How it works

From change request to signed amendment, in hours, not weeks.

Open Zycus Merlin Intake inside MS Teams, Slack, or the web. Type what you need. Agentic AI handles the rest.

Step two

Skip the search - AI finds the contract.

Agentic AI identifies the right contract from your repository, pulls up the relevant clauses, and shows the current terms - so you can confirm what you're amending before anything changes.

  • AI finds the original contract from your iContract repository
  • Surfaces the clauses affected by the requested change
  • Current terms displayed for confirmation

See exactly what's changing - redlined for you.

Agentic AI generates the amendment showing what's being added, removed, and modified. Every change is tracked. Pricing, term impact, and downstream effects (POs, renewals) are flagged automatically.

  • Full redline of every clause being modified
  • Pricing recalculated and term impact surfaced
