Aline's AI reads inbound requests where they already happen across Slack, email, and chat. It builds a structured plan, checks for duplicates, and launches the right workflow or drafts a new one. No portal. No forms nobody fills out.
Requests come from everywhere: a Slack DM, a forwarded email, a “quick question” in a deal channel, a ticket. No single front door, no owner, no structure. So work falls through the cracks, the same NDA gets started twice, and legal becomes the bottleneck on every deal.
The old fix was a portal: a request form, a queue, an approval matrix. But people don’t leave Slack to fill out a legal form — so the portal stays empty and the real requests keep landing in your DMs. Agentic intake flips it: the AI shows up where the work originates, understands the request, and does something about it.
Ingests Slack and email — thread, history, context — and normalizes it into one structured request. Finds parent-child contract relationships.
Extracts what’s asked and the key entities — counterparty, document, value, jurisdiction. Low confidence? It asks first.
Searches existing work to avoid duplicates, then templates. Strong match launches; no match drafts a new one.
Kicks off the workflow, routes approvals, replies in-channel, and logs every action on a timeline. Escalates to a human in the loop whenever judgment is needed.
A reusable planner-and-subagent architecture — not a one-off Slack bot — so the same intelligence works across web chat, Slack, and email.
Slack, email, and in-app chat, instead of a portal nobody opens.
Every request becomes typed, structured output your team and systems can act on.
Searches existing workflows first, so the same request isn’t started twice.
Launches the right workflow template, or drafts a new one when nothing fits.
Low-confidence requests get a clarifying question, not a wrong guess.
Aline AI can own a workflow task and execute it in a chat thread, with a full activity timeline.
Finally a real intake system, structured, measurable, and actually adopted, because it lives where your stakeholders already are.
Stop being the human router. The repetitive triage gets handled; the judgment calls reach you with full context attached.
Get contracts moving without chasing legal in a thread. Ask in Slack; the workflow starts itself.

Aline is one platform for intake, drafting, redlining, routing, e-signature, and reporting — so the request that starts in Slack ends as a signed, tracked agreement in the same place.

Software that automatically reads inbound requests (Slack, email, or chat), interprets what’s being asked, and starts the right legal workflow — replacing manual intake forms and human routing.
Web-chat intake works today; Slack and email intake are rolling out in early access. Request access and we’ll enable it for your team.
It’s not a single-purpose bot. A reusable planner-and-subagent architecture powers intake across web chat, Slack, and email — so it can understand, route, launch, and draft, not just trigger one canned action.
It searches your existing workflows and templates first. Strong match → it launches a template; no match → it drafts a workflow for review; unsure → it asks. You stay in control.
No. It searches existing work before launching or creating anything.
Aline is the full system for intake, drafting, redlining, routing, e-signature, and reporting — so a request that starts in Slack ends as a signed, tracked agreement in one place.
