Core Capabilities of Gavel include:
AI Legal Assistant (Gavel Exec)
Gavel Exec is a generative AI-powered platform designed to support legal professionals in document review, drafting, and analysis. It leverages proprietary AI agents that assess the full context of a document—including reference files, guidelines, and past user behavior—before taking action. Key features include redlining documents against internal benchmarks or uploaded references, drafting and revising clauses with domain-specific precision, and a contextual chat function for in-depth document inquiries. Users can also create customizable playbooks to apply consistent rule sets across similar documents, enhancing efficiency and standardization throughout the negotiation process.
Word Document Automation
Gavel's Word Document Automation feature enables legal professionals to transform Microsoft Word templates into automated workflows, streamlining the document creation process. Users can apply complex conditional logic, calculations, and formatting to generate customized documents based on client input. The platform includes a no-code Word add-in, allowing for the insertion of variables and conditional phrases directly into documents without requiring programming knowledge . Additionally, Gavel's AI-powered Blueprint tool assists in converting existing Word documents into structured workflows by suggesting custom questions and automating the tagging process . This functionality aims to reduce drafting time and minimize errors in legal document preparation.
PDF Document Automation
Gavel's PDF Automation feature allows users to populate and generate customized PDF documents through automated workflows. It supports inserting conditional logic, calculations, and dynamic data into fillable and non-fillable PDFs. Users can map inputs from client-facing forms directly to specific fields in the PDF, enabling consistent and accurate document generation. The feature also integrates with data collection tools, making it suitable for automating standardized legal forms and repetitive processes.
Templates
Gavel Blueprint is an AI-enabled workflow builder that allows legal professionals to automate document templates by uploading existing Word or fillable PDF files. Upon upload, Blueprint analyzes the documents and suggests custom questions to create a structured questionnaire, which populates the original templates . Users can review and modify the suggested variables and questions before finalizing the workflow . This process facilitates the rapid creation of automated workflows tailored to specific legal practices, enhancing efficiency and consistency in document generation
Pre-Built Court Forms
Gavel's Prebuilt Court Forms, also known as No-Setup Automated Forms, are ready-made document workflows designed to streamline legal document generation without requiring any initial setup. These forms encompass areas such as California family law, probate, and estate planning, and are expanding to include additional jurisdictions and practice areas. Each workflow includes a dynamic questionnaire that, once completed, automatically populates the corresponding legal documents, reducing manual entry and potential errors. While these forms are optimized for immediate use, users have the option to customize them as needed. Access to these prebuilt forms is available to users with a Gavel Pro or Scale subscription.
Legal Commerce Tools
Gavel's Legal Commerce tools enable legal professionals to offer and monetize online legal services by transforming traditional legal offerings into digital products. Users can bundle automated workflows into client-facing applications, which can be shared via direct links or embedded into websites. The platform integrates with Stripe for secure, compliant payment processing, allowing firms to set pricing and manage transactions seamlessly. Additionally, Gavel supports custom branding, enabling firms to personalize their digital services with logos and messaging. These features collectively facilitate the expansion of legal services into scalable, online offerings.
Gavel was formerly known as Documate and rebranded in 2023.
