Step-by-Step: From Intake to Export

Each step maps directly to the Gixo Legal workspace interface. Follow this sequence for your first document.

1
Select your document type

Navigate to the Legal workspace and choose your document type: NDA (mutual or unilateral), Master Service Agreement, Shareholder Agreement, Employment Agreement, or Custom. Each type loads purpose-built intake fields that capture the specific information that document requires.

2
Add parties and define roles

Add up to 10 parties. For each party, enter the name, role in the agreement, entity type (company or individual), address, registration number, and authorized representative. The AI uses this structured data to assign obligations, rights, and defined terms correctly throughout the document.

3
Set jurisdiction, terms, and upload references

Select the governing law and jurisdiction. Set effective date, term duration, and confidentiality period. Add custom drafting instructions for any specific requirements. Optionally upload existing contracts as PDF, DOCX, or other formats — OCR handles scanned documents. The AI uses your references to align with established precedent language.

Pro Tip
Upload your organization's existing template for the same document type. The AI will adopt your precedent language, clause ordering, and formatting conventions rather than starting from a blank pattern.
4
Generate and review the draft

Click generate. The AI produces a structured legal document with jurisdiction-appropriate clauses, proper party references, and numbered provisions. Review the output in the workspace — each section is editable and the full document structure is visible at a glance.

5
Refine clauses with the editor and inline AI

Use the rich text editor to adjust specific clauses. Inline AI assists with rewriting provisions, expanding definitions, or tightening language. You can modify individual sections without regenerating the entire document. This is where the draft becomes counsel-ready.

6
Export and hand off to counsel

Choose from 7+ legal export themes — Intellectual Property, Corporate Governance, Court Filing, Compliance, Arbitration, Real Estate, or International Treaty. Export as PDF or DOCX with theme styling, HTML for web review, or TXT for system integration. Share the formatted document with legal counsel for final review and execution.

Important
All documents generated by Gixo should be reviewed by qualified legal counsel before execution. The platform produces review-ready first drafts, not final legal documents. Gixo does not provide legal advice.

Tutorial FAQ

How long does it take to generate a legal document?
Filling out the structured intake form takes 3-5 minutes depending on document complexity and number of parties. AI generation takes under a minute. The full process from intake to a review-ready draft is typically under 10 minutes.
Can I edit specific clauses without regenerating the whole document?
Yes. The rich text editor lets you modify any section independently. Inline AI can rewrite, expand, or simplify individual clauses while preserving the rest of the document. You do not need to regenerate to make targeted changes.
What file formats can I upload as references?
PDF, DOCX, DOC, TXT, MD, and HTML. For scanned PDFs, OCR automatically extracts the text content. The AI uses these references to maintain consistency with your existing templates, terminology, and clause structures.
Do I need to know the jurisdiction's specific laws?
No. You select the jurisdiction and the AI adapts clauses to that legal framework. However, counsel should still verify that the generated provisions are appropriate for your specific situation and the latest regulatory requirements in that jurisdiction.
Can I save a draft and return to it later?
Yes. Your documents are saved in the workspace. You can return to any draft to continue editing, regenerate sections, or export. Saved documents retain all party information, jurisdiction settings, and editing history.
