SmartRoom AI for M&A
Diligence runs on documents. So does the AI in your room.
SmartRoom AI works on the deal file you have already built, and the AI assistant your deal team already uses can now work in the room directly. Both under the permissions your team already has.
Where it fits
Four points in a deal where the document load is heaviest
None of this replaces review. It removes the reading that has to happen before review can start.
Sell-side
Preparing the room
Summarize a folder to see what is in it before buyers do. Compare the current version of an agreement against the one in the index.
Buy-side, in your room
Hosting the target's documents
When you host the room and the target uploads into it, ask a question and get an answer with the source cited, instead of opening files until you find the clause.
Both sides
Running Q&A
AI drafts an answer to an incoming question and routes it to the expert who owns it, to approve, edit or reject.
Through close
Tracking versions
Compare two drafts clause by clause to see what moved between them, and export the result for the file.
Bring the assistant your deal team already uses
MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to the systems where work lives. Analysts and associates can reach the deal room from the assistant they already work in, under their 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 which buyers are engaging with them. 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.
Using Intapp DealCloud? SmartRoom is embedded in the deal record, with room activity reported back to the deal. See the integration
SmartRoom AI, built in
Search the deal file, and summarize it
Two tools that run inside SmartRoom, on the documents in the room. Nothing to connect and nothing to configure.
SmartSearch
Ask the whole room a question
Type a question in plain English and SmartSearch looks across every document you can open in the room. The answer comes back with its sources cited, so you can go straight to the file it came from.
- 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
SmartSummary
A summary, then the questions that follow it
Open a file and SmartSummary gives you an instant summary, then lets you keep asking questions about that document. It now works across an entire folder too, with one consolidated summary for every document in it.
- 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 deal 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.
