What it is
ThoughtRiver is an AI contract review tool for agreements reviewed before or after signing. Its Lexible LLM flags issues, obligations, and risks, while Playbooks check contracts against preset criteria and show which provisions are met or unmet. Teams can generate review output or redlines, and generative editing is designed to follow drafting style and negotiation guidelines. Contracts can be submitted by email, drag and drop, or the Word add-in; the platform works inside Outlook, Word, and Teams. Listed integrations include Microsoft 365, Power BI, HighQ, and iManage, and ThoughtRiver provides a public API following the OpenAPI Specification. It focuses on in-house teams and law firms processing over 200 agreements per year, while also supporting non-legal teams. ThoughtRiver lists no free plan and a 28-day trial. Monthly plans are 6.00 USD, 14.00 USD, and $49 a month; Professional starts at £15,000 a year and Enterprise at £30,000 a year.
