Most contract platforms focus on what their AI can do, not how people can work with it. They provide sophisticated analysis capabilities and advanced automation, but your team can’t access that power because the interface feels intimidating and unpredictable.

As Gartner® predicts in a recent report, “by 2028, more than half of buyers of GenAI-enabled enterprise software will cite ease of user experience as a primary reason for software provider selection.”

The report identifies three essential elements for building user trust in AI assistants: starting context, guided suggestions, and explainers. When users understand what the AI is doing and why it’s making specific recommendations, they become confident collaborators rather than hesitant observers.

We believe our contract copilot, Saige Assist — which was cited in the report — demonstrates this approach, offering conversational interfaces that cut through complex legal language while providing tailored recommendations that align with each company’s unique playbooks.

In this exclusive interview with Marisa Flit, Senior Product Designer at IntelAgree, we discuss how our design approach addresses the real challenges legal teams face — from cognitive overload caused by cramming too much information on single pages, to building trust through consistent, predictable AI interactions that never feel like black boxes.

The best part of curating Running Legal Like a Business is that it’s not just a conference, but a launchpad. That’s why we’re proud to share that V4 Final has chosen RLLB 2025 in Las Vegas as the platform for its public debut.

This isn’t just another tech company unveiling a shiny new tool. V4 Final brings something rare to the table: a product built by an award-winning in-house lawyer who understands the innovation that is needed to run legal like a business. V4 Final has lived the frustration of not having the right tools to do in-house legal work and they use that past frustration to provide extraordinary tools to prove the immense business value that a legal partner can provide.

Yes, it’s got a compelling business case (more work, less hassle) and it’s got AI (used responsibly!). More importantly, it has intentionality behind the solution: real-world pain, faced by legal teams every quarter, addressed with thoughtful, experience-driven innovation and design.

The Right Launch at the Right Time

We’ve seen a shift in what legal leaders want from technology. Promises of AI without the substance of usability or effectiveness just won’t cut it anymore. Business alignment. Useful output. Transparency. Solutions that treat legal review not as an academic exercise for the sake of policy compliance, but as a core part of strategic execution for business profitability.

V4 Final embodies this shift.

Rather than asking legal teams to take on the additional cognitive load of learning a new skill of “prompt engineering” or how to work with endless configurations of a “no code solution”, V4 Final helps them work more efficiently by surfacing the business context behind legal asks, organizing incoming work by client priority, and providing meaningful, defensible metrics to show legal’s contribution to business outcomes – from individual contributors all the way up to departmental impact.

That’s the kind of thinking we want on the RLLB stage.

A Platform That Mirrors the RLLB Mindset

RLLB isn’t just a tech expo for legal ops. It’s about building legal departments that operate with the same focus, accountability, and strategic precision as any other high-functioning business unit. Whether it’s through the valuable leadership and personal effectiveness tracks or the ability for general counsels connect around new innovation in department management and effectiveness, RLLB has session tracks designed to grow the capabilities of everyone in the law department.

V4 Final’s approach aligns directly with that mission. We’re not trying to change how legal teams think. We’re trying to amplify and showcase the best of what in-house counsel already brings to the table: judgment, partnership, and trust.

And if leadership’s past performance is any indication, the platform doesn’t just promise efficiency. It delivers impact. Clear priorities, reduced friction between departments, transparency for clients, and quantifiable value of the work done in the legal department. All without adding to the workload – allowing the legal team to focus on the work that only they can do.

Live at RLLB 2025: Your First Look

We’re especially excited that RLLB attendees will be the first to get hands-on with V4 Final. Not just a recorded demo, but an invitation to step into the product, ask questions, challenge assumptions, give feedback, and provide the kind of real-world feedback that only RLLB attendees can.

If you’re a GC, Legal Ops leader, or in-house lawyer feeling buried under emails, shifting priorities, and demands to do more with less, we encourage you to swing by the V4 Final booth. Even better, book time directly with CEO Matti Neustadt to explore how this solution was designed to meet the exact kind of challenges you face.

Looking Ahead

V4 Final may just be launching at RLLB but it will continue to improve as we take your feedback back with us. Now is the perfect time to get your needs heard – we know you need better tools, and we want to get those tools to you. We’re excited to see what happens when V4 Final gets into the hands of the legal leaders at RLLB.

See you in Las Vegas.
