Scout AI in PaperTrail Sign

Send it right. Sign with understanding.

Scout checks documents before they go out for signature and helps every signatory understand what they are signing. After signing, it files the agreement with all its key details.

  • Scout Search finds documents by metadata and content without sharing them with any AI model.
  • Reading documents happens only when you choose to share, per process, with the model and location you choose, down to a local LLM on your own servers.
  • Scout Search · no sharing

    Ask your signed agreements

    Find any agreement in plain language by party, date, status or anything written in it.

  • When you choose to share

    Pre-send check

    Before sending, Scout checks for empty fields, missing annexures, wrong dates and missing signatories.

  • When you choose to share

    Signing set up for you

    Scout suggests who should sign and where signatures and initials belong, based on the document itself.

  • When you choose to share

    Plain-language summary

    Signatories can read a short summary of what they are agreeing to before they sign.

  • When you choose to share

    Unusual clause alerts

    Clauses that differ from your standard wording are highlighted before the document leaves your organisation.

  • When you choose to share

    Filed with its key facts

    Once signed, parties, dates, values and renewal terms are extracted and the agreement is filed automatically.

Your documents are only shared with an AI model when you switch it on for a process. You choose the model (Claude, Gemini, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock or a local LLM), and people approve what matters.
