sage | sāj | noun · a person of profound wisdom; one whose judgment is trusted.

Get the full value of every agreement —
from the wisdom that built your business.

Saige Assist is IntelAgree's generative-AI assistant — named for the sage advice a great contracts team earns over years. It holds your playbooks, your templates, your language, and the decisions that built your business, and puts that wisdom to work on every agreement — so the value you negotiated is the value you actually get.

01Why we call it Saige

Every contracts team runs on wisdom that was never written down. The reason you cap liability the way you do. The fallback your old GC always reached for. The phrasing your business actually means when it says “net 30.”

When the person who held that wisdom moves on, it doesn't transfer with the files. It just… goes quiet.

Saige Assist is named for sagesage advice, sage wisdom, what today you'd just call context. It's built to keep that wisdom in the building, and to make it useful on the very next agreement.

i.
The wisdom of your playbooks
Your approved positions, your acceptable fallbacks, what “right” looks like before anyone opens a document.
ii.
The wisdom of your templates & language
How your company actually writes a clause — your standard terms, your house style, your business meaning.
iii.
The wisdom of every decision you've made
The redlines you've accepted and rejected over years — the institutional memory a new hire would take a decade to absorb.
02The problem worth naming

Institutional
knowledge has a
half-life.

Your contracts work was always done by people who cared, and done well. The limit was never effort. It was that the reasoning lived in heads and inboxes — so every departure, every reorg, every “the person who knew that left” quietly resets the team.

The documents stay. The judgment behind them is what erodes.

Years
a new hire needs to absorb the judgment a departing expert held — judgment Saige can apply on day one.
INSTITUTIONAL WISDOM → counsel leaves reorg expert retires wisdom at risk (the widening gap)
Knowledge held in people & inboxes Knowledge actually written down

Illustrative. Every team feels this curve differently — Saige Assist's job is to flatten the drops by capturing the reasoning, not just the document.

03What gives Saige Assist its context

Wisdom in. Better agreements out.
That loop is the whole idea.

Saige Assist is purpose-built generative AI, trained on your playbooks and contract data — not the open web. Three sources of wisdom feed it. It applies them to every moment of an agreement, and learns from the result.

YOUR WISDOM Playbooks approved positions & fallbacks Templates & language your standard terms & meaning Decision history every redline you've accepted CONTEXT ENGINE APPLIED TO EVERY AGREEMENT Draft from your standards Review & summarize Redline — favoring your side Score & explain risk Answer questions across the portfolio every result teaches it · the feedback loop
The moat

Saige Assist owns the interface, the contract ontology, and the feedback loop — not just a raw model. That's a decade of domain-specific design you can't replicate by swapping models or bolting on a chatbot.

04What changes for your team

The role of the contract professional is shifting — from doing to managing.

Yesterday · doing
Hunting for the right precedent
Reading every line of boilerplate
Re-typing the same redlines
Chasing approvals over email

Now · managing
Directing an assistant trained on your playbooks
Reviewing exceptions, not boilerplate
Approving suggestions that show their work
Teaching it what “right” looks like

Saige Assist doesn't replace the expert. It makes them the expert in the loop — the same judgment, freed from the manual grind and pointed at the work that actually needs a person.

05It grows with you · the five levels

Saige Assist is a modular suite of five nested levels. Each one includes everything beneath it — so the wisdom compounds as you climb, and you never pay for capability you're not ready to use.

Each level includes everything beneath it.

06Where the wisdom shows up

Not a separate AI tool. The same context, present at every step.

Saige Assist surfaces its insight when you need it — finding, structuring, negotiating, and quantifying risk — inside the workflow you already use.

Find anything
Ask a plain-language question across a contract and its related agreements — reasoning over terms, dates, parties, and reminders.

Saige Assist
shows its work.

When Saige Assist redlines a contract, the work is the proof: you see exactly what changed, and the approved position it changed to. Reasoning, not magic — and you approve every edit.

  • Grounded in your playbook
    Every suggested edit traces to your approved positions and clause library — not a generic guess.
  • You approve every change
    Saige Assist proposes; legal accepts, edits, or rejects. The guardrails stay with your team.
  • Tracked & auditable
    Every change is tracked in Word, logged, and retained across versions — nothing happens silently.
  • Favors your side
    Subscriber-Aware Redlining means edits lean to your entity's position, not the counterparty's.
08Saige Assist: Agent

Find everything in your agreements —
just by asking.

Saige Assist: Agent turns your whole contract portfolio into something you can simply ask. Pose a question in plain language and get a precise answer — pulled from your own contracts and cited to the exact clause, in seconds. No hunting, no toggling, no re-reading.

A general AI assistant only knows what you paste into it. It can't see the cap you negotiated last cycle, the approvals you've configured, or the position your playbook calls for.

Saige Assist: Agent brings all of it to bear. Ask how to approach a renewal and it answers from your own precedent — and tells you what your own process will require before you commit.

That grounding is the difference between a confident-sounding guess and an answer your team can act on.

Saige Assist grounded in your data
How should we approach the Acme renewal?
Last cycle, Acme accepted a 3% uplift cap (MSA v2, §6.1). Their current draft removes it. Precedent favors holding the cap — and an uplift above 5% would route to Finance approval. Draft a redline to your standard →
playbookprecedentapprovals

One question. Answers from across your whole portfolio.

  • “Where are we exposed?”
    Off-standard terms and uncapped liability, flagged across every active agreement — with the clause to check.
  • “What's renewing — and what will it cost?”
    Renewal dates, notice windows, and price terms, surfaced before they lapse.
  • “Summarize this MSA.”
    The deal in plain language, with the clauses that actually matter.
  • “Find every agreement with this party.”
    The whole relationship — every contract, amendment, and key date — in one view.
  • “Draft this to our standard.”
    On-playbook language, cited and ready to drop into Word.

As business gets more complex — a new tariff, a force-majeure event, a regulation — the questions you need to ask of your contracts change overnight. Saige Assist already holds your context, so you can find where you're exposed and get the full value of every agreement — across its whole life, not just at signature.

09Why purpose-built context compounds

If your team already reaches for ChatGPT to read a contract, that instinct is right.

General models draft well. The open question is whether the wisdom sticks — or resets with every session. The difference between generic AI and Saige Assist is architectural, not feature-count.

Generic AI starts from zero every time. Your context compounds — every decision your team captures becomes wisdom no future model can backfill.
Generic AI

One model for everyone. Forgets each session. Reads only the document in front of it.

No audit trail; literal answers; no sense of your legal nuance.

Saige Assist

Trained on your playbooks and history. Retains and evolves inside your CLM.

Explainable, auditable, built for contract professionals — and it favors your side.
