## The announcement

McKINNEY, Texas, August 10, 2023. Aavenir announced a new Contractflow release with generative AI capabilities that speed up contract review and negotiation.
Built on Aavenir’s own large language models and conversational AI, the release adds automated clause deviation detection, deviation scoring and clause recommendations to manage contract risk. Legal and procurement teams can fix clauses with small deviations themselves, focus negotiation on clauses with large deviations and send critical clauses to legal for specialist review.

## How clause deviation works

While a contract is being reviewed or negotiated in Contractflow, the new capabilities detect clause variations against the legal approved clause library, contracts in the repository and earlier versions of the same contract. The interface summarizes alternate clauses with deviation scores and lets contract managers replace highly deviant clauses with suggested best fit clauses.
Combined with ServiceNow workflows and Aavenir’s clause level approvals, teams can manage batches of deviating clauses across reviewers much more simply. The release builds on AI features already in wide use, including clause and obligation extraction and natural language contract search.

## What the leaders said

Jesal Mehta, CEO and Founder of Aavenir, said Aavenir’s own large language model, fine tuned for contract management, would open the way to use cases such as contract generation, risk detection and recommendation, and automatic redlining, and that enriching it with data from connected ServiceNow source to pay, governance, risk and compliance, and legal service delivery solutions would make a major difference for procurement, legal and IT teams.
“Our Generative AI capabilities are far more advanced and extensively trained to provide clause deviation results based on actual meaning and intent, and not just structural composition. Aavenir’s models and solutions ensure adherence to data protection agreements we have with our customers and adherence to ServiceNow’s security and privacy requirements, which makes it far more secure and reliable than publicly available generative AI solutions,” added Sunil Masand, Senior Vice President of Products.

## These capabilities today

Clause deviation review is now part of Avy in [Contractflow](https://aavenir.com/solutions/enterprise-contract-management-software/). Avy compares each clause with your playbook and drafts fallback language, and a person approves every result. Customer contract data is never used to train external models.
