    • QUOTE: "AI Compare Summaries (see pdf attached). Using a mix of our proprietary parsing algorithms and large language models, we create a cover page summarizing changes in bullets. The goal is to provide a high level summary similar to what a lawyer may provide a colleague or client. Macro's document compare feature is already the best on the market, and soon it will be the smartest. Want to join the beta? Leave a comment below. This AI relies on our handcrafted document diff algorithm which is an engineering masterpiece. We co-developed the algorithm with some of the top global law firms. It maintains the same red/blue/green style users expect from the prior generation of tools but is fast, accurate, and can merge in edits from multiple authors and run many redlines at a time (e.g. 5 original to 5 changes)."
