Product Walkthrough: Qanooni AI Contract Drafting Word Plugin
AI contract drafting in Word is no longer a future idea. Lawyers spend most of their working day in Microsoft Word, and Qanooni's AI contract drafting Word plugin brings automation directly into that environment. The hype says you need to move to a new platform. The reality is simpler: Qanooni meets lawyers where they already work.
Why this matters
Most generic AI tools force lawyers into new platforms, breaking established workflows and raising data concerns. Without Qanooni, drafting in Word means manually hunting for precedents, retyping clauses, and spending hours reconciling numbering and definitions. Reviews require line-by-line checks, amendments demand manual edits across pages, and quick research means switching out to external databases.
Qanooni changes that by embedding directly in Word. Drafting time is cut by up to 50%, reviews run 2.5x faster, and lawyers save 6–8 hours per week: all without leaving their core tool. Clients gain confidence because contracts never leave Microsoft 365, and every flag or suggestion is grounded in authority and playbooks. Qanooni doesn't disrupt workflows; it strengthens them.
Step-by-step walkthrough: Qanooni in Word
Install the plugin: Available via Microsoft AppSource. Installation takes minutes, and Qanooni appears as a ribbon in Word.
Open your contract: Launch Word, open any draft, and see Qanooni's side panel: Draft, Review, Amend, and QCounsel.
Draft in your firm's voice: Provide matter instructions (jurisdiction, governing law, contract type). Qanooni selects the precedent, applies your playbook, and generates a draft in your numbering and definitions.
Review clause by clause: Click Review. Clauses are flagged as Acceptable, Non-standard, Missing, or Unacceptable with reasoning and citations.
Amend consistently: Click Amend to change liability caps, update names, or reformat across an entire document. Qanooni ensures consistency with your style guide.
Ask QCounsel: Need research mid-draft? Ask a question and get an answer grounded in legal authority databases and your firm's knowledge base, with citations displayed.

UK and UAE firms

In the UAE, where DIFC and ADGM rules align with GDPR, Qanooni keeps contracts in Microsoft's UAE data centres and aligns Arabic–English drafting for enforceability. This reduces compliance risks highlighted in Gulf News reporting on UAE contract disputes.
