AI Assist Add-On

AI capabilities are sold as a separate add-on rather than included in base plans. The AI feature currently lacks intelligent retrieval capabilities for finding data from repositories.

We were able to reduce on renewal costs by 17% by adding AI Assist and leaning on our strict budgetary requirements.

vendr

Ironclad's AI feature is absent an intelligent retrieval feature, making it less than an ideal fit for small legal teams looking for artificial assistance with managing and finding data quickly from a repository.
