Docusign and Perplexity Team Up to Automate Enterprise-wide Contract Workflows with AI
Docusign has announced a new integration that enables in-house legal teams to automate contract workflows across their entire business using artificial intelligence. The company’s Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) platform is now available for use with Perplexity Computer and its associated tool, Computer for Counsel. This partnership aims to streamline the often laborious process of drafting, reviewing, signing, and managing contracts by leveraging AI-powered automation tools.
The integration uses Docusign’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to connect with Perplexity, allowing legal teams to set objectives using plain language. In response, Docusign can automate contract work from start to finish, reducing the time spent on manual tasks and freeing up resources for more strategic work. This collaboration is particularly beneficial in large enterprises where multiple teams are involved in contracting processes.
Allan Thygesen, CEO of Docusign, emphasized that contracts form a critical part of how businesses operate, with legal teams often stuck juggling multiple tools to manage contract information. By integrating Docusign’s agreement intelligence and workflows directly into the AI tools used by legal teams, the company aims to reduce document management time and enable faster business movement.
Nathan Barksdale, General Counsel at Perplexity, shared his experience with scattered contract work across various tools. He noted that connecting Docusign to Computer means legal teams can automate agreement workflows from end-to-end, allowing them to focus on strategic legal work rather than manual document management tasks.
The integration is powered by the Docusign MCP server and is available today in English globally. This move aligns with Docusign’s mission of bringing agreements to life for nearly 1.9 million customers across more than a billion people in over 180 countries. By leveraging AI-native tools, companies can create, commit, and manage agreements more efficiently.
Docusign has been recognized as one of TIME’s World Most Sustainable Companies 2026, highlighting its commitment to sustainability and business practices that minimize environmental impact.
