Legal
Two parties, one draft, and an AI counsel in the middle.
A video call where Counsel sits between you: it listens to both sides, takes the draft you already have or writes a new one from what it hears, reads any clause aloud with the words lighting up on everyone's screen as it goes, and proposes wording as a redline that only applies when both parties accept. It knows who is speaking because each microphone reaches TeamMeet on its own connection — no guessing.
The honest line. Counsel is an AI, not a lawyer, and nothing it says is legal advice. It drafts, explains, reads, and keeps an exact record of what the two of you agreed — and it says so itself, once, at the start of every call. Both parties see everything it proposes; nothing changes in the document unless both press Accept. Have a licensed attorney review anything before it is signed.
How a legal call works
Open the room, bring the draft
Start a legal call and send the other party the link. Drop in a .docx, .pdf, .txt or .md and it is on both screens in numbered sections — or start with nothing and let Counsel draft from the conversation.
Call Counsel in
The host presses one button. Counsel joins as a listed participant, greets both parties by name, says that it is an AI and not a lawyer, and asks what you are here to agree. It listens more than it talks.
Read, redline, accept
Ask for any clause and Counsel reads it word for word while the text lights up. When it proposes wording, both parties see the redline with a reason, and each presses Accept or Decline. The result downloads as Word, Markdown or text.
What it looks like while Counsel reads
Each party shall keep the other party's Confidential Information in confidence, shall use it only for the Purpose, and shall not disclose it to any third party except to its employees and advisers who need to know it for the Purpose and are bound by obligations of confidentiality no less protective than these.
The highlight follows Counsel's voice through the clause on every screen in the room, so both parties are looking at the same words it is saying. It reads the text exactly as written; it does not paraphrase while reading.
What Counsel can do
With the document
- Take an existing draft — .docx, .pdf, .txt or .md — and work it section by section.
- Draft a new one from what both parties say: an NDA, a services agreement, a term sheet, a settlement — with blanks left where nobody has said.
- Read any clause aloud, word for word, the words lit up on screen as it speaks.
- Propose a redline: reword, add or strike a section, with a one-sentence neutral reason naming what each party said.
- Record positions beside the clause, and mark a section agreed when both parties have said so.
With the people
- Hears both parties and is told who is speaking as it changes, because each microphone is its own connection.
- Even-handed: it is nobody's lawyer. It asks one question at a time, uses names, and stops the moment anyone talks over it.
- Never applies a change. Both parties press Accept, or nothing happens. The record says who accepted what and when.
- Listed and removable like every agent on TeamMeet: it is in the member list, and the host dismisses it with one press.
- Everything else still works — the per-speaker transcript, the recap, recording, the chat and your own notes.
What it costs
Counsel is metered in minutes per calendar month, per plan. The call itself, the document pane and the downloads are on every plan, whether Counsel is in the call or not.
A sitting ends after two hours and can be started again. Nothing is charged automatically; when the month's minutes are used, Counsel leaves and the pane keeps working. All plans →
Questions
Is Counsel a lawyer?
No. Counsel is an AI, and nothing it says is legal advice. It drafts, explains, reads the document aloud and keeps an exact record of what both parties agreed. It says so itself, once, at the start of every call. Have a licensed attorney review anything before it is signed.
How does Counsel hear two parties on one call?
Each participant's microphone reaches TeamMeet on its own connection, so the server knows whose voice is whose and tells Counsel who is speaking whenever that changes. The transcript stays per-microphone throughout. Counsel's own voice is a third participant, listed in the room like any agent, with a switch to remove it.
Can Counsel change the document?
It can only propose. A proposal appears on both screens as a redline with a one-sentence reason; it is applied when both parties press Accept and dropped when either declines. The record keeps who accepted what and when. Counsel can also draft a new document from what it heard, which the parties then review the same way.
What does a legal call cost?
Each plan carries Counsel minutes per month: 30 on Free, 240 on Pro, 480 per seat on Enterprise. The allowance resets on the 1st; a sitting ends after two hours and can be started again; nothing is charged automatically. The call, the document pane and the download work on every plan whether Counsel is in the call or not.
Where does the document go afterwards?
It stays with the room, versioned, until the room is cleared, and anyone in the room can download it as Word, Markdown or plain text at any point. The voice model hears the audio of the call and the text of the document while Counsel is in the call; nothing is kept there afterwards.
Which model is behind Counsel?
OpenAI's GPT-Live, a full-duplex speech model, for the voice — it listens and talks at once, so it can be interrupted — with a larger model behind it for reading, drafting and the tools. TeamMeet runs the audio mixing, the attribution of who is speaking, the document and the highlight itself.
