For years, Contract Management software has helped businesses manage contracts, but the experience of dealing with it has remained rigid and complex. Nowadays, Generative AI is altering the game, transforming how businesses access, analyze, and act on contract data. Yet unlocking this value requires more than AI itself, it requires an intuitive, conversational interface that enables users to ask questions and get immediate, actionable answers.
That’s where AskSirion comes in. As the world’s first AI-powered contract management agent, AskSirion transforms contracts from static documents into a dynamic, interactive experience, enabling instant insight along with action.
The Challenges: A Broken Experience in Contract Access and Action
If you ever found yourself rummaging for information you need for hours inside a contract, or spent hours stumbling around a complicated system to take a certain action, you are not alone. Contracts have essential business data, yet the way most businesses pull that information and put it to work remains time-consuming and archaic.
Challenge #1: Finding Insights Shouldn’t Feel Like a Hunt
Contracts hold millions of dollars’ worth of risks and opportunities, but even finding the right document can feel like a scavenger hunt. Important dates, terms, and compliance information are buried across repositories, forcing teams to spend hours sifting through files just to get the information they need.
The impact goes beyond frustration, it’s expensive. IACCM reports that a typical business with 1,000 employees wastes $2.5 million to $3.5 million each year just searching for and recreating lost documents. That’s money slipping away simply because contract data is locked in systems that make access difficult.
It’s not just companies that struggle, 90% of contracting professionals say finding specific documents is a challenge (EY Source). That is time lost, frustration mounting, and decisions delayed.
But finding documents is only half the battle. Getting actual insights, like risk exposure, financial obligations, or negotiation trends, can take days or even weeks. The data isn’t just in one place; it’s scattered across contracts, different systems, and even different teams. Someone has to pull it all together, clean it up, and analyze it before a clear answer emerges.
Challenge #2: Clunky Interfaces Keep Businesses from Taking Action
Even when users find the right contract insight, acting on it is another challenge. Legacy Contract Lifecycle Management systems are comprised of numerous steps: approvals, escalations, and amendments, all buried behind intricate interfaces. The greater the friction in these processes, the longer it takes to execute critical contract-related actions.
This is not an issue of inconvenience alone; it is a business problem. McKinsey found that companies investing in seamless user experiences outperform their peers with 32% higher revenue growth and 56% higher total shareholder returns (McKinsey Source).
The impact of these challenges extends beyond individual contracts. EY found that inefficiencies in contracting processes have led to lost business opportunities in more than 50% of organizations (EY Source).
Meet AskSirion: A New Way to Interact with Your Contracts
Legacy CLM systems require users to manually search through documents by hand, reconcile data, and struggle through cumbersome interfaces just to expose important information or initiate an action. AskSirion eliminates that friction.
Being a conversational CLM solution, AskSirion provides one interface for managing contracts: from clause extraction to summarizing obligations, comparing agreements, to triggering workflows. It serves as a bridge between contract data and actionable information to enable faster decision-making, risk reduction, and overall process optimization.
1. Talk to Your Contracts, in Any Language
Contracts contain complex legal and financial language, but AskSirion makes them easy to interact with.
- Need a summary of the contract? Instead of scanning pages, AskSirion extracts the key terms, obligations, and financial details so you can understand the agreement at a glance.
- Are you unsure what a legal term means? AskSirion breaks down legal terms into plain language, making contracts more accessible to non-legal teams.
- Want to check a critical calculation? AskSirion helps interpret numerical data within contracts, whether it’s payment schedules, penalties, or pricing terms.
- Working with global contracts? It doesn’t matter if the contract is in another language, AskSirion understands and translates, ensuring nothing gets lost in translation.
Everything AskSirion provides is backed by direct references to the contract, so you can always verify the information at its source.
2. Find Answers Across the Corpus
Many contract-related questions involve deciphering trends across numerous agreements. AskSirion makes large-scale contract analysis effortless.
- Want to check if a specific clause appears (or does not appear) in multiple contracts? AskSirion can search across your entire contract portfolio and highlight where similar terms are used.
- Need to compare terms across agreements? Instead of opening each document individually, AskSirion pulls the relevant sections side by side, making it easier to spot discrepancies.
- Are you looking for risk patterns? Whether it’s identifying gaps in liability clauses or detecting unfavorable payment terms, AskSirion helps surface insights that might otherwise go unnoticed.
- Reviewing past negotiations? AskSirion can track how contract terms have evolved across different counterparties, helping you make more informed decisions about future agreements.
Rather than relying on keyword searches that might miss the full context, AskSirion applies contextual understanding to retrieve more accurate, relevant results. It also allows for follow-up queries, making contract searches feel like a natural conversation instead of a frustrating hunt for information.
3. Actions, Insights, and Alerts at Your Command
Finding insights is only part of the equation, AskSirion also helps you act on them.
- Want to make sure you don’t miss a key deadline? Set up alerts for renewal dates, payment milestones, or compliance obligations, without digging through spreadsheets.
- Need to initiate an approval process? Instead of navigating through several pages, just tell AskSirion to route the contract for approval or flag a term for review.
- Concerned about risk exposure? AskSirion can monitor contract language and notify you when terms change or obligations need attention.
- Tracking contractual obligations? Instead of manually checking for compliance, AskSirion helps ensure commitments are being met, reducing legal and financial risk.
By combining search, insights, and actions into one conversational interface, AskSirion helps teams move faster and focus on what really matters, making informed decisions, rather than chasing information.
