Introduction to Robin's Word Add-In (WAI)

Robin's Word Add-In (WAI) integrates our AI Assistant directly into Microsoft Word—bringing AI-powered contract review, drafting, proofreading, and analysis right into your everyday workflow. With WAI, legal professionals can leverage powerful AI to understand the full content of their agreements, surfacing insights, obligations, and risks for smarter decision-making at scale and faster contract review/redlining, all without switching applications.

Key Benefits

• Faster, smarter contract review: Instantly find, summarize, and analyze clauses and obligations.
• AI-assisted drafting: Generate, refine, and rewrite clauses using trusted AI in your preferred Word environment.
• Reduced risk of errors: Proofread with AI, check for missing information, and validate defined terms for consistency.
• Seamless integration: Review and edit directly in Word—no extra file uploads or new tools to learn.

Core Features

1. Find and Summarize Clauses

• Search for specific terms or clauses in plain English.
  Example: "Find the governing law clause."
  Example: "Summarize the payment terms."
  
• Ask Robin to summarize redlines
  Example: "Summarize the redlines. Present the output in a table format with the following columns: (i) clause number and clause name, (ii) type of amendment, (iii) original wording, (iv) new wording and (v) effect of amendment."

2. AI-Assisted Drafting & Redrafting

• Ask WAI to draft new clauses or improve existing language.
  Example: "Draft a limitation of liability clause capped at $1 million."

4. Identify Placeholders & Missing Information

• Detect and highlight missing clauses, placeholders, or undefined terms to prevent delays before signing.
  Example: "Identify any missing information."

5. General quick Q&A

• Ask direct questions and get immediate answers on contract content.
  Example: "Does this contract have an automatic renewal?"
  Example: "What are the notice requirements for termination?"

WAI Mark-up Workflow

Here’s how users complete key contract review and negotiation tasks using WAI:

1. Open your contract in Microsoft Word
   Make sure the Robin Word Add-In is installed and visible in your toolbar. If not, follow your usual install steps.
   
2. Launch Robin and log in
   Click the Robin icon. Log in using your credentials to connect with your organisation’s platform.
   
3. Start with your Review
   Use WAI’s “Ask” mode for general questions or quick summaries.
   Use WAI’s “Draft” mode to help draft clauses to insert directly into your document - these could be clauses that are missing from your document.
   Use WAI’s “Edit” mode to make edits to existing clauses ensuring alignment with your organisations’ positions.
   Use WAI’s “Research” mode to enhance answers with authoritative, up-to-date information from a curated set of trusted legal sources on the web.
   
4. Review AI suggestions, edits, and risk flags
   WAI analyzes the contract and surfaces clause-level recommendations—these might be tracked changes, comments, or highlighted text based on your company standards.
   
5. Accept, refine, or reject edits directly in Word
   Choose which recommendations to keep, adapt, or remove using Word’s review features. You’re always in control—nothing is changed without your approval.

Best Practices

• Be Specific: Use clear, direct prompts (e.g., "Summarize confidentiality obligations" vs. "What does this contract say?").
• Review AI outputs: Always check and contextualise AI drafts before approving.
