Vesence is an AI assistant for legal, commercial, and business document work.
It works like a junior colleague in a digital workspace.
Vesence can help read materials, find issues, compare information, prepare first drafts, edit documents, summarize threads, review spreadsheets, improve presentations, and organize work.
Vesence is most useful when the relevant context is available, such as contracts, templates, term sheets, emails, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs, Teams messages, or SharePoint files.
What Vesence can help with

- Understand long or complex materials
- Improve language, tone, clarity, and structure
- Check documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and emails before they are used
- Find gaps, inconsistencies, missing information, and open questions
- Compare information across files, versions, emails, and spreadsheets
- Prepare working drafts, summaries, tables, checklists, and issue lists
- Explain difficult content in plain language
- Apply firm style, house style, or project-specific preferences where configured
- Identify where human judgment or missing instructions are needed
Common outputs
Vesence can create working drafts, redlines, summaries, comparison tables, question lists, checklists, email drafts, updated presentations, and updated spreadsheets.

All help articles
The Workspace is where shared materials and outputs live. The Agent is the part of Vesence that carries out the task. Good instructions tell Vesence what to do, which source material to use, and what to create. The web app is best for broad, multi-file work; the Office add-ins are best when the task belongs inside a specific document, workbook, presentation, or email.
