Contracts & Coffee: Episode 1 – Introducing SIA and Review Pro

Welcome to the very first episode of Contracts & Coffee, Summize’s series exploring the intersection of legal technology, AI and the evolving role of in-house legal.

In this episode, Tom Dunlop (CEO and Co-founder) sits down with Jonny Jessop (Head of Pre-sales and Summize whiz) to introduce two powerful features: SIA (Summize Intelligent Agents) and Review Pro. These innovations are designed to streamline contract review, reduce manual work and empower legal teams to focus on strategic advisory – not just redlining.

What’s brewing in Episode 1?

• What Summize Intelligent Agents actually are – and why it’s not just another chatbot.
• How multiple AI agents work together to enhance contract workflows.
• The role of Review Pro in automating contract review inside Word.
• Real-world examples of how SIA could transform in-house legal work.  

Q&A highlights

Q: What is SIA and how does it work?

A: SIA stands for Summize Intelligent Agents – a collection of AI-powered agents that support different tasks across the contract lifecycle. Rather than one generic bot, SIA uses multiple agents that work in parallel or sequence to enhance workflows like contract creation, review and query handling. Even better, it’s embedded into the Summize CLM, not a standalone tool.

Q: What is Review Pro and why is it useful?

A: Review Pro is Summize’s AI-powered contract review feature that works directly inside Microsoft Word. It helps legal teams find relevant clauses, triage documents against playbooks and suggest redlines – all within your existing workflow. It’s designed to save time without disrupting the way you already work.

Q: Can legal teams trust AI to make decisions?

A: Trust is built into our approach here at Summize. Every AI-driven suggestion includes a clear audit trail showing how the decision was made and what content was used. Legal professionals remain in control – they can review, edit or reject suggestions based on their own expertise and business context.

Q: How does it differ from tools like ChatGPT?

A: Unlike ChatGPT, which is trained on general internet data and prone to hallucinations, Summize’s AI is trained on secure, relevant contract data. It doesn’t replace legal judgment – it supports it by providing accurate, contextual insights that lawyers can act on confidently. Read our blog to find out more about ChatGPT and legal teams.

Q: What’s the goal of AI in legal tech?

A: To us, AI should augment legal advice, not automate it. Legal is an advisory function, not a transactional one. Our tools aim to remove manual, repetitive tasks so lawyers can focus on strategic thinking, problem-solving and delivering value.
