WilsonAI Launches Revolutionary Legal AI Platform | 5x Faster Contract Work
London, 24 September 2025 – WilsonAI, the company behind a leading AI-powered legal automation platform for in-house legal teams, today announced the public launch of its revolutionary platform with self-serve access. Wilson has been developed hand-in-hand with leading enterprise legal teams and is now saving over 80% of time on common legal tasks. Wilson is now available for free to legal professionals worldwide at www.getwilson.ai for a limited time.
"Cursor for Contracts" Transforms Legal Work
Dubbed "Cursor for Contracts," Wilson transforms how legal teams handle contract work by providing an AI-powered editing experience with near-perfect Microsoft Word feature parity. The platform's core capabilities include:
- AI-powered contract redlining that flags key risks and edits wording based on legal stance
- Instant term extraction for due diligence and risk assessments
- Rapid Q&A functionality that answers contract questions with verifiable citations
- Comprehensive legal research across multiple documents and jurisdictions
Founded by Legal and Finance Experts
Founded in August 2024, co-founders Gus Neate and Alex Wang met at Entrepreneurs First (dubbed Europe's Y Combinator) following high-flying careers in law at Clifford Chance and quant finance at D.E. Shaw. After raising $1.7M USD in SF last year, they have been working closely with legal experts to build enterprise AI systems to automate high-stakes legal work in the most safe and efficient manner.
Recent testing demonstrated Wilson outperforming lawyers over key workflows. Over the past year, Wilson has gone from being a tool to being viewed akin to an indispensable junior colleague.
Breaking Through the AI Adoption Curve
As the AI landscape develops rapidly, agentic workflows are becoming increasingly powerful and reliable, with nimble startups often moving faster than established incumbents in delivering practical solutions. Built by lawyers for lawyers, Wilson differentiates itself through its exceptional user experience, combining the fidelity and simplicity that lawyers expect with cutting-edge AI capabilities.
Since its initial deployment, Wilson has demonstrated remarkable efficiency gains across legal teams. In head-to-head comparisons, Wilson operates 5x faster than first-year associates at major law firms across common legal tasks. The platform has experienced massive increases in usage, with time savings jumping from 15% to 80% as legal teams leverage Wilson for increasingly complex agentic workflows.
Wilson has won competitive pilots against well-funded competitors, beating out legacy legal tech tools that had raised $165M and $70M respectively.
Customer Success Stories
Mark Tyler, General Counsel / COO at Crowdcube, said: "Our team love using Wilson. It's seen as a supportive tool rather than a replacement, helping them clear away the repetitive work so they can spend more time on higher-value, more interesting matters. The result is a happier, more engaged team that's adding greater value to the business. Importantly, we haven't reduced headcount - instead, WilsonAI has allowed us to handle a larger volume of work, and at a consistently higher quality than before."
Alan Owens, Legal Director at H&MV, said: "The speed and accuracy are remarkable. Wilson has impressed us across the board - from redlining contracts to rewording emails with sharp, practical suggestions. It feels like having a paralegal on hand, available instantly. Even colleagues who were initially sceptical about AI now see the value, especially in its ability to generate clause comparisons, highlight changes between formats, and deliver reliable contract reviews."
Jamie Todd, Commercial Legal Counsel at Screencloud, said: "Wilson has become invaluable as a paralegal tool, enabling non-legal teams to confidently manage processes and reduce reliance on legal oversight. It has been especially useful in producing and maintaining playbooks, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and compliance across the business. With strong data protection built in, and the assurance that our data remains secure, we have confidence in using AI responsibly."
Advanced AI Architecture Delivers Trustworthy Results
Wilson provides trustworthy outputs with complete citation transparency. Every fact and edit comes with verifiable sources linking back to document bases and legal playbooks, ensuring lawyers can trust and verify Wilson's work. The platform handles complex multi-document workflows, such as extracting specific clauses from hundreds of contracts for due diligence reports, completing these tasks in seconds with near-perfect accuracy.
Leadership Vision
Gus Neate, co-founder and CEO of WilsonAI, said: "Now is when the time savings really start accelerating as Wilson becomes more agentic. I've been able to have Wilson complete tasks I've spent five hours on as a lawyer in just 5 minutes. We're excited to share that capability with the world and democratize access to legal superpowers. The age of the 10x lawyer is finally here."
Alex Wang, co-founder and CTO of WilsonAI, said: "Our engineering team has been heads down building the best user experience for lawyers to review and edit contracts. The fidelity and simplicity of our UX is what sets Wilson apart, and it's great to see it beating out legacy tools in competitive evaluations. We built Wilson with a focus on trustable outputs that lawyers can rely on."
