## New "Similar Clauses" module

<mark style="background-color:orange;">Major update</mark> The old "AutoSuggest" module has been rebranded to "Similar Clauses". It's not only completely rebuilt from scratch, but also significantly extended.&#x20;

The new module hosts several new options (*please experiment with the Options dropdown button!*) and now features two very different modes:&#x20;

#### 1. Search for alternative clause

This mode is similar to the old "AutoSuggest". Essentially, ClauseBuddy will find clauses that deal with a similar subject, or have similar content, as the clause you have currently selected in MS Word.&#x20;

As was the case with the old AutoSuggest, the typical use case is to **find inspiration** (e.g., during drafting or while negotiating) and quickly insert a new clause into your opened DOCX-document.&#x20;

#### 2. Search for identical clauses

In this mode, ClauseBuddy will search for clauses that are **as identical as possible** to the clause you've currently selected in MS Word. Up to 10 clauses will be returned, from either the Quality Library or the Truffle Hunt module.

The typical use case is for **compliance tasks,** to check whether you've written a certain clause (or some text very similar to it) in the past. In this mode, ClauseBuddy will also immediately show you the comparison with all the differences (if any) to the currently selected text.

## New Proofreading module

<mark style="background-color:orange;">Major update</mark> The Proofreading module has also been significantly changed.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://1414353930-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fc1g6bv00az2hAVxclF4w%2Fuploads%2FgTYrVlo6QOOwGsksb95u%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=46c460e5-7c59-4ac9-a80b-d8bd6b4b4a00" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The **user interface** has been redesigned, to provide a cleanear separation between the various sub-modules.&#x20;

The **definitions** checker now also involves Generative AI after the standard check. This combines the best of both worlds: ClauseBuddy first performs a standard check (very fast and exhaustive, but with some false negatives due to superficial intelligence), and then submits the results to a Large Language Model (slower, but smarter). Due to the fusion of both checks, ClauseBuddy can quickly and more accurately check very long documents.&#x20;

Two **additional checks** are done, and more are on the way!&#x20;

Errors in **number expansions to letters** — e.g. 5 (six) — are now flagged.&#x20;

**Wrong weekdays** are flagged (e.g., 14th September 2025 is a Sunday instead of a Sunday).
