At growing companies, contract managers don’t have time to comb through agreements line by line. When a 50-page vendor contract lands on their desk, they need to find critical clauses — like subcontracting permissions, indemnification terms, and renewal conditions — without missing key details. Keyword searches help, but phrasing differences make it easy to overlook important terms. Multiply that across hundreds of contracts, and small inefficiencies turn into costly risks.
Saige Assist: Markup takes the manual work off your plate. Describe the attribute you need, and AI finds and tags the right clauses instantly. No hunting through pages of legal text — just faster, more accurate contract markup that ensures nothing gets missed.
What is Saige Assist: Markup?
Saige Assist: Markup is a generative AI-powered feature that automates attribute tagging in contracts. Instead of manually identifying key terms and obligations, you can simply input a description of the attribute you need, and Saige Assist will scan the document to find relevant clauses.
It works for meta-attributes and term attributes, so you can extract meaningful contract data without relying on pre-trained AI.
This means:
- No need to build a custom model upfront
- Faster contract markup and data extraction
- A head start on AI-assisted contract analysis
Already have trained AI-models? Saige Assist still acts as an accuracy safeguard, providing an additional layer of data validation and backup support.
How to Use Saige Assist: Markup
Step 1: Enable Saige Assist for an Attribute
- Go to the Attributes section in IntelAgree
- Select an attribute (e.g., “Ability to Subcontract”)
- Turn on Saige Assist: Markup for the attribute
Step 2: Provide a Description
Once enabled, enter a detailed description of what the attribute represents. This helps Saige Assist understand what to look for in contracts.
For example, if you’re tagging an attribute related to subcontracting permissions, your description might be: "This describes whether a party's obligations outlined in the agreement can be subcontracted to another party."
The clearer the description, the more precise the results.
Step 3: Test the Attribute
Before applying it to a contract, you can test the description against a sample document. This allows you to:
- See if Saige Assist finds the right clause
- Validate that the markup is accurate
- Adjust the description if needed
Not sure how to write the ideal description? Saige Assist can handle that for you, too. Just provide a sample agreement and a brief description, and Saige Assist will rewrite your description on your behalf. Not only does this take extra work off your plate, but it also helps Saige Assist predict meta values more precisely (e.g., "Allowed," "Not Allowed," or "Silent" for a subcontracting clause).
Step 4: Apply It to Contracts
Once finalized, Saige Assist automatically scans any uploaded contracts and extracts the attributes.
- Upload a contract to IntelAgree
- Let Saige Assist scan and tag the document
- Review the extracted attributes in the Attribute History
If a match is found, Saige Assist not only tags the attribute but also predicts meta values if applicable. The extracted data is saved in Attribute History, allowing you to verify and refine your results as needed, ensuring consistent and reliable data extraction.
Why This Matters for Contract Teams
Faster Contract Review
While leveraging Saige Assist: Markup, Saige Assist eliminates the need to manually markup contracts, cutting down the time it takes to extract key clauses.
AI-Powered Accuracy
Instead of relying solely on human reviewers, Saige Assist provides an intelligent first pass at contract markup, ensuring no key information is overlooked.
No AI Training Required
Unlike traditional contract AI models that require training on historical contracts, Saige Assist works immediately with just a description – no AI expertise necessary.
More Data, Better AI
Extracted contract data can be used as training material for future AI models, improving their accuracy over time.
How Saige Assist: Markup Eliminates AI Training Barriers in CLM
AI-powered contract management has long required extensive model training before delivering real value. Companies invest in AI expecting immediate impact, only to realize that it takes a lot of time to build and refine custom models.
Saige Assist: Markup eliminates that hurdle. Its generative AI tags contract data instantly — no upfront training, no complex setup. Organizations without dedicated AI teams or bandwidth to train models can start seeing value right away with:
- Faster implementation
- Immediate AI-driven insights
- Less reliance on manual contract review
Get Started with Saige Assist: Markup
Sifting through contracts shouldn’t be a full-time job.
Saige Assist: Markup pinpoints key clauses instantly, so you’re not stuck searching, guessing, or missing critical details. No model training, no delays — just faster, more accurate contract markup from day one.
