The drafter's co-pilot vs the diligence engine

Spellbook The drafter's co-pilot

Spellbook's superpower is generation. It acts as a "creative partner" for the lawyer, suggesting new clauses or refining existing text directly within Word. It is excellent for transactional lawyers who need to turn a term sheet into a first draft or negotiate a complex specific indemnity.

Colabra The diligence engine

Colabra's superpower is analysis. We do not generate text; we extract risk. When you upload a 5,000-document VDR dump, Colabra maps the corporate structure, flags the liabilities, and identifies the gaps. We provide the "ammunition" (the risks) that the lawyer then uses Spellbook to draft into the SPA.

Why the distinction matters

One document vs the whole room

Spellbook works on the document you have open in Word. It is a "depth" tool for a single file. Colabra works on the entire data room at once. We are a "breadth" tool that connects the dots between files—checking if the employment agreement matches the cap table, or if the board minutes reference a missing loan note.

Creation vs detection

Spellbook uses AI to create new legal language. Colabra uses AI to detect existing legal risk. In M&A diligence, you are not trying to create; you are trying to uncover. You need a forensic tool, not a generative one.
