LinkSquares Adds Natural-Language Workflow Builder to CLM Platform

Plain-language automation for contract workflows

LinkSquares has released two new capabilities designed to simplify how legal and business teams build contract automation: Workflow Builder Agent and Workflow Blueprints. Both tools are part of the company's contract lifecycle management platform and focus on eliminating the technical barriers that typically slow workflow creation.

Instead of manually configuring steps, approval paths, and routing logic, users can now describe their desired process in plain English. The AI agent interprets those instructions and generates a structured workflow complete with dependencies and conditional routing. Teams retain the ability to review, modify, and refine the configuration before deploying it.

Workflow Blueprints offer an alternative starting point. Rather than building from scratch or relying entirely on natural-language generation, teams can select from pre-built templates covering common contract scenarios on both the buy side and sell side. These templates can then be customized to match specific organizational policies and approval hierarchies.

Addressing complexity in contract approvals

Contract approval processes rarely follow a single linear path. Requirements often shift based on agreement type, contract value, business unit, vendor risk profile, or data sensitivity. LinkSquares positions its workflow system as capable of handling this variability through flexible conditions, range-based routing, and granular access controls.

The company emphasizes that legal teams maintain governance throughout. Users can determine who is permitted to launch specific workflows, review AI-generated configurations before publication, and make adjustments as business policies evolve. The conversational interface allows teams to request changes without rebuilding the entire automation.

This approach is particularly relevant for in-house legal operations teams that may lack dedicated workflow administrators or rely on external consultants to configure complex automation. By moving configuration into plain language, LinkSquares aims to put workflow design directly in the hands of the people who understand the underlying legal and business requirements.

Why it matters

Contract lifecycle management systems have historically required significant technical expertise to implement and maintain. When legal teams need to encode nuanced approval policies into software, they often face a choice: simplify their governance requirements to fit the tool's limitations, or invest heavily in specialized configuration resources. Natural-language workflow generation could lower that barrier, making sophisticated contract automation accessible to organizations that understand their processes but lack deep technical CLM expertise. The shift also reflects a broader trend in enterprise AI toward agentic systems that execute work rather than simply surfacing information.

Broader platform strategy

LinkSquares serves more than 1,200 customers, including DraftKings, ProPharma, and TIME. The company's platform uses AI across the contract lifecycle to manage agreements, extract information, analyze terms, and automate legal workflows. Workflow Builder Agent and Blueprints extend that strategy into the design layer itself, applying agentic AI to the processes through which contracts are reviewed and approved.

Andrew Leverone, chief product officer at LinkSquares, framed the release as a shift in how users interact with CLM software. "Legal teams already understand the policies and processes that keep their businesses moving," he said. "They shouldn't also have to become workflow configuration experts to automate them."
