§Clauseium
Contract Redlining

AI redlining, in your Word document.

Clauseium reads a counterparty's contract, applies your playbook, and generates Word track-changes in minutes — not the half-day a senior associate spends doing the same.

Manual redlining is the highest-volume, lowest-leverage task on most Indian in-house desks. Clauseium automates the mechanical part — applying your playbook positions, suggesting market-standard fallbacks, generating clean track-changes — so your team spends time on the judgment calls, not the markup. Every suggested redline is grounded in the Indian Contract Act, DPDP Act, and the clause-language library reviewed by Bar Council-enrolled advocates.

What it does for you.

Track-changes in Microsoft Word, natively

Redlines apply as Word track-changes in your active document. Accept, reject, or modify as you would for any human-generated edit. No copy-paste between tools, no PDF round-trips.

Aligned to your playbook

Upload your playbook positions — indemnity caps, liability limits, payment terms, IP language. Clauseium redlines the counterparty's contract to match your standards, with fallback positions when the counterparty pushes back.

Indian-law fallback library

When your playbook doesn't cover an edge case, Clauseium falls back to a 200+ clause library reviewed by Bar Council-enrolled advocates. Stamp-duty placeholders, MSME compliance, DPDP processor language — all pre-drafted to Indian-market standards.

Audit trail per redline

Every redline is annotated with the underlying reasoning — which playbook position triggered it, which Indian statute applies, which market norm was used as the benchmark. Defensible to GC review, audit, and counterparty pushback.

How it works.

  1. Step 1

    Upload

    Drag a counterparty's contract into Clauseium or open it in Word with the Clauseium add-in side panel.

  2. Step 2

    Map playbook

    Clauseium identifies clauses, classifies them, and matches them against your playbook positions.

  3. Step 3

    Generate redlines

    Track-changes appear in Word with annotations showing why each edit was made — playbook position, fallback rationale, statute reference.

  4. Step 4

    Review and accept

    Use Word's standard track-change tools to accept, reject, or modify each redline. Clauseium's annotations stay attached for audit.

  5. Step 5

    Export

    Send the redlined document to the counterparty. Export the redline summary as a PDF for internal sign-off or board reporting.

FAQ

AI Contract Redlining for Indian Counsel — questions, answered.

How does AI redlining work in Clauseium?
Clauseium reads the counterparty's contract clause by clause, classifies each clause (indemnity, LoL, payment, IP, termination, etc.), matches it against your uploaded playbook positions, and generates track-change edits to bring it in line. Where your playbook is silent, Clauseium falls back to the Indian-market standard clause library reviewed by our advisory advocates.
Are the redlines actually usable, or do they need significant editing?
Our internal benchmarks against a 50-contract test set show 78% of suggested redlines are accepted as-is by the reviewing counsel; another 18% are accepted with minor wording tweaks; only 4% are rejected outright. The acceptance rate is highest on standardised clauses (payment, governing law, dispute resolution) and lowest on bespoke commercial terms.
Can I bring my own playbook?
Yes — and you should. Upload your firm's playbook positions in any structured format (Word, Excel, JSON) and Clauseium learns your standards. The first redline generation against your playbook takes about 30 minutes of setup; after that, every contract gets redlined to your specifications automatically.
Does this work in Microsoft Word for Mac?
Yes. The Clauseium Word add-in works on Microsoft 365 for Windows, Mac, and Word on the web. We don't currently support Word for iPad or Android.
What if the counterparty rejects the redlines?
That's normal contract negotiation. Clauseium suggests fallback positions for every redline — if the counterparty rejects 'indemnity capped at 24 months,' the fallback might be 'capped at 18 months with super-cap exceptions for IP and confidentiality.' This is calibrated to Indian-market negotiation norms and saves you from generating fallbacks from scratch.
Can I use Clauseium for bulk redline generation?
Yes — Chambers and Enterprise tiers support bulk redline workflows. Upload a batch of vendor contracts; Clauseium generates redlines against your playbook in parallel. Useful for end-of-year vendor-renewal sweeps and post-M&A contract harmonisation.
