Docusign
Application
An AI contract-review tool embedded in Microsoft Word that redlines agreements against playbooks, drafts clause language from plain-language instructions, and answers questions about a contract.
An intelligent agreement repository that uses Docusign Iris to automatically extract key terms, obligations and deadlines from stored contracts and make the portfolio searchable and reportable.
Contract lifecycle management application filed under Docusign IAM: it generates contracts from dynamic templates and uses AI to flag non-compliant clauses, suggest approved language and draft new clauses, runs AI-assisted review, negotiation and summarisation, extracts key terms automatically and answers questions over the repository, all driven by Docusign's Iris AI engine. Sold through sales only.
Family of AI-powered identity-verification and authentication products, using AI-enabled document and biometric liveness checks to validate signer identity, with certified-agent review for inconclusive cases.
No-code builder for agreement workflows that connects intake, document generation, conditional routing and signature steps and syncs data with CRM, procurement, storage and HR systems; Docusign's AI enters through agents that can be dropped into a workflow 'to handle dynamic, judgement-based tasks'. Included in every Docusign IAM plan, with a per-plan cap on the number of workflows.
AI agent
Ready-to-deploy and custom AI agents that act on a company's agreement context to triage intake, redline contracts against standards, and assemble relationship briefs.
Platform
Intelligent Agreement Management platform built around Iris, Docusign's AI that reads a customer's contracts and surfaces obligations, risks and renewal dates, plus an Agreement Manager and Workflow Builder for acting on what it finds.
Docusign's agreement-AI layer that extracts data from contracts, surfaces risk and renewal insights, and powers the assistant and agents across the IAM platform.
Writer
Application
Universal context layer that grounds AI agents in a company's Agent Memory (captured decisions and preferences) and Company Standards (brand, tone, compliance), listed in WRITER's own top-level product navigation alongside Models, AI Studio, WRITER Agent and WRITER for Slack.
Reusable, repeatable workflows in WRITER, so a piece of work done once can be run the same way again.
AI agent
An agent that plans and carries out multi-step work across a customer's own data and tools, under enterprise governance controls.
Platform
WRITER's retrieval layer. A specialised LLM reads a customer's own documents, spreadsheets, slides and PDFs and builds a graph of the semantic relationships between them rather than storing vector embeddings, so retrieval can follow multi-hop connections, break a broad question into sub-questions and return specific source citations before WRITER's Palmyra models generate the answer.
No counterpart
Writer sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Docusign yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Agent platform
WRITER's build surface: business teams assemble agents on an interoperable platform while technology teams keep visibility and governance over what ships.
