Docusign for Perplexity Computer helps in-house legal teams draft, review, sign, and manage contracts across the entire business
"Contracts are at the heart of how every company operates, and legal teams sit right in the middle of this work," said Allan Thygesen, CEO of Docusign. "Too often, critical contract information gets stuck in disconnected systems, forcing legal teams to juggle multiple tools. We want to bring Docusign's agreement intelligence and workflows directly into the AI tools legal teams already use — so they can spend less time managing documents and more time helping the business move faster."
"As Perplexity's General Counsel, I've felt the pain of contract work scattered across tools firsthand — and I've also seen what Perplexity Computer can do when it's pointed at a real workflow," said Nathan Barksdale, General Counsel at Perplexity. "Connecting Docusign to Computer means legal teams don't just get faster contract execution — they can automate agreement workflows from end-to-end and spend more time on strategic legal work."
Using Docusign in Perplexity for AI-Powered Contracting Work
Powered by the Docusign Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, legal teams can set an objective using plain language in Perplexity and Docusign can automate contract work from start to finish. Examples include:
- Streamlined Vendor & Compliance Reviews: Legal and procurement teams can identify clauses that don't align with company playbooks and review suggested edits – no manual comparisons required.
- Faster Deal Negotiations: During negotiations, legal and sales teams can quickly find historical contract language, draft updated terms based on this information, route approvals, and send the agreement for signature without switching tools.
- HR & Employment Agreements: Legal can operationalize agreements for HR teams across the entire hire-to-retire journey, from routing employment agreements for review and signature to identifying missing employee documents and flagging compliance issues – without having to open a spreadsheet.
The Docusign for Perplexity integration is available today in English globally.
