Overview
Spellbook (which rebranded from Rally) acts as an AI assistant directly within Microsoft Word for legal professionals working on contracts. Leveraging large language models like GPT-4, it helps automate and accelerate various tasks. Users can prompt Spellbook to review documents, suggest clauses, redline against playbooks or standards, identify missing information or risky terms, summarize sections, and even draft new language. It aims to be a "tailwind" for lawyers, handling repetitive tasks and providing suggestions while keeping the lawyer in control. It's designed for corporate, commercial, and in-house legal teams.
