The Redline Tool allows you to upload Word documents (.docx) and request AI-powered modifications that are returned as professional “redlines” (tracked changes). This bridges the gap between conversational AI editing and professional document review.

​
Overview

When you ask mixus to edit a document, the Redline Tool orchestrates a sophisticated process:
  1. It analyzes the original document structure.
  2. It applies your requested changes using advanced LLMs (like Claude 3.5 Sonnet).
  3. It performs a professional comparison between the original and the edited version.
  4. It returns a new Word document with Track Changes enabled, showing exactly what was modified.

​
Key Capabilities

​
1. Professional Track Changes

Instead of just giving you a block of text, the Redline Tool returns a standard Microsoft Word document with native track changes. You can open this in Word, review each change, and accept or reject them individually.

​
2. Intelligent Document Markup

The tool doesn’t just swap text; it understands document context:
  • Negotiation Comments: Can insert “BigLaw” style negotiation comments explaining why a change was made.
  • Source Citations: Can add footnotes with citations to market best practices or specific knowledge base documents.
  • Risk Analysis: Automatically flags potential legal or business risks introduced or addressed by the changes.

​
3. Multi-Source Support

You can redline documents from various sources:
  • Attachments: Documents you just uploaded to the chat.
  • Memory: Documents previously stored in your mixus knowledge base.
  • Generated Docs: Documents mixus just created for you.
  • External URLs: Documents downloaded from integrated services like Google Drive or SharePoint.

​
4. Advanced Validation

To ensure high quality, the tool performs multiple validation passes:
  • Content Accuracy: Verifies changes align with your instructions.
  • Instruction Completeness: Ensures all requested fields (like effective dates or party names) are filled.
  • Format Integrity: Maintains the original document’s styling and structure.

​
How to Use

Simply upload a .docx file and provide instructions.

​
Example Prompts

"Redline this NDA to be more favorable to the buyer, adding negotiation comments where appropriate."

​
Output Artifacts

When a redline operation completes, mixus provides:
  • Redlined Document: The primary .docx file with Track Changes.
  • Clean Version: (Optional) A version with all changes already accepted.
  • Comparison PDF: A quick-view PDF showing the redlines for easy mobile viewing.
  • Issues List: A summary document listing all major changes and identified risks.
For specialized legal use cases, the Redline Tool includes advanced features like attorney-grade validation and risk detection.
