Quickstart

This guide walks you through the full Fusial workflow with a single contract: sign in, set up a workspace, upload a .docx, run the AI analysis, decide on the redlines, and export a clean version.

Before you start

You'll need:

• A Google account, or an email address you can receive mail at, to sign in.
• A negotiated contract in .docx format. Tracked changes are supported and encouraged — Fusial reads them as decidable edits.

Fusial only ingests .docx files today. Older .doc, .pdf, and other formats need to be converted first.

1. Sign in

Go to app.fusial.com and choose how to sign in:

• Continue with Google — fastest path, uses Google OAuth.
• Email and password — create an account with an email/password pair.

If your administrator has enforced two-factor authentication, you'll be asked to set up an authenticator app the first time you sign in.

2. Create or join an organization

Every contract in Fusial lives inside an organization (your workspace).

• If you were invited, accept the invitation email and you'll be added automatically.
• If you're starting fresh, sign-up walks you through creating your organization and setting up your playbook.

Members in an organization have one of four roles:

3. Upload your first contract

From your dashboard:

1. Click Upload contract, or drag a .docx onto the dashboard.
2. Pick the file and confirm.

When the upload finishes you land on the contract page with the contract overview, ready for you to run AI analysis.

4. Run AI analysis

The contract page opens with a contract overview. Click Run AI analysis and confirm. Fusial scans the document, analyzes it, and dispatches specialized sub-agents in parallel to produce the briefing and parse every tracked change into discrete edit records.

Results stream into the page as they're produced.

5. Read the contract overview

When analysis finishes, the contract page shows:

• Counterparty — who the agreement is with.
• Classification — the type of agreement (NDA, MSA, SOW, etc.).
• Summary — a short plain-language overview.
• Key terms — pulled-out values like effective date, term length, fees, and governing law.
• Section outline — for navigation through the document body.
• Activity — a log of recent actions taken on the contract.

Select Open editor in the top right of the overview to review the full contract.

6. Run an AI redline pass

The redline pass reviews the contract against your organization's playbook and surfaces every clause that deviates from your standards.

1. Click Run AI redline in the editor header (or Re-run AI redline if a pass has already run on this version).
2. Fusial streams findings into the review queue as they're generated — each issue includes a category, the offending clause, severity (Must have / Should have / Nice to have / Neutral), a rationale, and a suggested rewrite.

For each suggestion you can:

• Accept (A) — queue the suggested replacement.
• Reject (R) — discard the suggestion.
• Counter (C) — propose an alternative rewrite.
• Command menu (⌘K) — open the command menu for additional actions.

Use j and k to step through the queue.

7. Decide on incoming edits

If the uploaded .docx had tracked changes from the counterparty, they show up in the review queue alongside your AI redlines. Use the Source filter to scope the queue to Counterparty edits.

For each incoming edit you can Accept to keep their change or Reject to revert to your text.

To send back a counter-proposal, click Review their edits in the editor header — Fusial generates response suggestions with recommended actions (Accept / Reject / Counter) and rationale. On a Counter response, you can edit the proposed text in the decision bar before sending it.

8. Export the contract

Once every edit is decided (no pending items remain):

1. Click Export final in the editor footer.
2. Confirm.

Fusial recompiles a clean .docx with all accepted edits applied and adds it as a new version to the contract's history — for example, a v1 contract exports as v2. Download it and send it back to the counterparty.

If pending edits remain, Export final is disabled until they're resolved.
