Before Genie, it would take 2-3 hours to tailor boilerplate templates to my needs even if they're straightforward. By the time I've done that, even if it's easy, I've used a whole morning. Genie can now do the heavy lifting of creating that viable first draft for me, which is automatically tailored to my key requirements, and I can then refine. It’s a massive time saver.
WIth Genie I'm saving time, meaning that more work can be taken care of by my own self rather than depending upon others.

Speed and productivity are massively enhanced with Genie, alongside tools like Docusign and Grammarly
Easy to use and no customer support needed. Which was a surprise, since I had never used AI documents or the Genie applications.
Generating trustworthy documents that are governed by the correct country law, and drafted using plain English terms, combined with legalese would otherwise be held up on lawyers desks for months! Genie makes it possible to move forward promptly on projects.
I don't trust standard AI for any legal work, but with Genie, I have a lot of confidence! I love the interface, how easy it is to use and all the many improvements that have been made since I first started using it.
I use Genie for document review, which has significantly improved my workflow. When I found it, I was struggling with efficiently catching typos and inaccuracies in legal documents. Since using Genie, I've noticed a marked improvement in the quality of my reviews. I save about 2 hours per contract, and I can finalize agreements much faster.
I was trying to create an NDA for a contractor service and needed someone or an AI to help me do that and also to proof read the document to be sure all details were there, then I stumbled on Genie AI and tried it out and to my surprise it actually worked well!
Genie's template library and smart AI has saved us so much time and headache in getting our contracts drafted and improved. It's incredibly impactful for fast-growing companies like us who have to quickly get on top of contracts in employment, sales, partnerships, etc.
It’s simple and the interface is easy to engage with. I'd say it's made my practice possible and I'm not exaggerating.
Great tool for start ups looking to get legal documents done quickly.
I use Genie for creating contracts for software development, it's better than the LLMs, but not perfect yet. I still need a lawyer to finish things off.
Not many tools have a clause library, based on substantiated data. Genie does!
Genie AI has streamlined the legal review process and improved overall efficiency. Couldn't recommend it enough.
Genie was so intuitive, and easy to use, allowed me to not only review but adjust my document so that my clients and me were protected and expectations were clear.
The cost of drafting high-quality legal drafting for start-ups can be substantial. When searching for a solution to this problem, I thought of Genie. They offer an excellent, user-friendly platform that allows us to draft, review, and create contracts with just the click of a button. The team is always available to address any issues that arise, and I don’t think I’ve ever talked about a product as much as Genie.
I was bogged down with manual reviews, constantly battling with consistency or missing a small but key detail. Their AI document review feature has been a game changer. I keep coming back to them time and time again.
Genie saves me time, gives me confidence in handling legal matters, and produces clear, customizable agreements. It's extremely easy to export for signing with a tool like Docusign, and I’ve already recommended it to others!
I am happy to see the level of security employed by this site. As some of the information they hold through documents we create is sensitive it is imperative that security is at the forefront of Genie's considerations. I would not want this information to be available to anyone, especially competitors.
Given my time constraints, I like the support that Genie offers, compared to LexisNexis
Now that I’m using Genie for drafting documents, I’m saving 12-15 hours of my time a week and I’m saving €20,000 a year on legal fees.
As a freelancer, I can now prepare proper long-form legal contracts for and with my clients, using AI
