Ask iManage - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Ask iManage is a cloud-based generative AI natural language assistant built natively into iManage Work 10, available exclusively on the cloudimanage.com endpoint as an add-on to a standard iManage Cloud subscription. Designed for legal professionals at law firms and corporate legal departments, as well as financial services, accountancy, and other knowledge-centric organizations, it transforms the iManage document management system from a passive repository into an active, AI-enabled knowledge layer. Users can search the full iManage Work repository using natural language, interact with documents and emails, and receive cited, structured answers grounded in governed organizational content, without pre-selecting files or writing prompts.

Core capabilities include document summarization, clause extraction, compliance analysis, and AI-powered redline analysis with plain-language change summaries, risk profiling, and impact assessment. The Ask Across feature supports multi-document processing at scale (50 to 50,000 documents), enabling simultaneous extraction of consistent answers across document sets for due diligence, portfolio reviews, and compliance projects. A guided actions interface (Overview, Extract, Summarize, Analyze) and a reusable, customizable question library with dynamic, context-aware prompt suggestions make the toolset accessible to users without prompt engineering expertise. A Chronology action automatically organizes document events into citation-backed timelines, and structured data extraction outputs results into tables compatible with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook.

All AI processing remains within the iManage platform, preserving existing security, permissions, ethical walls, and governance policies. Customer content is never used to train or retrain AI models and remains encrypted on the platform. Activity tracking via document Timeline provides team-level visibility into document analysis work. The platform also supports integration with Microsoft Copilot and third-party AI tools via Model Context Protocol (MCP), and prior sessions and document collections can be saved and revisited through Ask iManage History.
