Lexion Launches Stand-Alone Version of ‘AI Contract Assist,’ Expanding Gen-AI Powered Contract Review to a Broader Audience
SEATTLE, February 15, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Today Lexion, the AI-powered contract management and operations workflow platform, introduced a new stand-alone suite of tools to transform the way businesses manage contracts. AI Contract Assist substantially reduces the time legal professionals spend on repetitive contract review and management tasks, and accelerates redlining and drafting with a GPT-powered legal copilot that puts the power of generative AI inside Microsoft Word.
Initially launched in 2022, Lexion’s AI Contract Assist was the first GenAI-driven legal tech software available in the market. While these features were previously available to users of Lexion's end-to-end CLM platform, they are now available to anybody who deals with contracts.
AI Contract Assist offers four distinct contracting features:
- Review: Accelerates contract review by checking your contracts against predefined rules and playbooks. AI Contract Assist comes pre-loaded with five industry standard playbooks for common contract types, which can be easily edited, or new rules can be added from scratch. AI Contract Assist flags contract language that needs your attention and suggests redlines to bring it back into compliance.
- Ask: AI Contract Assist allows you to ask questions – in colloquial language – and get detailed, customized answers specifically relating to your contracts.
- Modify: AI Contract Assist generates redline recommendations based on your requests, to any language you select.
- Add: AI Contract Assist generates new clauses from scratch, so you never have to start from a blank page again.
AI Contract Assist was specifically designed to address the most prominent pain points identified by hundreds of legal professionals in Lexion’s recent ‘The Current State of Legal Tech’ survey. Half or more of respondents indicated that ‘removing repetitive tasks,’ ‘completing work more quickly and efficiently,’ and ‘improving work product consistency’ are specific benefits that legal departments expect from using AI software going forward. AI Contract Assist’s features deliver against all three areas.
“Our team of attorneys and contract managers used to spend too much time on trivial tasks,” said Vi Duong, Vice President of Legal at Adswerve, Inc. “Lexion’s AI Contract Assist is leading the curve in terms of cutting-edge AI innovation; it’s head-and-shoulders above other platforms because it meets our attorneys and contract managers where they are today, using tools that they’re already familiar with. By integrating seamlessly into Microsoft Word, the learning curve is negligible while the time it saves us on tasks related to contract review is substantial.”
“We regularly engage with thousands of attorneys who work in dozens of different industries, from retail to healthcare to biotech,” said Emad Elwany, CTO and co-founder, Lexion. “Yet they all share common complaints when it comes to contract review. AI Contract Assist alleviates these pain points by handling many of the tasks typically assigned to junior legal professionals. Leveraging Lexion’s award-winning AI, AI Contract Assist is a significant advancement that frees up legal professionals to focus on higher-level tasks while still negotiating the best contracts in a fraction of the time – and we’re thrilled to make it available as a stand-alone.”
In addition to making AI-powered contract review available to more legal professionals, Lexion’s stand-alone AI Contract Assist also offers an easy path to incorporate the full power of Lexion’s CLM later, should they need a platform to handle end-to-end contracting.

‘SUITX by Ottobock’ Sets New Standards in Exoskeleton Technology
EMERYVILLE, Calif., October 12, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Today "SUITX by Ottobock" launches the IX BACK AIR exoskeleton: The new back-support exoskeleton combines the power of rigid systems with the comfort of soft models. This makes it the exoskeleton to be used across the board in the logistics industry.
With the IX BACK AIR, the new "SUITX by Ottobock" business unit also presents itself for the first time under the corresponding umbrella brand. "We are combining the innovative strength of both companies, both structurally and in terms of our brand, in order to further expand our market leadership," explains Martin Böhm, Chief Experience Officer at Ottobock. "With this step, we are strengthening our exoskeleton business worldwide, especially in the core market of the United States. More than 2,000 customers are already using the solutions from 'SUITX by Ottobock', including leading automotive manufacturers such as Toyota North America and logistics service providers such as DB Schenker. We will actively shape the working environment of the future and provide sustainable relief for people with physically demanding jobs."
Exoskeletons for more health-oriented and efficient logistics
In the logistics industry, employees are exposed to particularly high levels of physical stress, such as lifting and carrying bulky or heavy loads. This stress often causes musculoskeletal disorders such as back problems, thereby leading to sick leave and high associated costs. Exoskeletons are a key to overcoming these challenges: They significantly relieve the physical strain during heavy work, boost motivation and reduce costs by increasing the number of productive days.
"The new IX BACK AIR is a groundbreaking technology for the widespread use of exoskeletons in logistics," says Samuel Reimer, Managing Director of SUITX by Ottobock North America. "Some companies in the industry are already using exoskeletons, but most are still in the testing phase. The daily application under changing working conditions still poses a challenge for many companies, but now we have come up with a suitable solution in cooperation with our stakeholders."
A significant relief for the lower back
In cooperation with logistics partners, SUITX by Ottobock has further developed the successful BackX exoskeleton. The successor model IX BACK AIR is more effective, comfortable and lighter. It reduces the load on the lower back by up to 56% without compressing the spine, as studies[1] with the BackX have shown.
The back-support exoskeleton is specifically designed for people involved in dynamic work processes in the logistics industry who have to move loads manually while operating industrial trucks, for example. A built-in mode automatically detects when the wearer needs support and when they need freedom of movement. Due to its reduced and ergonomic design, the IX BACK AIR is also ideally suited for working in confined spaces, for example inside a container.
Powerful and comfortable
Weighing just under 7lb, the new back-support exoskeleton is particularly light and comfortable. Its innovative technology redistributes forces in the body, storing and releasing them as needed. By using the body's own energy, the exoskeleton can be worn all day without the need for batteries.
The IX BACK AIR can be put on and taken off in less than 20 seconds. It can be easily adapted to different user heights ("one size fits all") and is particularly comfortable. The exoskeleton has intuitive closures and removable pads as well as reflectors for improved user visibility. Thanks to its slim and body-hugging design, the IX BACK AIR can also be worn under safety vests.
The new exoskeleton for the logistics industry will be commercially available worldwide from October 9, 2023. The IX BACK AIR can be tested in the working environment as part of the company’s discovery program (from USD 2,990). Ergonomics experts from SUITX by Ottobock will accompany the test phase from training to evaluation. The team will present its exoskeleton product range at the ErgoX Symposium in Washington, D.C., on October 23, 2023.

About "SUITX by Ottobock"
Since 2012, SUITX has been developing body-worn support structures, so-called "wearables", to facilitate the everyday work of people performing physical labor. SUITX originated from the Robotics and Human Engineering Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley. The founding team included Dr. Homayoon Kazerooni, Professor for Mechanical Engineering and exoskeleton visionary.
At the end of 2021, Ottobock and SUITX joined forces to develop groundbreaking exoskeletons under the name "SUITX by Ottobock". These exoskeletons are highly efficient and very light, preventing musculoskeletal disorders caused by heavy physical work.
Ottobock has more than 100 years of experience in orthopaedic technology and brings invaluable expertise in biomechanics to the table. With over 9,000 employees worldwide, the health technology company empowers people in 135 countries to live their lives to the fullest.
