Summize brings AI to Word — Ironclad brings AI to the full CLM

Summize helps legal teams redline faster in Microsoft Word. But contract management is more than just reviewing and redlining. With Summize:

  • There’s no native editor to review your contracts faster
  • AI doesn’t get smarter as you add more contracts
  • There’s no way to track obligations at scale

Ironclad built AI specifically for contract intelligence

Jurist learns from your contracts

AI analyzes your repository and learns your preferred language. The more contracts you process, the smarter Jurist gets.

A closed notebook with a green spine and lined pages sits on a light surface. A black and gold pen, often used as a Docusign alternative for handwritten signatures, rests diagonally on the open page, which also has an orange circle near the bottom.

Purpose-built for legal language

Jurist is trained on legal documents and contract-specific terminology.

Three rectangular cardholders in green, navy blue, and orange, each with a white top section and a curved notch in the middle, are arranged side by side against a plain light background, offering an organized look as an Agiloft alternative.

Works across the entire lifecycle

Ironclad AI powers intake forms, redlining, obligation tracking, risk analysis, and reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Ironclad implementation take?

Most customers implement Ironclad in weeks, not months. You can self-start with Smart Import and Ironclad Academy, or choose white-glove onboarding. Ironclad’s AI works from day one because it is pre-trained on legal matters and will learn from your legacy contracts as you upload them.

Does Ironclad integrate with Microsoft Word?

Yes, Ironclad integrates with Microsoft Word. The integration allows you to open Ironclad documents in Word, finish your edits, and save the document back to Ironclad.

For teams that prefer a faster approach, Ironclad has a native DOCX editor that works in your browser with real-time collaboration, that eliminates the need for Word.

Ironclad also integrates with Google Docs. You can collaborate with others on Ironclad documents directly in Google Docs. When you’re done, you can publish the updated version back into Ironclad Editor.

How does Ironclad’s AI differ from Summize’s AI?

Ironclad’s Jurist is purpose-built for contracts and trained on legal language. It learns from your specific agreements and gets smarter over time. Summize uses generic OpenAI models that don’t learn from your repository, which means more time spent manually setting up playbooks and reviewing AI outputs for legal accuracy.

Can Ironclad handle complex enterprise requirements?

Yes. Ironclad serves over 2,000 global companies with industry-leading security, compliance, and scalability requirements.
