Make the intake specific
Supply the parties, document kind, jurisdiction, obligations, dates and reference material. Review imported content and retain its source identity before using it in a new matter.
Use Gixo when the team needs a first draft shaped by compensation, IP, confidentiality, termination, and governing-law context before qualified review and execution.
An AI employment agreement generator is a structured-intake tool that produces a first-draft employment agreement covering compensation and equity, IP and invention assignment, restrictive covenants and confidentiality, and termination terms. Gixo can use a company's prior agreements as reference input and exports the draft for reviewer handoff. Qualified employment counsel still reviews every clause before execution; Gixo does not provide legal advice or certify enforceability.
This is a real Lex export for invented parties. Inspect the input and clauses as a worked example, with professional review kept separate from automated drafting and checks.
A consulting agreement of 26 numbered clauses between two invented parties: scope, services, deliverables, exclusions, fees and expenses, intellectual property, confidentiality, liability, termination, notices, governing law and signature blocks. Its first page says the parties, people and addresses are invented and that it is a worked example, not a legal document.
Draft a Consulting Agreement: repairs satisfaction measurement between Larkfield Analytics Ltd (Consultant) and Harbourside Housing Association (Client). Governing law: England and Wales. Effective date: 2027-02-01. Term: Ten weeks from the effective date. Confidentiality: Three years after the engagement ends. The Consultant will review the Client's current repairs satisfaction survey and the data behind it, recommend a method for measuring repairs satisfaction by contractor, and leave the Client with a reporting approach that the repairs team and the board can use. Excluded: building or buying software, and running surveys. Dependencies: the Client provides the survey data within five working days of the effective date and two days a week of its operations manager's time. State on the first page that the parties, people and addresses in this agreement are invented and that it is a worked example, not a legal document. Keep the agreement short and plain. The notice email address of Larkfield Analytics Ltd is notices@larkfield-analytics.example and of Harbourside Housing Association is notices@harbourside-housing.example (both invented).
Read mechanically against the intake, not by a lawyer: all 12 facts the intake gave (names, registration numbers, addresses, representatives, the effective date and the governing law) are in the draft, nothing is left as a placeholder, and it states two terms the intake did not give, 30 days and 10 business days, which Lex chose.
Supply the parties, document kind, jurisdiction, obligations, dates and reference material. Review imported content and retain its source identity before using it in a new matter.
Use the legal workspace's permitted structural tools, Draft Checks and review paths. Compare proposed changes with the saved draft and original material; unsupported Word edits must be handled explicitly.
Have qualified counsel review enforceability, local requirements and the actual commercial intent. Check the current approval state and the downloaded document after a change.
Select the target clause and give Ask Lex a bounded instruction. Missing facts remain visible for review. Inspect the before-and-after proposal, required clause checks and any explicit outside-matrix or mandatory-clause override before versioned application. Use the legal workspace's structural allowlist rather than assuming every general content-editor block is available.
Inspect immutable playbook versions, anchored findings, provenance and precedent variants before staging a change. Matters retain original sources, quotation findings and source-version comparisons. Review extracted obligations for timing, ownership and source revision; negotiation turns and agreement-pack review cells have their own decisions and current-version requirements.
Original-format Word export, tracked changes against an original and saved-version redlines are separate paths. Unsupported edits must be surfaced rather than silently claimed as preserved. Inspect the layout, validator notes and downloaded file, then retain its delivery receipt. Counsel's review applies to the actual matter and version.
Every contract in Lex, drafted or imported, gets an AI contract review: each clause the document type expects marked present, weak or absent; up to 25 risks with a level, the party each falls on, why it matters and replacement wording; and provisions that cannot both be followed. Every quotation is checked against the contract text, findings are decided before approval, and there is no single risk score. The same review reads the key terms and obligations with the words they quote and proposes them into the Agreement Pack. Review every document puts up to 25 documents of an Agreement Pack, or up to 200 in a matter, into one table with your own questions as columns and an Excel export. Approvers can be named in order, and signing supports up to 10 signers with an optional signing order and automatic reminders; it is a simple electronic signature, not a qualified one. A qualified reviewer still decides what the contract says.
Lex does not provide legal advice or certify compliance. The public specimen is not a universally reusable legal template. Word fidelity depends on the supported original-document and saved-version path; unrestricted Power Edit and image insertion are not legal editing features.
The job is not to ask AI for a legal answer. The job is to prepare a draft or artifact that a qualified reviewer can actually work with.
Capture salary, bonus, equity, and related terms in structured inputs so the draft starts with the actual commercial package.
Bring ownership, pre-existing IP, and invention-assignment assumptions into the draft before review begins.
Shape the draft around the confidentiality and post-employment restrictions the reviewer will need to examine closely.
Capture notice, cause, severance, and post-termination assumptions in the intake rather than retrofitting them later.
Reference files and governing context can shape the draft. Cited sources can show which draft sentences are supported by supplied reference files. This in-app support does not establish legal authority or statutory compliance and is not inserted into the contract or its exports; reviewers still check the facts and law independently.
After the first draft, Lex runs an AI contract review of the whole contract, with every quotation checked against the text, beside rule checks: clause coverage against a versioned playbook, clause-conflict detection, and defined-term and cross-reference checks. Findings, tracked-change DOCX redlines, comments, review state, assignees, due dates, and version history all stay attached to the same document. A contract imported from Word can go back as that same DOCX, with the Lex edits shown as Word tracked changes; where Lex cannot track an edit faithfully, such as inside a field, an existing revision, a header or a footer, it refuses the export instead of altering the document. Reviewers still verify every clause and conclusion.
Define the employment scenario, compensation, and key onboarding terms that will shape the first draft.
Bring the clauses reviewers usually spend the most time on into the intake before generation starts.
Supply prior agreements and reference files as drafting input, then verify the language and clause patterns against internal practice.
Edit and review the draft in the workspace, then export in PDF, DOCX, HTML, and TXT once it is ready for the next step.

Lex is a legal-work lifecycle workspace, not a generic drafting chat. Move from structured intake and reference-informed drafting through deterministic checks, the AI contract review, playbooks, negotiation, obligations, approvals, and execution records, with professional review before action.
Before review, Gixo Lex runs a draft analysis pass: a clause inventory, missing-clause coverage, defined-term consistency, cross-reference validation, and execution-readiness checks. Those checks are rule-based rather than generated: they call no model, write no new legal text, and draw no plan capacity, so the same draft checked twice gives the same answer and reviewers start from a cleaner draft instead of hunting for gaps. After the first draft, Lex runs an AI contract review of the whole contract, with every quotation checked against the text, beside rule checks: clause coverage against a versioned playbook, clause-conflict detection, and defined-term and cross-reference checks. Findings, tracked-change DOCX redlines, comments, review state, assignees, due dates, and version history all stay attached to the same document. A contract imported from Word can go back as that same DOCX, with the Lex edits shown as Word tracked changes; where Lex cannot track an edit faithfully, such as inside a field, an existing revision, a header or a footer, it refuses the export instead of altering the document. Reviewers still verify every clause and conclusion.
Agreement Packs connect related documents, proposed party and obligation facts, version-bound approval receipts, and execution records on the same matter. Fields stay proposed until a reviewer confirms, disputes, or marks them inapplicable.
Lex can collect simple electronic signatures on a frozen PDF of the approved agreement. When everyone has signed, Lex appends an audit certificate to make the signed copy and records the SHA-256 fingerprint of each file against that approved version; the PDF carries no embedded digital signature, so a copy is checked against the fingerprint Lex records. The signature is a simple electronic signature, not a qualified or certificate-based one, and it is not witnessing, notarization, or recording. Once execution is recorded, Lex tracks operative obligations with owners and due dates, sends in-app and email reminders on each reminder date and again if an item goes overdue, and exports confirmed due dates as an .ics calendar file.
