‍

How it Works: Chat Mode or Playbooks

Check out our short demo video, or review the instructions below:

You can use Gavel Exec in two modes:

• Chat Mode, where you talk to it like an assistant to ask it to redline, draft legal work, summarize, or point out legal issues in your documents, or
• Playbook Mode, where you use Gavel's playbooks or set up your own to ask it to review and redline a document based on your rules

Chat Mode: Use Cases

Gavel Exec's Chat is built for:

1. Asking Questions or Getting Summaries

Ask Gavel Exec to explain terms, summarize sections, or identify risks. Examples:

• “What are the key obligations in this section?”
• “Summarize the indemnification clause in client-friendly terms.”
• “Which clauses relate to termination?”
  

2. Revising Clauses or Drafting New Language

Highlight any part of your document and ask Gavel Exec to rewrite or improve it using legally trained, domain-specific AI. Examples:

• “Make this clause more buyer-friendly."
  
• “Rewrite this section in simpler terms."
  
• “Draft a limitation of liability clause in the same language as the remainder of this paragraph.”

3. Redlining Documents

Use Gavel Exec to redline any contract based on your specific instructions or reference material. Redlines appear in the chat for your approval. Use the "Apply All" button to apply them all and Accept/Reject directly in Microsoft Word. You can ask for general markups or give precise instructions based on deal context. Examples:

• “Redline this clause to reflect seller-side positions.”
  
• “Apply redlines for a strong investor preference.”
  

4. Running Redlines Using Reference Documents

Upload a related document (like an LOI) and ask Gavel Exec to redline your agreement to match terms or highlight inconsistencies. Examples:

• “Redline this based on the uploaded LOI.”
  
• “Make sure the financing terms in this agreement align with those in the attached notes, and suggest redlined changes.”
