Don't rewrite.
Just tell the AI
what to change.
Generated a contract and want to soften a clause? Add a pet section to your lease? Make the late-fee language stronger? Just type what you want changed — AI Edit handles the legal language, keeps the formatting, and shows you the diff before applying.
Section 5 — Late Fees
If Tenant fails to pay rent by the 5th of the month, a late fee of $50 shall apply.

Templates get you 90% there.
The other 10% is where you used to give up.
Every contract has things you'd want to change after you generate it. Without AI Edit, you either ignore the issue, copy-paste into Word, or rewrite from scratch.
"This clause is too aggressive"
The default termination clause assumes adversarial parties. You want something friendlier for a tenant you trust. Templates don't know your relationship.
"I need a clause that's not in this template"
Pet policy in a lease that didn't include one. A non-compete tail in an employment agreement. A specific carve-out the form doesn't have. The template can't anticipate every situation.
"This reads like a lawyer wrote it"
Sometimes you want plain English. The other party will glaze over the legalese, and you'd rather have a clean document everyone actually reads.
Three steps. Less than 30 seconds.
Generate the document
Start from one of 800+ templates or use AI Draft to generate a custom contract. Your document opens in the editor.
Tell the AI what to change
Click any section or open the AI Edit panel. Type the change in plain English — describe the outcome, not the legal language. AI handles the wording.
Review the diff, accept or revise
AI shows you exactly what's changing — additions in green, removals in red. Accept it, ask for a revision (“make the deposit refundable”), or undo. Every edit costs 1 credit.
What people actually ask AI Edit to do.
Drawn from common edit patterns across our document library. Each is a single AI Edit prompt — 1 credit each.

1 credit per edit. Same credits as AI Draft.
Every paid plan includes 1,000 AI credits per month. AI Edit and AI Draft pull from the same pool — you don't have to choose between them.
That's roughly 1,000 edits per month at the typical rate. Most users use 50–200 credits/month across both features. Failed AI generations are auto-refunded — you only pay for what works.
If you ever hit the cap, top-up packs let you keep working without bumping to a higher plan. Credit packs never expire.

FAQ.
Can I edit a contract I didn't generate in DocsGenie?
Not yet. AI Edit currently only works on documents you created inside DocsGenie — either from one of our 800+ templates or via AI Draft. We need our own document structure to make accurate edits without breaking formatting or introducing contradictions.
If you have a contract from somewhere else and want to use AI Edit, the workaround is: use AI Draft to generate an equivalent document inside DocsGenie (most contracts can be reconstructed from a one-paragraph description in 2 minutes), then edit from there.
Editing externally-created documents is on our public roadmap — vote for it if you want it prioritized.
What kinds of edits can AI Edit handle?
Most things you'd describe to a paralegal in plain English. Adding clauses (pet policies, non-competes, force majeure, IP carve-outs). Strengthening or softening language (more/less aggressive penalty terms, friendlier/firmer tone). Changing specific terms (dollar amounts, dates, durations, party names, jurisdiction). Translating legalese into plain English while keeping the legal substance. Reorganizing sections for flow.
What it can't reliably do: create entirely new document types (use AI Draft instead), make legal judgment calls for high-stakes decisions, or add jurisdiction-specific compliance the underlying template doesn't already cover.
How do I know AI Edit didn't break something else in the document?
Three protections: First, every edit shows you a diff before applying — additions in green, removals in red. You see exactly what's changing.
Second, AI Edit preserves cross-references — if you change a defined term in section 3, references to that term in sections 7 and 14 update too. If a section number shifts because something was added, all internal references re-number automatically.
Third, every document keeps a version history. If anything looks off after an edit, you can revert to any previous version with one click. No data lost.
What's the difference between AI Edit and just manually editing?
You can absolutely manually edit any document in DocsGenie — just type. Manual editing is free and unlimited. AI Edit is for when you want the AI to handle the legal language for you, especially when:
• You don't know the right legal phrasing for what you want.
• The change touches multiple sections that need to stay consistent.
• You want to translate legalese into plain English.
• You want a clause added that requires legal know-how to draft well.
Use whichever fits the moment. Most users mix both — manual edits for typos and small changes, AI Edit for clause-level work.
What happens if AI Edit gets it wrong?
You see the diff before applying, so most “wrong” edits get rejected before they touch the document. If you accept an edit and don't like the result, you can revert via the version history (free, unlimited) or ask AI to revise it (“actually, make the deposit refundable”).
If an AI edit clearly fails — generation errors out, returns garbage, doesn't apply — the credit is auto-refunded. You don't need to email us about it.
For genuinely high-stakes documents (anything involving real estate, business sales, contested family matters), we recommend attorney review regardless of how the document was drafted or edited. AI is a tool, not a lawyer.
Is AI Edit included in the $1 trial?
Yes. The 7-day $1 trial includes the full 1,000-credit allowance, usable on AI Edit, AI Draft, or both. Generate a contract, refine it with AI Edit, see if the workflow works for you. If it doesn't, cancel in 2 clicks via Stripe — we email you 48 hours before the trial converts.
Is my data used to train AI?
No. Your documents and AI Edit prompts go through Anthropic's API, which doesn't retain or train on your inputs. We don't store edit prompts beyond what's needed to show you version history. Full details in our Privacy Policy.
