AI for HR: Improve Policies, Compliance, Investigations and Drafting with Contract Cloud
HR work is demanding. The team must interpret policies, manage performance issues, run investigations, handle grievances, navigate restructures, and maintain accurate records that may be reviewed years later by auditors, regulators or tribunals. At the same time, HR sits in the middle of corporate compliance , legal compliance and employee experience . Contract Cloud is built for that purpose. It is 100 percent Australian owned , keeps data in Australia, and uses retrieval a

AI and RFPs: How Contract Cloud Transforms Procurement From First Draft To Ongoing Management
RFPs are demanding. Procurement must coordinate business input, capture detailed requirements, keep responses aligned with policy, negotiate departures and then manage the contract for years afterwards. AI can remove much of the manual effort from that process, provided it is grounded in your own documents, policies and risk settings rather than generic internet content. Contract Cloud is designed for that purpose. It uses AI with retrieval augmented generation ( RAG ), keeps

AI Hallucinations: Why They Happen and How to Prevent Them
What Are AI Hallucinations? In artificial intelligence, a hallucination occurs when an AI system produces information that appears confident and factual, but is incorrect, fabricated, or misleading. These hallucinations are not deliberate falsehoods. They are a by-product of how large language models (LLMs) work: by predicting likely word sequences based on patterns in their training data. When the model lacks the right information or context, it still generates an answer, b

How Connectors Work: Linking AI Tools to Your Data
What Are AI Connectors? Connectors are secure integrations that allow AI systems to interact with data stored in your existing platforms, without you having to move, upload, or duplicate it. They act as bridges between your AI environment and your organisation’s existing systems such as email, document repositories, or collaboration tools. Through connectors, an AI system can: Search and retrieve contracts, policies, or reports. Summarise email threads and extract attachmen

Drafting Legal Documents Effectively with AI: Balancing Precision, Speed, and Risk Management
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping how lawyers approach drafting. Traditionally, drafting began with precedent libraries or templates. Now, advanced AI tools can understand context, tone, and intent, making it possible to generate first drafts from scratch that are structured, consistent, and legally coherent. However, the key to effective AI drafting lies in control : providing clear, layered instructions that tell the AI what to produce, how to phrase it, and what le

Fine-Tuning vs Prompt Engineering: Which Matters More for Effective AI Performance
Artificial intelligence models can behave very differently depending on how they are guided and trained. Two main approaches shape their performance, fine-tuning and prompt engineering . Both can significantly improve results, but they operate at different levels and serve different purposes. Fine-tuning changes the model itself. Prompt engineering changes how you communicate with it. What is Fine-Tuning? Fine-tuning involves retraining an existing AI model on new, specialis

How Artificial Intelligence Works: An Educational Overview
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to computer systems designed to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as recognising patterns, making predictions, and generating text or images. While the concept can appear abstract, AI is grounded in mathematics, data, and logic rather than mystery. Understanding how it works helps demystify why it has become so powerful and widely used. The Core Idea At its heart, AI is about learning from data. Every AI system re
