🔵 NEO Context: Your Contract Intelligence Superpower

We’re excited to launch 🔵 NEO Context, the newest skill of NEO, turning your contract PDFs into an intelligent, audit-ready knowledge base. 🧠

Before now, Licenseware users could rely on the License and Contracts Manager (LCM) to store and organize all their license agreements, EULAs, NDAs, amendments, price sheets, and other vendor-contract documents. That was a solid centralized repository.

With NEO Context, you don’t just store documents; you make them actionable intelligence. NEO can now scan those documents, locate relevant clauses and definitions, and answer your licensing or contract-related questions based strictly on what’s in those files.

That means compliance, entitlements, termination provisions, usage rights (anything entitlement-related) become instantly queryable, with answers grounded in your actual signed documents, not generic license logic.

How NEO Context Works

NEO Context uses a three-step “Context-Grounded Response Generation” workflow.

1. Search (Retrieve) — NEO scans your uploaded contract library to find the most relevant clauses, definitions or terms.
2. Enhance (Augment) — Your question is combined with the retrieved content, limiting the AI’s reasoning strictly to what exists in your documents.
3. Answer (Generate) — NEO crafts a clear, human-readable answer, with source references (links to the exact clause or section in the PDF) so you can trace back and verify.

That means full auditability, you always know where the answer came from, which is crucial when external auditors or internal compliance reviews ask “Show me the clause.”

What You Get

✅ You can upload contracts directly in LCM: license agreements, order forms, vendor PDFs, amendments, price sheets — all tied to the right contract record in LCM.
✅ Once uploaded, open NEO, select “Context” mode, type your question — no special formatting required. NEO will rely solely on your documents.
✅ If your question can’t be answered from the documents you uploaded, NEO will respond with “No answer,” rather than guess. That ensures you never end up with misinformed interpretations.
✅ Each answer is source-linked, so you (or an auditor) can click directly to the originating clause.

That’s a big step forward from generic license calculators or manual contract reviews.

How NEO Context Fits Into the Bigger Licenseware Ecosystem

NEO Context doesn’t replace your existing Licenseware apps, it complements them. As part of the NEO “skills” stack, it coexists with other capabilities like license analysis, inventory rationalization, compliance reporting, and vendor-specific logic.

For example:

• You store and group all your contract documents in LCM.
• When you need to understand your entitlements, usage rights or audit obligations, you switch to NEO Context and get precise answers drawn from your own documents.
• When you want broader software-estate insight — licensing overlaps, unused licenses, redundant software, other Licenseware apps (SIM, deployment managers, analytics) continue doing heavy lifting.

This modular, on-demand design aligns exactly with Licenseware’s philosophy: you pay only for what you need, and you build a tailored SAM stack for your environment. help.licenseware.io+1

Real Use Cases

✅ Audit preparation: Verify exact license entitlements or usage rights against the signed contract, with clause-level traceability.

✅ Contract review before renewal or renegotiation: Pull up obligations, termination terms, minimum commitments, or penalty clauses — instantly.

✅ Compliance and policy enforcement: Ensure the deployment and use of software complies with your agreements.

✅ Vendor/vendor-lock-in evaluation: Compare contract terms across versions, amendments, or across vendors (if you store multiple contracts in LCM).

✅ Internal knowledge sharing: Teams no longer need to dig through scanned PDFs; NEO Context makes contract knowledge searchable, shareable, and auditable.

What’s Next

NEO Context is just the beginning of what true contract-grounded AI can do for SAM and procurement. As we build out more advanced contract-intelligence capabilities (think clause-risk scoring, automatic alerting on renewals or obligations, bulk contract analysis across your portfolio), having all your contracts already onboarded in LCM + Context will give you a massive head start.

In the meantime: upload your contracts, start asking questions in Context mode, and treat this like building a living, searchable contract knowledge base.

Reach Out for Demo or Access

Want to see NEO Context in action? Reach out to your Licenseware rep for a demo. Or if you already have access, jump into the LCM app, upload a few contracts, switch to NEO → Context, and try asking some real questions.
