Agiloft Earns Newsweek AI Impact Award Finalist Spot for CLM AI
Agiloft, a prominent provider of data-driven Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) solutions, has been recognized as a finalist for the prestigious Newsweek AI Impact Awards 2025. This accolade spotlights organizations that demonstrate exceptional influence through the strategic and ethical application of artificial intelligence technologies.
The Newsweek AI Impact Awards are designed to honor companies that leverage AI to tackle significant business challenges across diverse industries. The awards specifically highlight innovations that substantially enhance operational capabilities and deliver measurable improvements in business processes.
According to Eric Laughlin, CEO at Agiloft, the company’s CLM platform was intentionally built with AI deeply embedded, distinguishing it in the market. “We are focused on building AI with a balance of power and process transparency that leads to adoption,” Laughlin stated. He added that this recognition from Newsweek validates their approach and reflects the team’s dedicated efforts to make AI a responsible and integral part of daily decision-making.
Agiloft’s distinctive “AI on the inside” philosophy sets it apart from competitors offering superficial AI features or solutions where AI merely serves as an optional add-on. Rather than being a separate component, Agiloft provides fully configurable AI capabilities at every stage of the contract lifecycle. This integrated approach delivers tangible benefits, from data-driven assessments that can reduce initial review times by as much as 80 percent, to generative AI agents that facilitate instantaneous approval cycles, and rapid analysis of hundreds of contracts to uncover hidden risks. These efficiency-boosting features are provided as a core element of the CLM solution, not as an extra charge, accelerating business operations, improving visibility, and optimizing processes.
Jennifer H. Cunningham, editor-in-chief of Newsweek, emphasized the transformative role of AI in shaping the modern world. “The organizations receiving this award are at the forefront of that transformation,” Cunningham noted. She expressed pride in highlighting companies whose technologies and practices are pushing the boundaries of AI’s potential, both responsibly and effectively.
Agiloft earned its finalist position due to its unique AI functionalities, which directly address a common challenge for organizations: tailoring AI outputs for specialized tasks. Agiloft empowers its customers to customize AI-powered workflows to precisely fit their specific requirements. Through transparent “white box” AI capabilities and streamlined clause management within its Prompt Lab—further enhanced by Agiloft’s Screens feature for intelligent contract review and negotiation—the company’s AI solutions enable legal teams to streamline operations, automate manual tasks, and extract valuable, data-rich insights from contracts at scale.
