What Is ClauseBuddy?
ClauseBuddy is a comprehensive drafting & reviewing toolbox that lives inside Microsoft Word, designed for lawyers and built by ClauseBase. It provides an AI-powered environment to help in-house legal teams with common challenges in drafting and reviewing legal documents. The platform allows users to build and maintain clause libraries, review agreements against an organisation’s standards, run comparisons, proofread and finalise documents and reduce inconsistencies and errors. By streamlining repetitive tasks, ClauseBuddy supports legal teams in working more efficiently and with greater consistency.

ClauseBuddy + LawVu
ClauseBuddy offers a comprehensive set of tools for drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts, available as an add-in within Microsoft Word.
The integration with LawVu allows legal teams to access their knowledge base in LawVu directly from Word, through ClauseBase’s AI-powered solution, ClauseBuddy. Within this environment, teams can:
Search for and reuse clauses from past work
Automate templates to speed up document creation
Draft, redraft & summarisetext fragments (such as clauses) with AI
Compare documents and summarise changes
Interogate (“chat”) the contents of one or more documents
Standardise fallback clauses for negotiations
Apply organisational standards consistently across documents
Clean-up the layout & contents of documents
This integration helps legal departments surface knowledge that would otherwise remain scattered in different systems or among individual team members, making it easier to apply consistent drafting and review practices.
