SmartRoom AI for Corporate Development
One team, many deals. AI in every room you run.
SmartRoom AI works on the rooms your corporate development team runs, from acquisitions to divestitures to integration, and the AI assistant your team already uses can now work in them directly. Both under the permissions your team already has.
Where it fits
Four kinds of room a corporate development team runs
Each one is a room your team owns, and each one carries a different kind of document load.
Acquisitions
Running diligence in your own room
Many acquirers host the room and ask the target to upload into it. Summarize what arrives, folder by folder, and compare versions as documents are replaced.
Internal review
Bringing in legal, finance and HR
Each reviewer sees only the folders you open to them, and the AI and the connector work under those same permissions, person by person.
Divestitures
Selling a division
When you are the seller, AI drafts answers to incoming buyer questions and routes each one to the expert who owns it, to approve, edit or reject.
After close
Handing over to integration
The diligence record stays open to the integration team. Reorganize it into integration folders, and see who has been working in it.
Bring the assistant your team already uses
MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to the systems where work lives. Your team can reach its rooms from the assistant it already works in, under its own SmartRoom permissions.
Whichever assistant your firm has approved, including Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot and others.
Four things it can do
Find and browse
List your rooms, walk the folder tree, and search file and folder names.
Organize content
Create, rename, move, sort and delete folders and files by asking.
Run Q&A
Read questions, draft answers, and submit them for review.
See activity
Pull view, download and print history for a room, folder or file.
Plus secure download and upload links, and links that open any file straight in the SmartRoom viewer.
Try asking
Your permissions travel with you.
The connector never grants access beyond what your SmartRoom account already has, and only rooms enabled for MCP can be reached. If a person cannot open a document today, neither can their assistant.
The AI in your CRM
Augment the AI your team already runs in its CRM
Your CRM holds the relationships and the pipeline. SmartRoom holds the documents, and the record of who is engaging with them, inside and outside the company. Connect the two, and the AI working in your CRM has more of the deal to work with.
Your CRM
- Relationships and coverage
- Pipeline and mandates
- The AI your team runs in it
- Documents, Q&A and versions
- Permissions, file by file
- Who opened what, and when
Where the AI in your CRM supports MCP, it reaches the room under each user's own SmartRoom permissions.
Your CRM's contacts, in the room
Import users straight from your CRM, so the people in the room are the people you already track, without rebuilding the list by hand.
Your CRM's AI, connected to the room
The SmartRoom MCP connector works with MCP-compatible AI. Where the AI in your CRM supports MCP, it can reach the room directly, under each user's own permissions.
An open API for everything else
SmartRoom's API connects other applications to the room, so the systems your team already runs on can work with it too.

SmartRoom AI, built in
Search the room, and summarize what is in it
Two tools that run inside SmartRoom, on the documents in the rooms your team runs. Nothing to connect and nothing to configure.
SmartSearch
Answer the steering committee's question
Executive questions on a deal tend to arrive one at a time. Ask SmartSearch in plain English and it looks across every document you can open in the room, returning an answer with its sources cited, so your team can check it before it goes up the line.
- Plain-English questions, across the entire room
- Answers cite the documents they came from
- Only searches what your permissions already allow
- Export any answer to Excel or PDF for the file
SmartSummary
Brief a reviewer before they open the folder
When legal, finance or HR join a deal, they inherit a folder of documents they have never seen. SmartSummary gives them an instant summary of any file and takes follow-up questions on it, and it now summarizes a whole folder at once.
- An instant summary of any single document
- Follow-up questions on the same file
- New: one summary across a whole folder
- Runs inside SmartRoom, on documents you can already open
What SmartRoom AI does today
Six capabilities, built into the room
Three of them are new this quarter. More detail on all six is on the AI tools page.
Summarize an entire folder
One consolidated summary across every document in the folder.
Compare two documents
See what changed between two versions, clause by clause.
A starting point for review, not a substitute for legal review.
Auto-answer Q&A
AI drafts the answer, your subject-matter expert approves it.
Understand a single document
Open a file and get an instant summary, then ask questions.
Search the whole room
Ask in plain English, and get answers with source citations.
Export AI results
Send any answer out to Excel or PDF.
Built with the controls you already rely on
The connector and the built-in AI are secured differently, and it is worth being precise about which claim applies to which.
The MCP connector
Your permissions travel with you
The connector never grants access beyond what your SmartRoom account already has, and only rooms enabled for MCP can be reached. When your team connects its own assistant, that assistant reads documents under your firm's own agreement with its provider.
SmartRoom AI, built in
Processing stays inside SmartRoom
The built-in tools read only what you can already open, and your documents are never used to train AI models. SmartRoom AI is off by default, and switched on per room at your request.
- AI reads only what you can already open.
- Auto-answer drafts go to your reviewer to approve or reject.
- AI is switched on per room, never by default.
AI results may be incomplete and should be independently verified. Document comparison is a starting point for review, not a substitute for legal review.
