Microsoft 365How do you draft a contract from a template?
To draft a contract from a template, tell Maito who the agreement is with, the term, the fee and anything unusual. It opens your approved template in Drive, fills in the details, keeps the standard clauses and attaches a draft document. It lists any blanks and non-standard terms, so a lawyer reviews less.
How it's done today
Lawyers rebuild similar documents each time.
What Maito does
- Pick the right template
- Fill in deal details
- Mark anything not standard
Example
@Maito draft a consulting agreement for Jo Smith, 3 months, $8k a month.
Draft attached: consulting-agreement-jo-smith.docx, built from Consulting Agreement v4 in Drive. Filled in: • Consultant: Jo Smith, independent contractor • Term: Nov 2, 2026 to Feb 1, 2027 • Fee: $8,000 a month, invoiced monthly, net 30 ($24,000 total) • Governing law: Delaware, as in the template Not standard: nothing. Two blanks I couldn't fill: the scope in Schedule A and Jo's address. You didn't give a start date, so Nov 2 is a placeholder. The template's IP clause only covers work during the term, so anything Jo does before the start date isn't assigned. Claire needs to approve it before it goes to Jo.
@Maito start is Nov 9. Scope is Q4 payroll audit prep.
Updated: Nov 9 to Feb 8, 2027, and Schedule A now reads Q4 payroll audit preparation. v2 attached. Only Jo's address is still blank. I've asked Claire to review.

What it won't do
It works from the templates you connect and can't check whether a template suits a particular deal. A lawyer should review the draft before it goes out.
Questions
It starts from your approved template and clauses. Anything outside them is marked as not standard so a lawyer can look at it.
It leaves the blank, lists it for you and asks. It won't guess an address, a date or a scope.
No. It attaches the draft in the thread. Sending or signing is up to you and your legal team.
