Legal workflow management requires more than a chatbot

Introducing Wordsmith Computer, the infrastructure behind the legal workflows that power the business.

Most of what an in-house lawyer does day to day is a chain of steps and not a single question. Reformat a counterparty contract, redline it against the playbook, send it back. Pull every clause referencing data residency from the last fifty MSAs and turn it into a table for the GC. Translate a regulatory update into a board-ready brief by Friday.

These are workflows. They are also where AI has, until now, fallen short. It can describe what should happen at each step. It cannot run the steps

Today every Wordsmith conversation gets its own computer running behind it. We call it Wordsmith Computer. When you instruct Wordsmith to do something, it does it. The platform writes code, opens documents, runs workflows, scans live sources, builds files. The output is the work itself, returned to you, ready to use.

Four things that get significantly easier as a result.


Complex multistep workflows

Research a topic, redline and agreement, triage risks, delegate to slack, check our past policies, look for examples of prior wording… These can all be connected into a single workflow and strung together one after another effortlessly.

Complex maths

Term-sheet modelling, cap-table scenarios, damages calculations. The answers come from code, not assertion. Change an assumption and Wordsmith re-runs.

Horizon-scanning briefs

Ask Wordsmith what has changed in a regulatory area in the last thirty days. It scans live sources, deduplicates the noise, returns a structured cited brief.

Rich formatting

Drop in a memo or a board update. Wordsmith returns a polished PowerPoint, Excel, PDF or word doc with structure, speaker notes, and your team's styling.

Each of these used to require copy pasting, going into separate tools and a back and forth. Now they run inside the conversation you are already having.

Wordsmith Computer runs inside your existing Wordsmith environment, in your existing region. It is scoped to one conversation and torn down when the chat ends. The same security model you already trust applies to everything inside it.

This is the foundation for what comes next. Workflows that run across people, systems and time. Decisions logged and visible to the people running the function.

That work arrives soon. For now, every conversation in Wordsmith just got a computer.
