ClauseBuddy

Conditional rows, columns and sections (Smart Templates)

New feature ClauseBuddy now supports conditional rows, columns and sections in an MS Word file. This is a major upgrade to the conditionality system for Smart Templates, as it allows a new level of expressiveness in legal documents.

LLMs

Multiple LLMs supported

New feature ClauseBuddy & Clause9 now support multiple Large Language Models (LLMs).

• The availability and priority of the LLMs can be configured by the administrator.

• The generation of tokens can be interrupted through "stop" buttons in the user interface.

• Claude3 & Mistral were added as options

Q&A

Increased save delays

As our users are increasingly creating heavy Word-documents (particularly in ClauseBuddy), a slow transfer speed from ClauseBuddy/Clause9 to the server could sometimes cause a save error.

We have therefore increased the save delay to 30 seconds.

Better comparison of tables

When asking for a real-time comparison between the previous and current version of a document (by alt-clicking or choosing "Show last changes), table rows are now also compared with each other. Previously, tables were considered as a whole in the comparison functionality, so that even a tiny change in one row would cause the entire table to be marked as being changed.

Search

Small optimisations

Conversion to vectors: The conversion of text to semantic "vectors" (as used in the background for clauses & truffles) is now improved for situatinos where words are present in multiple languages.

Cut-off point & amount of results: Small optimisations were made to how Truffles are being searched, e.g. the cut-off point was relaxed.

Improved ranking of AutoSuggest results in ClauseBuddy.

Administration

Personal search folders

When editing user settings, administrators will now see an option to add a personal search folder for a user. (Previously, this needed to be manually achieved through the Search folders panel of Clause9.)

Single Sign On

SSO for ClauseBuddy is now also working with the Microsoft MyApps dashboard (and similar launching apps for SSO). Users can now click on such a link, authentica and retrieve access through the browser.
