What makes Scriptum different from other legal AI tools
What makes Scriptum different from other legal AI tools comes down to three things: where it works, what it learns from, and what it remembers.
It works inside Microsoft Word
Most AI drafting tools pull lawyers out of Word and into a separate portal. That sounds like a minor inconvenience until you consider that your team's actual drafting life happens in Word: comments, tracked changes, clause-by-clause review, version control, email attachments. Every switch between applications adds friction and reduces the chance that lawyers will use the tool consistently.
Scriptum lives inside Word as an add-in. You draft in the environment you already know. No separate login, no copy-pasting content between windows, no reformatting when content comes back across.
It drafts from your precedents, not generic text
General-purpose AI assistants draw on vast amounts of public text, including contracts from other jurisdictions, other industries and other firms. That is useful for broad questions but a problem when you need a first draft that reflects your house style, your preferred clause positions and the specific standards your clients expect.
Scriptum drafts from your firm's own precedents. If your team has a particular way of handling limitation of liability, or a clause formulation refined over years of negotiation, that is what gets reproduced. Your style, not a statistical average of everyone else's.
It builds a knowledge asset that compounds over time
Most AI tools treat each session as independent. You close the window and the context disappears. Scriptum captures clause choices, negotiation positions and deal outcomes as a byproduct of ordinary drafting work. Over months and years, this becomes a firm-owned record: which positions held, which concessions were made and why, how particular counterparties have behaved across multiple transactions.
That record does not leave with a departing partner. It does not require a dedicated knowledge management function to maintain. It grows as your team works.
Practical to adopt for a firm of 20 to 100
Enterprise legal AI is priced and structured for large firms. Scriptum is built for transactional practices with 20 to 100 fee earners, with published pricing starting at £79 per user per month on the Starter plan and no need to build a business case around a large-scale transformation programme. Firms that have signed up tend to see meaningful output in the first few weeks, not after months of onboarding and configuration.
