Law firms and legal departments using document automation automate only a fraction of their documents.  

Results from our 2024 Document Automation Survey revealed that on average, law firms have automated just 6% of their total precedents. 

Let's be honest: automating can be hard. Marking up a document for automation is time-consuming. Teams are short-staffed, and lengthy documents take even longer to automate.  

We like saying that we’re experts in making the complex, simple. 

We designed Avvoka to simplify contract automation with a no-code, user-friendly interface.  

With SmartAutomation, we aimed to make it even more effortless— to use a driving analogy, think of it as transitioning  to a self-driving car. 

Like a self-driving car, we wondered if Avvoka could have its own autopilot and could automate your precedents without you having to apply a single condition manually on the platform? That’s how our SmartAutomation came to be.  

What is SmartAutomation?

Think of it as self-driving for document automation. Our technology can turn your precedent into an automated template in Avvoka by identifying variables and conditions automatically for you, eliminating the need for you to manually apply the logic on our platform. 

How does this work? 

Simply upload your marked-up precedent into Avvoka and select "SmartAutomation." Avvoka can identify variables, conditions, and definitions all on its own.

Click 'Automate,' and Avvoka will instantly highlight all relevant elements in your contract. In the example, our technology has highlighted data points for variables like 'Partner’s Name' or 'Partner’s Address.' 

Additionally, Avvoka can recognise conditions, such as paragraphs, clauses, sentences, or words that will be included or excluded in the final draft based on your responses to specific questions. 

It's important to note that, while impressive, this feature doesn't have to use AI (more on that, later!). Instead, it relies on Avvoka's proprietary algorithms to detect your variables and conditions and transfer them into the platform, building on years of seeing lots of automated documents! 

Avvoka will automatically generate the questions for you, and with our built-in AI drafting feature, you can also modify them as you see fit. 

With SmartAutomation, our clients are dramatically reducing the time needed to automate complex templates.  

Imagine you have a deal document that you worked on last month, that’s “almost” perfect for a new transaction but, it’s not a precedent and doesn’t have variables and is still full of that last deal’s data

Well, our SmartAutomation leverages the power of GenAI to redact the specific deal details and transform it into an Avvoka template for you

How it works

The process is straightforward: upload your contract to Avvoka, choose our advanced SmartAutomation feature, and let our GenAI handle the rest.

This advanced SmartAutomation features uses GenAI to recognise the parts of the document that should be variables and automatically convert them into data points. 

Avvoka also generates a questionnaire for you, which you can modify using the GenAI, after. Your contract is marked up and automated within seconds. Upload, click, done. Self-driving document automation. 

Integrations

Our advanced SmartAutomation feature leverages OpenAI’s ChatGPT, but through our API, it is possible to integrate your own models into our document automation platform.  

You can plug in your own AI model and leverage our SmartAutomation without limits.

Avvoka's SmartAutomation is particularly valuable if you need to automate lengthy or complex templates that would otherwise require extensive manual effort. They're also ideal when you need to automate multiple documents quickly.
