Yokohama

Starting with Yokohama Patch 5, Now Assist usage measurement is transitioning from a 365-day look-back model to a 365-day burn-down model, with usage resetting at the contract anniversary date. For more information, refer to KB KB2704710: Now Assist Usage - Overview & New Measurement Logic.

Use the manage contract repository agentic workflow to automatically identify and capture key contractual obligations from signed contracts and create obligation records in the contract repository. The AI agent in the manage contract repository agentic workflow uses the Now Assist Contract obligation extraction skill to extract key contractual obligations from contracts.

Review extracted obligations in the contract playbook, with options to edit, approve, or reject each obligation. Approved obligations are added as obligation records in the contract repository while rejected obligations are deactivated.

Configure and map use cases for obligation extraction skill in the AI Admin Hub console to automatically extract key contractual obligations from signed contracts. The AI agent in the manage contract repository agentic workflow uses the Now Assist Contract obligation extraction skill to extract key contractual obligations from contracts.

Contract documents are often complex and stored across multiple formats and repositories, making keyword-based search inefficient and error-prone. The new Now Assist powered conversational search feature enables you to search contract documents using natural language and dialogue-driven queries.

The conversational search feature does not support searching within contract documents that are scanned PDFs.

The new default behavior works as follows:

-   New customers: When you install a Now Assist product, designated skills are turned on automatically.
-   Existing customers who are upgrading \(starting with Yokohama Patch 11\): Any previously unconfigured skill is turned on automatically \(the skill was never configured and turned on, then turned off again\). Previously configured skills that were turned on, then off, remain inactive.

Long term stable (LTS) models are part of Now LLM Service and provide longer model stability windows for regulated industries. These models can integrate with tools to provide governance, monitoring, and compliance controls.

Use the playbook within a contract repository record to review the metadata extracted by the AI agents in the Manage contract repository agentic workflow. You can make necessary changes to the extracted information, and submit it to update the contract repository. If the contract end date is available, the Review contract reminders tab appears in the playbook, enabling you to review and update the AI-calculated contract reminder date and specify recipients for contract renewal or terminations.

Google Gemini and AWS Claude are available for Now Assist skills and AI agents in addition to Now LLM Service and Azure OpenAI.

Select a large language models (LLM) provider at for a contract analysis or metadata extraction use case. The selected LLM is applicable only for the specific use case and overrides the LLM selected for Now Assist in Contract Management skills.

Use the Manage contract repository agentic workflow to improve productivity by autonomously creating milestone reminders for the notice period of contract renewals or the notice period for termination of contract renewals.

|Agentic workflows|Description|
|-----------------|-----------|
|Manage contract repository|Uses AI agents to retrieve contract details such as renewal notice period, termination notice period, or auto-renewal clause information, and determine the average lead time for similar contracts to create contract milestone reminders for the notice period of contract renewals or the notice period for termination of contract renewals.|

Export search results from conversational search in multiple file formats. The export includes all search results and uses the columns configured in your list view. Customize the exported columns using the Personalize fields option.

Provide feedback on AI-identified non-standard and missing clauses to help improve AI accuracy over time. When reviewing contracts using Now Assist contract analysis, you can indicate whether the AI suggestions were helpful or not helpful by using the thumbs up or thumbs down feedback options. You can also provide optional qualitative feedback with comments. The feedback option is available in both the workspace and Microsoft Word add-in.

The feedback provided on each clause is captured in the Contracts Gen AI Feedback table.

Locate non-standard clauses easily in Microsoft Word. The document scrolls to the relevant section using AI citations when you select a Now Assist suggestion in the Microsoft Word add-in.

Use the AI agents in the Manage contract repository agentic workflow to automatically extract metadata from signed contracts and calculate the contract reminder dates for contract renewal or termination. You can review the AI results in the contract playbook and update it if necessary before saving it.

Support for 14 additional metadata fields in the CM Pro - Contract Metadata Extraction use case available in the base system.

Create a use case and its associated fields for contract metadata extraction in the AI Admin Hub console to define the information that you want Now Assist to detect in a signed contract.Create a use case mapping in the AI Admin Hub console to map a use case to specific tables and define conditions to apply the use case for metadata extraction.

The Now LLM Service is no longer the default model provider for new or inactive AI assets. A third-party LLM is now selected by default, while existing configurations using the Now LLM Service continue unchanged. The Now LLM Service is still available for manual selection.

The default model provider for contract metadata extraction, contract analysis, and contract obligation extraction is Azure OpenAI.

Missing clause detection in contract revision using the contract analysis skill has been enhanced for accuracy. The setup, configuration, and review experience remains unchanged across all supported workspaces.

Clear the Contracts created from contract request check box on the use case mapping forms for the contract metadata extraction and contract obligation extraction skills to extract metadata and obligations form signed contracts that are uploaded directly on a contract record.

The Now Assist powered conversational search feature's improved experience enables you to:

-   View results in a listing view, making it easier to scan, compare, and navigate contract information.
-   Open contract documents directly from the search results and perform an in‐document search.

The conversational search feature does not support searching within contract documents that are scanned PDFs.

The manage contract repository agentic workflow has been optimized for enhanced performance. It now utilizes a single agent, the Contract Repository AI agent to extract both contract metadata and obligations from signed contracts, and retrieve required information to calculate the contract reminder date.

Agentic workflows and AI agents included with your applications require additional security configuration. If you select Users with selected roles for your user access security controls for an agentic workflow or AI agent, you must add the installed roles, or they will not execute. See the documentation for the agentic workflow or AI agent for the specific roles you must add.
