Two ways to get legal work moving.

Upload a document for review, or create a new document through an iterative AI drafting workflow.

Review

Get back a document you can work with.

Upload a third-party commercial agreement you have been asked to sign. Pīwakawaka's legal and commercial AI agents (each powered by a different LLM) will review and return a Word document with internal comments, suggested markups and counterparty comments tailored to your situation. Download or forward that AI draft for legal advice.

Draft Document

A more efficient way to brief a lawyer.

Pīwakawaka collects key context from you and prepares a first draft automatically (without the lawyer starting their clock).

The lawyer begins with that draft and AI output they are already highly familiar with, together with your context. This reduces the human lawyer time involved in the routine tasks currently supported by around 50–70%.

Supply structured inputs

Give Pīwakawaka context and see that applied to your document in real time using its detailed know-how for each supported document type.

Share the AI work

Download the AI draft yourself or send to a lawyer, who will be automatically provided with the right context to efficiently process your request.

Speak with the lawyer

Talk to a human to refine the draft, query approach and strategy and finalise risk decisions based on real world experience.

Step 01

You brief the AI

You provide your business context, priorities and document details.

Step 02

AI returns your work

Iterate on the real document based on your feedback and turn it into output you can use.

Step 03

AI prepares your lawyer

Your lawyer receives the same output and the context that shaped it.

Step 04

You talk with your lawyer

You both arrive at the video call ready to focus on judgement and decisions.

Why a raw AI draft may not reduce your legal bill.

Pīwakawaka's agents are optimised for New Zealand technology businesses. They are powered by over 20 years of distilled practical  experience and can collect and apply different client contexts.

Raw AI review

Lack of context is inefficient

Without practical understanding of how similar issues are usually solved by NZ companies in the real world, raw LLM output can be low quality and immediately identifiable to the counterparty as AI generated. E.g. unnecessary redlines, poor prioritisation of issues, US references and drafting. Edits are less likely to be accepted by the counterparty, more likely to slow down deals and can take a lawyer more time (and more $) to review.

Pīwakawaka dual-agent review

Risk analysis challenged by commercial reality.

  • An AI agent identifies and mitigates legal and contractual risks relevant to the situation based on extensive practical playbooks
  • A commercial agent focuses on closing the deal efficiently and prioritising risks most relevant for your business
  • The tension between them balances protection with deal momentum
  • Each agent is built on a different LLM, giving you the combined intelligence of multiple frontier models
  • Agent know-how and behaviour are deeply understood by the lawyer, reducing the time required for legal review

Product answers

What Pīwakawaka does.

A concise guide to the product's current scope and workflows.

What New Zealand law context does Pīwakawaka support?

Pīwakawaka is designed for New Zealand technology businesses. Its review approach applies practical ways NZ companies handle commercial-contract issues, developed by a lawyer with more than 20 years’ experience advising technology companies. Its drafting workflow adapts NZ law firm templates to the user's situation.

How does the two-agent document review work?

Each document review uses two AI agents: one identifies and mitigates legal and contractual risks, while the other focuses on commercial priorities and closing the deal efficiently. Each agent uses a different LLM, providing an independent second perspective and balancing protection against unnecessary redlines.

How does the lawyer referral workflow work?

You provide the document and structured context, including your priorities, risk appetite and negotiating position. Pīwakawaka prepares AI output that you can download or share with a lawyer together with that context. A video call can then focus on judgement, strategy and the remaining decisions.

Which document types are currently supported?

For review, Pīwakawaka currently supports NDAs and supplier agreements covering SaaS, professional services, goods, software licences, independent contractors, lawyers, accountants and tax advisers. Drafting options include NDAs, independent contractor agreements, customer agreements, privacy policies, IP assignments, company constitutions, and director and shareholder resolutions.

Before you begin.

What can Pīwakawaka review?

Pīwakawaka currently reviews NDAs and supplier agreements, including SaaS, professional services, goods, software licences, independent contractors, lawyers, accountants and tax advisers. More documents are coming soon.

What do I receive after a review?

You receive a Word document with internal comments summarising the risk analysis, suggested markups and negotiation comments explaining your redlines to the counterparty. Each are customised to the document and the context you provide, including risk level and negotiating leverage.

How does the dual-agent review work?

Every document is reviewed by an AI agent focused on identifying and mitigating legal or contractual risks and a commercial agent focused on closing the deal efficiently. Each agent uses a different LLM, creating an independent second perspective for a more thorough analysis, as well as a more realistic balance between protection and unnecessary redlines.

What experience informs the review?

Pīwakawaka applies approaches to common problems NZ companies face in practice, developed by a human lawyer with more than 20 years’ experience advising technology companies on commercial contracts.

What can I draft?

Current drafting options include NDAs, independent contractor agreements, customer agreements, IP assignments, company resolutions, privacy policies and company constitutions.

How does the lawyer handoff work?

If you want legal advice, Pīwakawaka can send the collected client context and AI draft directly for legal review.  For the currently supported routine tasks, this redesigned instruction process is intended to make the legal advice 50–70% less expensive than traditional law firm engagements. You get the benefit of that efficiency gain in the form of faster turnaround and lower legal fees.
