AI has entered the contract room and it’s redefining how in-house legal teams work.

Last week, WilsonAI, co-founded by former Clifford Chance lawyer Gus Neate, launched publicly.

Described as a “Cursor for contracts”, Wilson transforms days of drafting, redlining, comparisons and research into minutes. It’s created for in-house teams that want to move faster without compromising rigour or control.

When Gus joined me on the Legally Speaking Podcast ™️, he explained:

“The first port of call is Wilson, who works like a junior, taking you 80% of the way there.”

Wilson’s playbooks adapt to each team’s risk profile, ensuring consistency, speed and trust. It automates redlines, verifies sources and extracts key terms from legacy contracts to give legal and commercial leaders instant visibility.

A clear example of AI enhancing, not replacing, the human lawyer.
