Why This Matters
Law firms and in-house teams have long faced the tension between quality-driven legal work and time-driven document workflows. Lawyers spend excessive hours switching between Word, email, internal systems and manual tools—interrupting flow, increasing risk and driving up cost. At Lexi, we recognise that your drafting environment is sacred. You love Word. You know how it works. You don’t want another app to learn, another log-in to manage.
With the Word Add-In, Lexi moves to where you already are. Now you can:
Draft first-cut agreements, pleadings or memos with Lexi-powered suggestions inside Word.
Invoke Lexi-task agents (e.g., review, clause analysis, supporting research) without leaving your doc.
Seamlessly integrate intake, tracking, case-history and collaboration with the rest of Lexi’s stack.
Maintain full version-control, enable firm-style templates and lock in compliance and governance inside your familiar Word UI.
Key Features at a Glance
Here are some of the standout capabilities in the new Word Add-In:
Instant Drafting & Suggestions – Trigger Lexi’s AI to generate a first-pass document or expand a clause, directly inside Word.
Context-Aware Assistance – Because you’re working in-document, the Lexi Add-In understands your draft’s context (case name, parties, jurisdiction) and offers relevant prompts.
Clause Library + Firm Standards – Lexi accesses your firm’s approved clause library and style-guide, enabling generation that aligns with your preferred language and risk-profile.
Workflow Orchestration from Within Word – Assign tasks (review by senior, intake update, client upload) and see Lexi’s tracking and notifications without exiting Word.
Seamless Collaboration – Work on the document with your team, keep Lexi’s metadata and history intact, maintain audit-trail for compliance.
Secure & Governed – Data flows remain within your document environment and Lexi’s secure backend. You retain full control of access, versioning, and privacy.
What Makes It Different
While many legal-tech tools offer standalone AI-drafting platforms, Lexi’s Word Add-In bridges the gap between traditional drafting and next-gen workflow automation. Here’s how it stands out:
Zero-disruption integration: You don’t need to learn a new UI, export/import docs or switch systems.
End-to-end process continuity: From intake → draft → review → case-tracking → completion, Lexi keeps your workflow seamless.
Firm-specific intelligence: Your standards, templates and library stay front-and-centre.
Automated tracking & analytics: As you draft, Lexi captures valuable metadata (turnaround, reuse, clauses used) to drive insights.
Global readiness: Built with multilingual support and tailored for jurisdictions such as India, Singapore, Australia and beyond.
Use Cases in Practice
Here’s how different users can benefit:
Boutique / mid-sized law firms: Use the Add-In to standardise drafting across the team, reduce junior turnover burden and accelerate turnaround times.
In-house legal teams: Leverage internal templates, collaborate with business stakeholders directly in Word and maintain oversight on workflows.
Solo practitioners: Get enterprise-style drafting and workflow tools inside the familiar Word environment—no heavy training, no costly onboarding.
How to Get Started
Update your Lexi desktop client (or request deployment via your IT admin).
Open Word and go to Insert → Add-Ins → Lexi Add-In.
Choose your matter/case or create a new one. Lexi will load relevant party, jurisdiction and template metadata.
Start drafting or use Lexi’s “Generate” or “Suggest” buttons.
Assign a review, capture document history in Lexi’s dashboard and monitor analytics.
Check training modules and best-practice guides in Lexi’s resource centre for tips on maximising value.
Tips for Maximising Impact
Define your key templates: Pre-populate Lexi with your most frequently used documents (engagement letters, NDAs, pleadings) so the Add-In hits the ground running.
Train your team: A short lunch-and-learn (~30 mins) will accelerate adoption. Show how moving from Word ➞ Lexi ➞ final PDF now becomes Word-only.
Monitor usage & insights: Use Lexi’s dashboard to review which templates are reused, how much time is being saved and where bottlenecks still exist.
Ensure governance: Use the Add-In’s built-in controls to lock sensitive clauses, embed review triggers and maintain audit-trail.
Looking Ahead
This Add-In is just the first phase of Lexi’s vision to embed legal-AI directly into your day-to-day workflows. Coming soon: deeper integrations with collaboration platforms (Teams/Slack), voice-assistant document drafting, client-facing portals inside Word and even cross-document linking of matters and precedents.
We believe legal technology should adapt to you—not the other way round. With the Word Add-In, Lexi brings automation, intelligence and scale into the very environment you draft in. Welcome to your new drafting-hub.
