  • Patent number: 12724981
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product for tuning a large language model. One or more first electronic documents are sampled to generate one or more sampled electronic documents. One or more portions of one or more second electronic documents are identified and extracted from the second electronic documents. The sampled electronic documents are sent to a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model to generate one or more first labels. One or more portions of the second electronic documents are sent to the generative AI model to generate one or more second labels. A large language model is trained using one or more first labels and one or more second labels to generate a trained large language model.

  • Patent number: 12725216
    Abstract: A system for generating counterparty profiles for electronic agreements, based on an indication of a change to a pending clause of an electronic agreement, may determine, based on a second entity, a first historical document and a second historical document. The system may correlate the pending clause of the electronic agreement with a first clause of a plurality of first clauses of the first historical document and with a second clause of a plurality of second clauses of the second historical document based on first content of the first clause and second content of the second clause. Based on the correlation, the system may generate difference information between the first content of the first clause and the second content of the second clause. The system may generate a counterparty profile for the second entity based on the difference information.

  • Patent number: 12711269
    Abstract: A document execution engine receives a training set of data including training documents that each include one or more passages associated with a passage type and a level of risk. The document execution engine trains a machine learned model based on the training set. The trained machine learned model, when applied to subsequently identified passages within documents in the document execution environment, can identify a passage with above threshold levels of risk (e.g., a high-risk passage) based on a passage type of the passage. The trained machine learned model can then provide for display the high-risk passage and a related passage of the same passage type from a second document within the document execution environment to the user via a document passage comparison interface. Differences between the passages can be highlighted, enabling a user to quickly compare and contrast the passages.

  • Patent number: 12711182
    Abstract: A system, for example, a document management system stores documents and manages workflows associated with documents. The document management system allows discovery of templates based on explicit searches performed by users or automatic searches performed based on a context. The document management system allows generating new document templates based on selected versions of document component templates. The generated document template may be stored as a new version. The document management system instantiates documents based on templates by predicting values of variables used in the template based on various factors that describe the context in which the template is being used. The values used for instantiating variables may be generated using machine learning models that may be trained using historical data stored in the document management system.

  • Publication number: 20260236869
    Abstract: Through a workflow interface, a document management system enables a user to establish a document workflow. The document workflow establishes a set of document actions for the document management system to perform automatically in response to a request from the user. The user defines the document workflow by selecting from a set of workflow operations and specifying parameters for the selected workflow operation. The user additionally defines an approval workflow operation and a rejection workflow operation that designate document actions in the event that a document is approved or rejected, respectively. The document management system performs at least a portion of the document workflow in an order determined from the workflow interface.

  • Patent number: 12705419
    Abstract: A document management system generates a form interface including fields that correspond to a set of document tags selected by a user. The document tags, each of which corresponds to a document term, is located in a document template. The document management system suggests fields corresponding to document terms not selected by the user, but often included in similar document templates. In response to the user's selection of at least one of the suggested fields, the document management system modifies the form interface to include the selected suggested field. After the fields in the form are completed, thus defining the document terms, the document management system generates a document with each of the terms in place of the document tags.

  • Patent number: 12664218
    Abstract: A document management system can include an artificial intelligence-based document manager that can perform one or more predictive operations based on characteristics of a user, a document, a user account, or historical document activity. For instance, the document management system can apply a machine-learning model to determine how long an expiring agreement document is likely to take to renegotiate and can prompt a user to begin the renegotiation process in advance. The document management system can detect a change to language in a particular clause type and can prompt a user to update other documents that include the clause type to include the change. The document management system can determine a type of a document being worked on and can identify one or more actions that a corresponding user may want to take using a machine-learning model trained on similar documents and similar users.
