What types of legal documents can the AI Assistant analyze?
The Legal AI Assistant can analyze documents you select inside NetDocuments, including contracts, leases, pleadings, deposition transcripts, corporate records, and other matter content.
