They also run on schedule for matters that repeat. ![Perform work where it happens](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/fzjkft9j/production/c08b7483c95383d754aa773483e82b17fe067686-1076x812.png?w=1200&fit=max&fm=webp&q=95) #### Scale your team's institutional thinking Each Agent is assembled by your team from instructions, knowledge, skills, and memory.

You see only the ones that cross a red line; the rest go back to sales as ready-to-send replies. #### NDA Agent Drafts and triages NDAs against your standard playbook, applying your usual terms automatically. Routine NDAs turn around without your involvement; non-standard counter-positions come to you for sign-off. #### Procurement Agent Triages tool requests from the business, checks for existing licences, and reviews new vendor contracts against your procurement playbook. Auto-handles routine purchases and redirects duplicates; escalates anything that crosses your value threshold. #### Privacy Agent Runs privacy reviews on new vendors, products, and data flows. Draft DPIAs, flag cross-border transfers, and generate jurisdictional addenda. Routine assessments are handled end-to-end; anything outside your privacy playbook comes to you. #### HR Agent Handles incoming HR legal requests across employment paperwork, restrictive covenants, and separations, applying your employment playbook. Returns ready-to-send responses to HR for the routine ones; escalates to you when a matter is sensitive or non-standard. #### Matter Triage Agent Summarises matters across the team, prepares board materials, and prioritises incoming work for the function. Surfaces what needs your attention this week and what can wait, with the context behind each call. BOOK A DEMO ### Ready to transform your legal department?

Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us. What can a legal AI agent actually do? A Wordsmith Agent handles end-to-end legal tasks: reviewing inbound contracts against your playbook, drafting NDAs, answering legal questions from Slack or email, triaging requests by risk level, and escalating only what needs your judgement. Agents run continuously, handling the routine so your lawyers focus on the complex. What does 'agentic' actually mean in legal AI? Agentic means the AI takes multi-step actions autonomously, not just answering a single question. A Wordsmith Agent receives a request, retrieves the relevant context, applies your playbook, drafts a response or redline, and routes it for approval or sends it — all without human intervention at each step. Aren't AI agents just smarter chatbots? No. Chatbots respond to single prompts. Agents plan and execute multi-step workflows, remember context across a matter, use tools (search, document generation, email), and act on behalf of your team within defined guardrails. The difference is autonomy and workflow depth, not just response quality. Is Wordsmith built for law firms or in-house teams? Wordsmith is built exclusively for in-house legal teams. The workflows, playbooks, and agent types are designed around the needs of General Counsel, legal operations leaders, and in-house lawyers — not law firm billing models or matter management for external counsel. How much setup does an Agent need from our team? Most Agents are live within days. You provide instructions (what the Agent should do), connect your knowledge base (policies, playbooks, precedents), and configure the channels it works in (Slack, email, Teams). Wordsmith's team supports the initial configuration and can pre-build standard agent types for your function. What kinds of work can Agents handle for us? Contract review and redlining, NDA triage, vendor agreement assessment, privacy reviews and DPIAs, employment paperwork, legal question answering, matter triage, board material preparation, and scheduled compliance checks. If it is a defined, repeating legal task, an Agent can handle it. What does Wordsmith plug into? Wordsmith connects to Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, SharePoint, Google Drive, and your existing contract management systems. Agents operate wherever your business asks for legal — they do not require the business to change how they work. Do Agents make decisions on their own? Agents act within guardrails your team defines. For routine, low-risk work they can be set to handle end-to-end with no human in the loop. For anything outside those parameters, they escalate with full context and reasoning. Your team always decides how much autonomy each Agent has. How is this different from Harvey or Claude Legal? Harvey and similar tools are primarily co-pilot tools — they assist lawyers on tasks. Wordsmith Agents operate autonomously on defined workflows, handling work end-to-end rather than assisting at the prompt level. Wordsmith is also built exclusively for in-house teams, with playbooks, intake, repositories, and agents that form a complete operating system for the legal function. How long does it take to get an Agent running? Standard agent types (NDA review, contract triage, legal Q&A) can be live within a week. Custom agents built around your specific workflows typically take two to four weeks, including playbook setup, knowledge base connection, and integration testing.
