The AI reads the clauses, not the cover page. The third contract looks clean today, and auto-renews on unreviewed terms before anyone opens page 47.

What it delivers

60%
Faster contract cycle time

Templates, clause bank and parallel approvals compress draft-to-execute from weeks to days.

40%
Lower legal review costs

AI clause analysis and summaries handle routine review, freeing counsel for strategic work.

100%
Compliance visibility

Every contract tagged and tracked against POPIA, GDPR, SOX and IFRS. Audit-ready at all times.

0
Missed renewals

Automated 90/60/30-day alerts and AI renewal recommendations end the auto-renew surprise.

Risk hides in the fine print. Renewals fire on autopilot. Contracts live everywhere but your tenant.

Buried & scattered

Critical agreements sit in inboxes, shared drives and filing cabinets. No single source of truth means nobody knows what has been signed.

Silent auto-renewals

Missed termination windows and auto-renewal traps quietly drain budgets. By the time someone notices, the contract has renewed for another year.

Hidden obligations

SLAs, milestones and penalty clauses buried in dense legal text. Teams breach obligations they never knew existed.

DWx ContractIQ replaces the sprawl with one platform that runs inside Microsoft 365, and adds agentic AI that flags risk before you've read the page. The engines advise; your people decide.

Five agentic AI engines. Proactive, dynamic, real-time.

They do not wait for a lawyer to open the file, they scan every clause, extract every obligation, and surface intelligence the moment it matters. Humans always make the final call.

01

Contract Summariser

Advisory

Turns 50-page agreements into plain-English executive briefs: key terms, obligations and risks, in seconds instead of hours.

02

Clause Risk Analyser

Flags unlimited indemnity, uncapped liability, auto-renewal traps and one-sided termination, each with a confidence score and a recommended action.

03

Obligation Extractor

Reads the contract and pulls out every date, milestone and deliverable, auto-populating the tracker with assigned owners and due dates.

04

Renewal Recommender

Advisory

Weighs vendor performance, market benchmarks and spend to recommend renew, renegotiate or terminate, with the evidence to back it.

05

Contract Copilot

What third-party CLM SaaS can't do.

Compared with the CLM suites most teams bolt on around Microsoft 365: Icertis, Agiloft, DocuSign CLM, ContractPodAi.

General Counsel

Risk review in seconds, not hours

I used to spend three hours on a standard vendor agreement. The Clause Risk Analyser flags the issues in thirty seconds, I just validate and advise.

Legal Ops

Throughput without the email ping-pong

Stop routing contracts by inbox. A governed clause bank and parallel approvals move draft-to-signature in days, and every step is on the audit trail.

Procurement

No more renewal surprises

I once found out about a renewal the day after the termination window closed. Now I get alerts 90 days out, with an AI recommendation on whether to renew.
