Teams
Legal & HR.
Equip your HR and Talent teams with the legal intelligence to hire globally, standardize agreements, and answer employee queries instantly — all while maintaining the highest compliance standards.
The vision
High-velocity, high-compliance.
In a fast-moving business, the People function needs to be an enabler, not just an administrator. Wordsmith bridges the gap between Legal and HR, giving your team the tools to operate with autonomy, precision, and strategic insight across every jurisdiction you operate in.
Core capabilities
Everything your team needs.
Core capability 01
Intelligent employment blueprints.
Generate documents with Legal's full approval. Wordsmith's engine adapts to every hire based on your team's pre-defined guardrails.
Jurisdiction-Aware. Automatically removes California non-competes or adds UK statutory notice periods based on location.
Role-Based Logic. Legal sets the rules once — like adjusting severance or covenants by seniority — and the system handles the rest.
Digitized Workflows. Turn your RIF scripts and PIP templates into smart, structured workflows that ensure every manager stays compliant.

The employee experience engine.
Deliver a consumer-grade experience with an "always-on" People Partner. Wordsmith integrates with Slack, Zendesk, Email, MCP, and Zapier to provide immediate, accurate support.
Instant Resolutions. Employees get immediate answers on PTO, benefits, and 401(k) matching — sourced directly from your Handbooks.
Private & Secure. Supports sensitive inquiries via Direct Message to ensure privacy and psychological safety.
Source Transparency. Every answer links to the specific source — e.g. "2025 US Handbook, pg. 12" — to build employee trust.
Core capability 04

Frequently asked questions.
How does Wordsmith manage different employment laws across multiple countries?
Wordsmith's jurisdiction-aware engine is pre-configured with the employment law requirements of every major market. Legal sets the guardrails once — e.g. remove non-competes for California hires or add UK statutory notice periods — and the system applies them automatically to every document generated.
Can we use Wordsmith to audit our existing employment contracts?
Yes. The Repository & Analytics module lets you bulk-upload executed agreements and extract key data points — Notice Periods, Severance Triggers, Vesting Schedules — across hundreds of contracts at once. Non-compliant deviations are automatically flagged against your standard terms.
Where do employees go to get answers to their policy questions?
Wordsmith integrates directly with Slack, email, Zendesk, and other tools your team already uses. Employees ask questions the same way they always have, and Wordsmith responds instantly with answers sourced from your Handbooks, linking to the exact page for transparency.
Does Legal still have control over the documents HR generates?
Absolutely. Legal defines the rules, templates, and guardrails upfront. HR generates within those bounds. Any document that falls outside pre-approved parameters is escalated to Legal for review before it can be sent.
How quickly does Wordsmith provide contract reviews or document drafts?
Most standard employment documents — offer letters, NDAs, amendments — are generated in under two minutes. Complex multi-party agreements or jurisdiction-specific contracts typically complete within five minutes.
What file formats does Wordsmith support?
Wordsmith accepts PDF, Word (.docx), Excel, and plain text. It outputs clean, track-changed Word documents and can fill out spreadsheet-based questionnaires directly in their original format.
Do we need to change our existing HR workflows to use the platform?
No. Wordsmith works within the tools your team already uses — Slack, email, your HRIS, and document storage. There is no new portal to log into and no training programme required for day-to-day use.
