Agiloft reports surge in AI uptake for contract tools

Agiloft has announced that more than half of its customers now licence its AI functionality, as usage of its Screens interface rises across contract review and negotiation workflows.

The contract lifecycle management (CLM) vendor reported increasing adoption of AI tools across its platform, highlighting a particular uplift in the use of screens, its "experience layer" designed for contract review. The company linked these latest figures to the period following KKR's strategic investment.

Agiloft said that, since December 2024, Screens recorded a 250 percent increase in AI user growth and a 12x increase in overall application usage as of November 2025. It also reported a 68 percent expansion in its community-driven playbooks ecosystem over the same period.

Agiloft measured the AI licensing milestone by annual recurring revenue. The company said more than 50 percent of its total customer base, on that basis, now licenses its AI functionality.

Agiloft described a shift in how customers use Screens playbooks. It said the most frequently used playbooks in November 2025 focused on Non-Disclosure Agreements, service agreements for procurement of professional services, and master service agreements for business services and consulting. It contrasted that with December 2024, when it said the most popular Screens emphasised GDPR guidance, AI vendor fundamentals, and sample standards.

"AI is fundamentally changing how organizations interact with their contracts," said Eric Laughlin, CEO, Agiloft.

"AI is becoming a business-critical capability that drives growth, reduces risk and creates measurable value across Legal, Procurement, and Sales teams," said Laughlin.

"The rapid adoption we are seeing across our AI platform and Screens shows that enterprises are ready to operate at the speed of AI, and those that embrace this shift are positioning themselves for long-term competitive advantage," said Laughlin.

Product Details

Agiloft said Screens functions as a no-code playbook builder for legal teams. The company said teams can create customised playbooks that assess incoming contracts against internal standards. Agiloft said the product provides generative AI redline suggestions directly within Microsoft Word.

Agiloft also said Screens draws on a global community of legal professionals who share pre-built playbooks for contract types including SaaS agreements and NDAs. The company said it provides market data on clause "pass/fail" rates.

Agiloft described its broader approach as "AI on the inside". It said it embeds AI and automation into its core contract lifecycle management platform. Agiloft said the platform covers stages including automated data extraction, AI-enhanced redlining via Screens, and conversational repository searches with Ask AI.

The company also described a "white box AI" approach. It said the system links every AI suggestion back to the original text. It also said experts can tailor AI-powered workflows to specific needs.

Customer Claims

Agiloft said customers using its AI on the inside and Ask AI report up to a 25 percent reduction in overall risk. The company attributed this to insight into contract language obligations. Agiloft also said customers reported over a 40 percent reduction in manual contracting work.

"Agiloft Screens stood out to us as one of the most powerful tools on the market for automated first-line contract review," said Rémy Bonnaffé, CEO and Co-Founder, AskQ.

"By using playbooks to codify our expertise, Screens gives us a clear, actionable checklist and has helped us cut contract review time by 50 percent or more," said Bonnaffé.

"We use it both internally and with clients because it is a gamechanger for scaling legal teams," said Bonnaffé.

One analyst said contract management sits among the stronger application areas for AI in business operations.

"Contract management is one of the best "value for money" use cases of AI," said Andrew Dailey.

"Increasing legal productivity is one benefit and making it easier for users across the organization to create, edit, and close legal agreements within prescribed guardrails is another major benefit," said Dailey.

Product Direction

Agiloft said it continues to expand product development around AI-driven contract lifecycle management. The company also pointed to its stated long-term direction for "autonomous contracting".

"Agiloft will pioneer the next era of CLM by transforming it from a system of record into a system of autonomous action," said Andy Wishart, Chief Product Officer, Agiloft.

"For Legal, Procurement, Sales and Finance teams worldwide, this transformation represents a breakthrough opportunity to turn contracting processes and data into powerful business value drivers," said Wishart.
