Built for contracts. Not adapted for them.
Harvey built a broad legal platform. Spellbook built the best AI for contracts, purposely designed for in-house legal teams who draft, review, and negotiate every day.
Contract drafting
Draft faster, inside the document you live in.
Supporting copy: Spellbook works natively inside Microsoft Word across multiple documents at once. Harvey added a Word integration in 2024 that only works on one document at a time.

Contract review
Review contracts against your standards, not generic AI judgment.
Spellbook encodes your legal team's standards into every contract review automatically. And unlike Harvey, you can enforce those standards with procurement, sales, and operations teams through Greenlight, so they can handle routine contract reviews on their own without pulling legal into every deal.

Both Spellbook and Harvey connect to the tools legal teams rely on every day. Where Spellbook is different is our native Word add-in. We built Spellbook in Word from day one, because that’s where legal teams draft, review, and negotiate the contracts that run their business.
