Purpose

  • Accelerate getting to a publishable first draft in My Playbooks

What it does

  • Ingests a .docx or .xlsx playbook and extracts issues, rules, and guidance

  • Maps content into LegalOn fields such as Playbook instruction, Model language, and Fallback position

  • Shows results in an interactive canvas with side‑by‑side Source snippet for easy auditing

  • Lets you review, edit, and publish directly to My Playbooks


Release scope (V1)

  • Supported file types: .docx and .xlsx

  • Upload limits: one playbook file and one optional contract template per run

  • Generation limit: up to 100 playbook instructions

  • Combined file size: up to 10 MB
