7.2 out of 10, its highest score on any guide how this is calculated
An AI legal assistant aimed at in-house teams fielding repeated questions from the business, answering routine queries so they stop queueing for a lawyer.
What it costs
No published list price. Reported at approximately $450 per user a month, which is the top of the per-seat range in this category.
How it scores, and where
We score a tool for the job each guide is about rather than giving it one number everywhere, so Wordsmith scores differently depending on what you are trying to do. These are its actual scores on the guides it appears on. How we score.

Fit by buyer

Who it suits
In-house teams whose main drain is the same questions arriving repeatedly from across the business rather than contract volume. That is a real and under-recognised cost, and it is the specific thing this addresses.
Who should look elsewhere
Teams whose problem is contract throughput. At a reported $450 per user a month it is priced well above the drafting and review tools, and it is solving a different problem from most of this market.
Limitations
At roughly $450 per user a month it costs more per seat than any other tool here, so light or occasional use is hard to justify. There is no published pricing to check that against.
