Aline Playbooks track changes

Ask Aline AI to update a playbook, or hand it a redline from a deal you just closed, and it proposes changes as tracked changes. Each change comes with its reasoning, and nothing takes effect until you accept it.

Why it matters

Your playbook keeps up with what your team actually agrees to, instead of going stale after the first draft.
Lessons from tough negotiations get written down, so the next deal starts from a stronger position.
A lawyer reviews every change, so you keep control of your positions.

Aline AI Chat contract intelligence

The AI chat can now answer questions across your whole repository or a single report, such as "What governing law do most of our NDAs use?" You get a counted answer with links to the documents behind it.

Why it matters

Portfolio questions that used to take a week of reading take a minute. That helps with diligence requests, regulatory impact checks and board reporting.
If some contracts haven't been analyzed yet, Aline tells you and fills the gap, so you know the answer covers everything.
You can open the raw data behind any answer and check the numbers yourself.

Aline AI signature detection

Aline now detects signatures when you upload a PDF, marks signed agreements as Signed and shows you where each signature is. Signature Detection is in Beta, and an admin can turn it on in your organization settings.

Why it matters

Migrating a contract archive no longer means opening every file to separate executed agreements from drafts.
Your repository and reports are accurate when they say "signed."
For digitally signed PDFs, Aline also tells you whether the document changed after signing.

Aline AI Skills: your best review, run the same way every time

Skills package your team's way of doing a task, like reviewing a vendor MSA or marking up an NDA, together with your templates and fallback language. Anyone can run a skill from the AI chat. Start with Aline's ready-made skills or ask the chat to build one for you.

Why it matters

A new hire reviews an NDA the way your general counsel would, on day one.
Business users get a first-pass review based on your positions, not generic ones.
When your positions change, you update the skill once and everyone who runs it gets the new version.
