Contract intelligence and AI led execution across the full contract lifecycle. From the first draft to the last obligation closed, the agents review contracts against your playbooks, extract and assign obligations, screen for compliance and track fulfillment, with a complete audit trail. Definition ## What is the Aavenir Intelligence Platform? The Aavenir Intelligence Platform is the AI layer built into every Aavenir app: Aavenir AI agents that read contracts and supplier documents, propose an action, and wait for a person to approve it, with both logged on the record. There is no separate AI platform to deploy. On ServiceNow the agents run inside the Aavenir apps in your instance, and standalone customers get the same agents. Aavenir's [security commitments](https://aavenir.com/security/) state that customer contract data is never used to train external models. - Contract review against your playbook, with risk scored by severity and approved alternatives suggested - Extraction of terms and obligations, assigned to owners - Compliance screening of contracts against a policy - Bid scoring and award recommendations in sourcing - Document screening in onboarding and invoice verification in AP Our customers ## Procurement, legal, IT, finance, and sales teams run their contracts on Aavenir.

Each agent does one job, and each ends with a person's approval. ### Contract extraction Digitizes and structures contract data from any format, including PDFs, scans and legacy agreements, so historical contracts become searchable and usable. [AI extraction](https://aavenir.com/platform/ai-contract-extraction/) ### Contract summarization Writes a short, plain language summary of a complex agreement, so stakeholders know what they signed without reading every page. ### Contract interrogation Answers plain English questions about contracts for legal, procurement, sales and finance, and cites the clause behind each answer. [AI contract search](https://aavenir.com/platform/ai-contract-search/) ### Review and surgical redlining Flags clause deviations and missing terms, scores risk by severity and turns your pre approved alternatives into precise redlines in the draft. [Contract review](https://aavenir.com/solutions/contract-review/) ### Compliance screening Checks contracts against regulatory requirements and internal policy before execution, so gaps are caught before they become legal or financial exposure. [ComplianceNext](https://aavenir.com/solutions/compliancenext/) ### Obligation management Finds every commitment in a signed agreement, rewrites it as plain fulfillment steps and tracks completion, so nothing slips after signature. [Obligationflow](https://aavenir.com/solutions/contract-obligation-management-software/) Assist or execute ## Most contract AI suggests. Aavenir AI agents do the work, and a person approves. ### Traditional contract AI assists - × Surfaces recommendations for someone to act on - × Flags risks and leaves the follow up to the team - × Generates summaries, one document at a time ### Aavenir AI agents execute - Carry out tasks inside the workflow, within the limits you set - Decide within defined parameters and route the exceptions - Complete multi step contract and obligation work end to end, with an audit trail Contract review with AI agents ## Six steps between a draft and a clean, approved contract. ### 1. Clause extraction and compare Each clause is pulled out and compared with the matching clause in your playbook. ### 2. Deviation scoring Every difference gets a risk score by severity, so reviewers start with what matters. ### 3. Clause generation Where a term is missing or off standard, Aavenir AI drafts your approved language. ### 4. Clause simplification Dense legal wording is restated in plain language for the business owner. ### 5. Surgical redlining Approved alternatives go into the draft as precise redlines, not a rewrite. ### 6. Obligation identification Commitments are flagged before signature, ready to track once the contract is executed. Obligation intelligence ## From buried commitments to tracked, verified and closed obligations. The teams that fulfill obligations are often not the ones who negotiated them. Obligationflow turns legal language into actions operational teams can carry out. ### Obligation extraction Identifies and structures every commitment in executed agreements, whatever their format, length or complexity. ### Classification and assignment Sorts obligations by type, frequency and trigger event, and routes each one to the person responsible. ### Fulfillment instructions Rewrites each obligation as clear, step by step requirements for the team that has to meet it. ### Completion verification and closure Reviews proof of performance against the requirement, writes a closure summary and closes it with an audit trail. Sourcing, onboarding and invoices ## The same agents, in every procurement workflow. ### Strategic sourcing Scores supplier responses against your criteria with a rationale for each score, summarizes the top bids and benchmarks pricing against past rounds before award. [RFPflow](https://aavenir.com/solutions/rfp-management-software/) ### Vendor onboarding Runs sanctions and adverse media screening, fills due diligence questionnaires from existing data and checks vendor documents against policy before approval. [Onboardingflow](https://aavenir.com/solutions/vendor-onboarding-software/) ### Invoice processing Captures invoice data from any format, checks each invoice against its contract and purchase order, and flags price, quantity, tax and contract discrepancies. [Invoiceflow](https://aavenir.com/solutions/accounts-payable-automation/) Built in, not added on ## No separate AI layer. No extra platform to deploy. Many contract AI tools run outside the systems where legal, procurement, finance and compliance teams work. The Aavenir Intelligence Platform runs inside the Aavenir apps themselves. ### Embedded in the workflow Contract, obligation and procurement intelligence sits inside the apps teams use, not in a standalone copilot to manage. ### Pre integrated across the suite Works across Contractflow, Obligationflow, RFPflow, Onboardingflow and Invoiceflow from day one, without separate deployments. ### Governance controls Review, assignment and evaluation follow role based access, workflow permissions and a visible audit trail. ### Security standards Aavenir is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and SOC 2 Type II compliant, and contract data stays in your governed environment. [Security](https://aavenir.com/security/) ### No AI infrastructure to run No separate AI tooling, prompt management systems or extra contract platform to maintain. ## Every contract on one portfolio view Portfolio view with demo data and fictional suppliers. Governance ## AI you can explain to an auditor. One rule covers most of the risk: no AI result changes a record until a named person approves it, and both are logged. ### Accuracy Extraction and review are probabilistic, so every result has a confirmation step, and early output is worth sample checking by hand. ### Data handling Customer contract data is never used to train external models. Access is role based, with SSO through OAuth 2.0 and SAML. ### Audit Each AI result sits next to the human decision on it, with the time and the person, on the same record.

No. The platform is the AI built into every Aavenir app, pre-integrated with Contractflow, Obligationflow, RFPflow, Onboardingflow and Invoiceflow. There is no separate AI platform to deploy, and each module uses the agents relevant to its stage. [See the contract suite](https://aavenir.com/solutions/aavenir-contract-suite/). ### ### Is our contract data used to train AI models? No. Aavenir's responsible AI commitments state that customer contract data is never used to train external models. Access follows role based permissions, every AI result is logged with the human decision on it, and data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2 or higher in transit. [Read about security](https://aavenir.com/security/). ### ### What does the AI do in each Aavenir module? In RFPflow it scores bids and recommends awards. In Onboardingflow it screens supplier documents. In Contractflow it reviews clauses and extracts terms. In Obligationflow it checks evidence against obligations. In Invoiceflow it verifies invoices against contract terms. A person approves each result. [Meet Avy](https://aavenir.com/platform/avy-ai-assistant/). Have a question we have not answered?
