Automatic Q&A preparation

New feature In ClauseBuddy, administrators can automatically "prepare" the active Word-document for use as a Smart Template. For example, paragraphs such as the following...

... would be automatically replaced as follows:

This major new feature shows up as an extra element in the Create new template dropdown, assuming the end-user has the right to create new Smart Templates and has the right to use LLMs. (The LLM module that is used, is "Document analysis").

What happens under the hood, is that the LLM receives a copy of the active Word-document, and tries to detect relevant text sections that should be replaced by cyan-highlighted placeholders. These cyan placeholders can then, in a next phase, be used for creating questions in the Q&A.

Note that this feature may also having interesting use-cases outside of Q&A preparation, as the document is automatically anonymized in a fairly smart way.

Default user preferences

New feature In both ClauseBuddy and Clause9, administrators now have a "New user defaults", which allows them to set the default settings for several individual user preferences (software language, content languages & currencies ordering, which elements must be inserted upon paste, whether personal search folders must be created, etc.)

Instead of merely setting the defaults for new users, administrators can also remove all current preferences of all existing users, by pressing the "Save for all users" button.

Administrators can also configure all those preferences per individual account.

LLM-assisted Q&A answers completion

New feature In both ClauseBuddy and Clause9, users can now paste text that will be used by an LLM to auto-fill the answers of the Q&A.

For example, if a lawyer would get an email describing the type of license agreement that must be drafted, then she can copy/paste the relevant part of that email and automatically have (a subselection of the Q&A's) questions be completed using that information

Note: the end-user must have the "Fill answers with AI" right enabled (not enabled by default), otherwise this button will not show up. The relevant LLM module is "clause analysis".

Upgrade notice

Before the ClauseBase platform is updated (typically on a Saturday or Sunday morning in the CE(S)T timezone), a warning will be displayed that a server update is imminent.

After the update (which typically takes about one minute) users will see a banner inviting them to reload Clause9 or ClauseBuddy.
