GenieAI
About us
GenieAI is the legal risk operating system for every business team, and in engineering that means contracts that move at the speed of the project. It lets engineering consultancies, contractors, manufacturers and specialist firms draft, review and negotiate legal documents with AI, so the paperwork behind the work stops holding up the work itself.
Engineering runs on contracts. Whatever the specialism, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, building services, energy, process, manufacturing or infrastructure, every project depends on a stack of them: professional services appointments, consultancy agreements, supply and installation contracts, subcontracts, framework agreements, collaboration agreements, NDAs, IP licences, warranties and change orders. Many are long, heavily amended and negotiated against the clock. A single missed clause on liability, design responsibility or IP can expose a firm to risk it never priced for and its insurance may not cover. Yet many engineering businesses, particularly SMEs and specialist practices, have no in-house lawyer and can't justify sending every document to outside counsel. GenieAI closes that gap.
Built in the UK and used by more than 200,000 businesses across 150+ jurisdictions, GenieAI understands the contracts engineering actually uses. It works with the standard forms engineers see every day, including NEC4 (the Engineering and Construction Contract, Professional Service Contract and Supply Contract), FIDIC (the Red, Yellow, Silver and White Books), JCT, the IET/IMechE Model Forms MF/1, MF/2 and MF/3 for mechanical and electrical plant, the IChemE Red, Green, Burgundy and Yellow Books for process engineering, the ACE Professional Services Agreement, CIC consultants' conditions, the Infrastructure Conditions of Contract and LOGIC standard contracts for the energy sector. It also handles the bespoke terms, amendments and schedules that clients, main contractors and procurement teams attach to them. Its template library covers the documents engineering firms need week to week, from consultancy and professional services agreements to supply contracts, subcontractor agreements, EPC contracts, warranty agreements, equipment hire agreements and NDAs, all drafted to reflect UK law.
Reviewing contracts in minutes, not days
The biggest drain on time in engineering legal work is review. A project lead handed a client's amended appointment or a 100-page supply contract a few days before a bid deadline rarely has time to read it properly, let alone get advice. GenieAI reviews a full contract in a matter of minutes and flags what matters: missing terms, unusual or one-sided language, ambiguous wording and clauses that depart from the standard form or the firm's usual position.
For engineering teams, that means spotting the issues that turn a good project into a costly one. Fitness for purpose obligations where the firm expected reasonable skill and care, a gap that professional indemnity cover often won't bridge. Uncapped liability, missing net contribution wording or no exclusion of indirect and consequential loss. Design responsibility pushed onto a party that never priced for it. IP clauses that hand over ownership of designs, drawings, software or know-how the firm needs to reuse on the next job. Performance guarantees, liquidated damages and defects periods that go beyond what's reasonable. Payment terms, change control and termination rights that leave the firm carrying the cost of scope creep. Indemnities and insurance requirements that don't match what the firm actually holds.
Each issue comes with a plain-English explanation of why it matters and suggested wording to fix it, so engineers, project managers, commercial leads and directors can act with confidence rather than guessing. Firms can also set their own playbook, their standard positions on liability caps, standard of care, IP, insurance and payment, and GenieAI will review every incoming contract against it. That keeps positions consistent across every bid, every client and every office, whoever is holding the pen.
Negotiating where the work already happens
GenieAI works directly inside Microsoft Word, the tool engineering teams already use to exchange drafts. It proposes redlines with tracked changes and explains the reasoning behind each one, so the other side sees a clear, professional mark-up rather than a wall of edits. The AI contract assistant answers questions about any document in plain English, such as "what's our liability cap under this appointment?" or "who owns the design IP?", and points to the exact clause.
Consistency across the whole project
An engineering project is rarely one contract. It is a chain of documents that need to line up: the client appointment, subconsultant agreements, supply contracts, warranties and the framework they may all sit under. GenieAI's patent-pending Eidetic Intelligence architecture gives the platform accurate recall across every document in a deal, helping teams check that obligations, caps, definitions and dates stay consistent across the pack and that what the firm has promised upstream is properly reflected downstream. That means fewer gaps between documents, fewer surprises when something goes wrong, and less time spent chasing the latest version. To date, GenieAI has processed more than 300,000 contracts and over 10 million clause revisions.
Saving time and protecting margin
The value for engineering firms is practical. Bid and pre-contract review is faster, so teams can pursue more work without adding headcount. Chartered engineers and project leads spend less time reading legal terms and more time on the technical work clients pay for. Routine documents such as NDAs, subconsultant agreements, supply terms and variations can be produced in-house in minutes instead of waiting on outside counsel, which reduces legal spend and keeps projects moving. And because risk is flagged before signature, not discovered during a claim, firms are better placed to protect their margin, their insurance position and their reputation.
GenieAI does not replace a specialist lawyer on a complex dispute or a major bespoke deal. It makes sure that lawyer's time goes where it is needed, and that the everyday contracts are handled properly, quickly and consistently.
Safe, secure and compliant by design
Engineering firms handle some of the most commercially sensitive information there is: designs, specifications, drawings, pricing, proprietary methods and client data, often on critical infrastructure and regulated projects. GenieAI treats that data with the care it deserves. The platform is ISO 27001 certified, encrypts data with 256-bit encryption, and keeps every organisation's data private to that organisation. Customer data is never used to train AI models, and GenieAI operates under a UK GDPR-aligned data processing framework.
Compliance runs through the product as well as the platform. Templates reflect current UK law, reviews highlight compliance issues alongside commercial risk, and playbooks help firms apply the same approved positions every time. That gives directors, boards, insurers and clients confidence that contracts are being handled to a consistent, defensible standard, which matters in sectors where regulation, safety obligations and scrutiny of who is responsible for what keep increasing.
Built for every specialism
GenieAI is used across the engineering world: consultancies issuing and negotiating appointments, contractors and M&E specialists reviewing amended terms, manufacturers and suppliers agreeing supply and distribution contracts, and technology and product engineering teams protecting their IP in collaborations and licences. It works whether a firm has no lawyer at all or a busy legal team that needs to get through volume faster. Free legal templates and research tools mean anyone can start without a sales call, with Pro and Enterprise plans for teams that need more users, more capacity and shared playbooks.
Working with the industry
GenieAI is backed by Google Ventures and Khosla Ventures, and partners with professional bodies, trade associations, accountants and business networks to bring faster, more affordable legal support to the firms they serve. For engineering, that means helping members and clients get their contracts right from the start, so fewer disputes arise, fewer claims hit their insurance, and more projects are delivered on time and on margin.
The goal is simple: give every engineering business the contract support once reserved for firms with large legal teams, without slowing the work down.
