'LegalOn' (https://www.legalontech.com/jp/?utm_source=pr&utm_medium=release&utm_campaign=pr_release_20260402), provided by LegalOn Technologies, Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative: Representative Director, Executive Officer & Group CEO Nozomu Tsunoda, hereafter: LegalOn Technologies), is now equipped with a feature that can autonomously draft contracts simply by instructing the legal-specific AI agent 'LegalOn Assistant'. This feature is available in both Microsoft Word (browser version/desktop version) and streamlines the entire contract drafting process.

■ Development Background In traditional legal operations, creating a new contract required spending a lot of time selecting an appropriate template and transcribing basic information such as business partner details, amounts, and periods. In addition, there were challenges in both efficiency and governance, such as rework caused by missing information, selecting the wrong template, and legal risks arising from the use of outdated templates.

To solve these challenges, LegalOn Technologies has expanded the capabilities of the 'LegalOn Assistant'. We have developed the 'Drafting Agent' feature, which autonomously executes contract drafting tasks based on user instructions. With this, the AI agent consistently supports the entire process from template selection to drafting.

■ From an 'Answering Assistant' to an 'Agent that acts on its own'. Key features of the 'Drafting Agent' This feature is characterized by the 'LegalOn Assistant' autonomously executing the multiple processes required for contract drafting. While its role was previously centered on responding to questions from users, the implementation of this feature has evolved it into an agent that proactively drives the contract drafting process.

### 1. Identify the optimal template just by conveying the background of the case When the user inputs conditions such as the purpose and background of the transaction, or terms favorable to their company, it searches and proposes the optimal template from the company's own templates or LegalOn templates based on that information. It also supports creation based on files on hand (.docx / .pdf).

### 2. Automate tedious 'transcription' and 'creating a structure draft' After finalizing the template, it presents a 'Drafting Plan' according to the contract details. Subsequently, the AI automatically reflects basic information such as the business partner's name, contract period, and amount into the appropriate sections within the contract. Furthermore, it complements necessary information through dialogue with the user and generates the first draft of the contract.

### 3. Two user experiences tailored to work styles It can be used in the following two ways, depending on the user's work environment.

**【Use in the browser version of Microsoft Word】** Everything from 'template search' to 'AI drafting' and 'document editing and saving' can be done in one place on the browser
