Draft and review a legal document with your bot
Draft a document from scratch or a template, let a panel of AI reviewers find the problems, decide what to change, and walk away with a clean file ready to sign.
Who this is for
You need a legal document — an NDA, a founder or shareholder agreement, an employment contract, an options program, anything in between — and you'd rather describe what you need than draft it yourself. You have a bot to talk to and a rough idea of the deal (who's involved, what it covers).
Before you start
- The tool enabled on your bot. Legal drafting isn't on by default. If your bot says it doesn't have this tool, ask your org's admin to turn it on.
- Which one you need. Any document, any jurisdiction, drafted from scratch or an upload → ask for Solomon. A Swedish startup document (aktieägaravtal, founder agreement, options program, SAFE, NDA, and more) from a ready-made template → ask for Paper. If you're not sure, just describe what you need — your bot will pick the right one, or ask.
- For e-signing at the end: your org needs GATE Sign enabled too. Your bot will tell you if it isn't.
Steps
Start the document. Tell your bot what you need. From scratch or an upload: "Draft an NDA between us and Acme — mutual, two years." From a Swedish template: "Start a founder agreement (grundaravtal) for our team." Your bot creates the case (or document) and produces a first draft — either filled in from what you told it, or from the template library, with placeholders wherever it's missing information.
Fill in the gaps. If your bot flags missing pieces — a party's details, a deal term, a missing exhibit — answer in chat: "Acme AB, org number 559000-0001, and it's a two-year term." Your bot updates the draft.
Ask for a council review. "Have the council review this draft." A panel of AI reviewers reads the document from multiple angles — arguing for your side, arguing like the other side's lawyer, checking compliance, checking whether it's fair and enforceable, and looking for what's missing entirely (vesting, IP assignment, and the like). Each comes back with plain-English findings, each rated low, medium, or high severity.
Decide what to accept. Go through the findings with your bot: "Show me the review findings," then accept, reject, or defer each one. In Solomon, high-severity findings are always decided one at a time — your bot cannot bulk-accept a risky finding on your behalf, by design. Paper works differently: as soon as the review finishes, every finding with a suggested fix — including high-severity ones — is already sitting there as a ready-to-apply suggestion, with no extra pause. Read every Paper suggestion yourself before accepting it, especially anything flagged high; nothing forces you to slow down the way Solomon does.
Apply the changes. In Solomon, once you've decided the findings you care about, ask: "Fold in the accepted changes." Your bot produces a new, clean version with just those edits — anything you've locked stays untouched. In Paper, review the suggestions from step 4 and accept or reject each one directly; there's no separate "apply" step to ask for.
Export it. "Export this as a Word doc with tracked changes," or "give me a PDF," or "send me a link I can share." Solomon can produce a Word document, a Word document with visible tracked changes, a PDF, or a read-only share link. Paper exports as Markdown or PDF (no tracked-changes doc yet).
Send it for signature. "Send this for signature to Anna and Erik." Your bot hands the document to GATE Sign, which manages the signing links from there — see get documents signed.
Iterate. Nothing is final — ask for another council pass after edits, keep asking your bot for a new version, and every version stays on record so you can compare or go back.
What you'll see
- In chat: the draft as it's written, the findings from each reviewer angle, and confirmation each time a new version is produced.
- Exported files: a Word doc, a tracked-changes Word doc (Solomon only), a PDF, or Markdown (Paper) — wherever you asked your bot to deliver them.
- A share link, when you ask for one: read-only, no login, and expires after a set time.
Troubleshooting
- Your bot says it can't draft or review legal documents. The tool isn't enabled for your bot yet — ask your org's admin to turn it on.
- A high-severity finding won't get accepted along with the others in Solomon. That's intentional — Solomon never lets a bulk action accept a risky finding. Ask your bot to decide that one finding by itself.
- A Paper suggestion showed up before you'd looked at the finding it came from. Expected — Paper turns every finding with a fix into a suggestion the moment the review finishes, regardless of severity. Read it before accepting; nothing else will stop you.
- A change you expected didn't land after you asked to apply the accepted findings. Check whether that clause is locked — locked clauses are frozen on purpose and never touched by this step. Ask your bot to unlock it first if you really want it changed.
- Company lookups or legal citations come back looking generic. Some external lookups (Swedish company registry, case-law search) fall back to placeholder data when no live connection is configured for your org — ask your admin to confirm those are wired up if you need live results.
- Your share link says it's expired or invalid. Share links expire after a set time — ask your bot to issue a new one.
