How Long Does It Really Take?
Traditional NDA workflow: 3–5 hours across emails, Word docs, and wet signatures. With Agreements.ai: under 10 minutes from template to signed agreement. Here's exactly how.
Step 1: Pick Your NDA Template
Head to the Templates library and search 'NDA.' You'll find one-way, mutual, and employee NDA variants — all drafted by legal professionals. Select the one that fits your situation. Each template includes guidance notes explaining when to use it and what to watch for.
Pro Tip
Not sure whether you need a mutual or one-way NDA? Use the AI chat to describe your scenario and get a recommendation instantly.
Step 2: Customize with AI
Once you've selected a template, the AI editor opens with the full document loaded. Tell it what you need — 'Make this a 2-year mutual NDA between my company Acme Corp and Beta Inc, governed by Delaware law.' The AI rewrites the relevant clauses in seconds while keeping the legal structure intact.
Pro Tip
Use the AI rewrite bubble to highlight specific paragraphs and request targeted changes — like tightening the definition of confidential information or adding a carve-out for publicly available data.
Step 3: Review with AI Analysis
Before sending, run the AI analysis. It scans every clause for potential risks, missing provisions, and unusual terms. You'll get a plain-language summary of what the NDA covers, what it doesn't, and suggestions for improvement. Citation references link back to the exact clause so you can verify everything.
Step 4: Send for Signing
Click 'Send for Signing' and enter the recipient's name and email. Agreements.ai generates a secure signing link with a full audit trail. The signer can review and sign from any device — no account required. You can add multiple signers, set a signing order, and include a personal message.
Pro Tip
Use Signing Templates to save your most common signer configurations. Next time, it's one click to send.
Step 5: Track in Your Dashboard
Once sent, the NDA appears in your Signing dashboard with real-time status updates — viewed, signed, or pending. Automated reminders nudge signers who haven't responded. You'll get an email notification the moment the document is fully executed.
Step 6: Store in a Case
After signing, move the completed NDA into a Case — your organized project folder. Tag it by client, deal, or department. Set a deadline for the NDA expiration date so you get a reminder when it's time to renew. The full version history and signed certificate are stored alongside the document.
The Bottom Line
Traditional: 3–5 hours → With Agreements.ai: under 10 minutes. Every step lives in one platform — no switching between tools, no lost email threads, no chasing wet signatures. Ready to try it yourself?
