Let industry professionals give you some inspo: — Adobe Acrobat (@Acrobat) February 4, 2025 "We are introducing new capabilities to deliver contract intelligence in Adobe AI Assistant, making it easier for customers to understand and compare these complex documents while providing citations to help them verify responses—all while keeping their data safe," said Abhigyan Modi, senior vice president of Adobe Document Cloud. The highlights of the Acrobat AI Assistant include contract intelligence, straightforward explanations, comparison and contrast features, and secure sharing and signing capabilities.
