Definely is an AI-powered legal drafting and contract review platform designed for law firms and in-house legal teams. Integrated natively into Microsoft Word and offered as a suite of tools (Vault, Draft, Enhance, Cascade, Proof, PDF), Definely leverages large language models on an organization’s proprietary contract repository to surface precedent clauses, track the knock-on effects of edits, automate hundreds of proofreading checks, and extract defined terms from PDFs—while fitting into existing legal workflows.
