# Draftwise

> Draftwise is a contract drafting, review, and negotiation AI platform powered by your organization's own legal knowledge. Founded in 2021, Draftwise executes complex drafting, review, and search workflows directly within Microsoft Word, drawing from your firm's best guidance, precedent, and language.

## About

Draftwise serves the legal industry's most demanding clients globally, including over half the Vault 10, dozens of AmLaw 100 firms, Magic Circle firms, and Fortune 500 in house legal teams. The company is headquartered in New York City with an office in London.

Draftwise is a Y Combinator alumnus backed by a $20M Series A from Index Ventures. The team includes experienced engineers from companies like Palantir and Google alongside legal professionals from top global firms.

## How It Works

Draftwise integrates directly into Microsoft Word, the environment where lawyers already work. Rather than requiring users to switch tools or learn new interfaces, Draftwise brings AI powered contract intelligence into existing workflows.

The platform uses a context engineering approach, building proprietary ontologies and deep data layers that give the AI genuine understanding of legal concepts, market standards, and organizational preferences. This means the AI draws from your organization's own precedent, playbooks, and institutional knowledge rather than relying on generic models.
