FAQ

FAQ

Does it work on the document I have open?

Yes. There is no separate upload step. The add-in reads the document you already have open in Word and applies changes back into it.

Which versions of Word are supported?

Word for Windows desktop, Mac desktop, and Word on the web, with a Microsoft 365 account. The Office.js requirement floor is WordApi 1.6, so a very old desktop build will not run it.

Do AI edits use native Word tracked changes?

Yes. Redlines and inserted answers apply as native Word tracked changes, so you accept or reject them through Word's own Review controls, and the counterparty can do the same in their copy. Comments and content controls are used where relevant.

Does it verify legal citations?

Yes. The Review tab has a Citations sub-tab that checks every case citation in the document against the US case-law corpus, so a fabricated or superseded cite is flagged. See Features.

What is the sign-off gate?

A server-computed check that rates whether a change needs manager, partner, or GC approval, plus deal-breaker flags for clauses that cannot go out without sign-off.

Do I need the Vaquill AI backend?

The hosted add-in requires it today. A self-hostable, bring-your-own-key (BYOK) community edition is in progress that removes this dependency. See Architecture.

Is it open source?

Yes, under the Apache License 2.0.

How do I run it locally as a developer?

See Development for setup, build, and sideload steps.
