Different jobs, often used together

Copilot is a general AI assistant, not a contract management system. Dock AI works on the structured contract record (parties, dates, notice periods, extracted clauses and obligations), which Copilot can't see. Extraction is included in every Dock plan. Playbook review is a Dock AI add-on, available now on any plan with Dock v6.1 or later.

Microsoft Copilot

A general assistant across Microsoft 365, useful for drafting emails and summarizing files you point it at.

Dock AI

Clause and metadata extraction, the playbook review add-on, summaries and tracked obligations, all on the structured contract record.

Side by side

Included in Dock 365

General Microsoft 365 assistance: Focused on the contract record
Contract summaries: Plain-language summaries across up to 10 documents; edit or regenerate
Tracked obligations: User-created from extracted clauses; users set due dates, with admin-configured date notifications

Why contract teams add Dock

Teams already on Microsoft 365 Copilot often ask why they'd need Dock AI.

A summary alone does not create structured renewal dates, set up reminders or apply a contract playbook. Dock AI suggests clauses and metadata; users confirm fields, add obligations and set dates. Run Dock AI on your own Azure OpenAI, OpenAI or Claude keys, or let Dock manage it in a dedicated Azure AI Foundry in Dock's Azure, where no contract data is stored; AI logs contain no document text and AI data is encrypted at rest (AES-256). Your content is never used to train models, and admins can restrict AI. Ask Dock AI is not available yet. Repository-wide semantic search arrives with the Dock AI add-on in Nov 2026.
