How the Summize contract intelligence system works

How it Works

A system that
works around you.

Buried under intake requests? Chasing contract versions? Answering questions the business should be able to answer itself?  

Summize removes contracting weight so your legal teams can do what they do best: lead. Three connected layers work beneath the surface of the tools your business already uses - putting legal knowledge, operational control and AI intelligence exactly where they're needed, the moment they're needed.

The Summize System

Three sophisticated layers
power the system

Summize is built on three interlocking layers, each working in tandem to deliver contract intelligence across your whole business.

01

The Context

The Knowledge Layer sits at the base.

This is the foundational intelligence that fuels your Summize system. All your legal contracts are stored and memorised here. With 200 datapoints extracted per contract, every datapoint is accurately remembered and robustly applied.

02

The Capability

The Contract Operations Layer sits in the middle.

This is where Summize brings this intelligence to the full contract lifecycle. It discreetly layers on top of your existing toolkit (Outlook, Salesforce, Word, Teams, Slack and more), optimizing the end-to-end flow.

03

The Experience

On top we have the 
Agentic AI Layer.

This is where SIA (Summize Intelligence Agents) operate. This suite of AI agents are embedded across the entire contract journey, providing instant, reliable answers grounded in your own knowledge and standards.

Powering great legal teams at global companies.

Built into your
business, not bolted on.

Your business will interact with Summize within tools they already use - Outlook, Word, Teams, Slack, Gmail, Salesforce, HubSpot, Claude and more. Adoption is immediate, and contract intelligence reaches every team without disruption.

Summize contract intelligence implementation and adoption

Automation, but never at the expense of human thinking.

Technology is powerful, but it should never come at the expense of human support. We believe great customer experience matters just as much as great tech. We work closely with our customers to make implementation smoother, adoption faster, and day-to-day 
running a breeze.

The more you use it, the more powerful it gets.

Every contract processed, every playbook added, every question answered makes the system smarter. Summize’s Knowledge Base lives and grows with you, getting more valuable over time.
