Use cases

Document automation
for your legal product

Tiptap is an editor and document framework that integrates into your software. Develop an legal editor product that supports DOCX, redlining, AI collaboration and complete auditing workflows.

The challenge

Legal workflows depend on MS Word
but current tools create friction.

DOCX is how legal documents travel between parties. But Word sits outside your product. So users draft in your platform, export to Word for review, collect feedback over email, and paste changes back manually.

  • Documents remain unstructured and difficult to automate
  • Collaboration happens outside your platform
  • Formatting breaks during import/export
  • Generic AI lacks understanding of clauses and numbering
  • Review cycles rely on email or separate documents
  • No audit trails or compliance integration
  • Custom logic, workflows, and UIs are impossible inside Word
  • Server-side document analysis is slow or inconsistent

To modernize legal workflows, the document workflow must move into your product – not live around it. Tiptap provides the foundation to make that possible.
