FEATURES · SCRIBE
Describe it. Scribe builds it.
Scribe is the AI document builder in Docustay. Tell it what you need. It asks a few clickable questions, writes the document, places every field and sets the payment terms. It drafts. A person sends.
10 AI drafts a month on Free · 100 on Pro
YOU TYPE
A lease addendum for 12 Oak Street, $1,850 a month, starting 1 November.
DOCUMENT
Lease addendumLandlordTenantThe hard rule
AI that drafts, never sends.
A person approves
Nothing leaves the workspace until you read the draft and press send.
The same through MCP
An assistant on the MCP server can prepare documents but cannot send one. A draft-only key makes that a rule, not a promise.
Checked first
Scribe reads a document for missing fields, a signer with no email and terms that contradict each other, and tells you what it found.
Your fields, your words
It uses what you already have.
Your templates
Scribe looks in the template library first, asks that template's own questions and says which one it used.
Your PDFs
Upload a PDF and Scribe reads it, finds where the fields belong and proposes them for you to move or remove.
Your Plays
A Play is a reusable instruction for one kind of document, and a Playbook is a set of them. Your own are on Pro.
Collect a payment
Say what you are collecting. Code places the field.
When Stripe is connected, Scribe's wizard asks for the amount, the currency, who pays and what it is for. The AI drafts the document around those values. Code checks them, writes the payment terms from your own values and places the one payment field.
- The AI never sets an amount. If it writes a payment field of its own, that field is thrown away.
- You review the draft before anything is sent.
- Stripe must be connected first. Payments are powered by Stripe.
- AmountYou type it
- CurrencyYou pick it
- Who paysYou pick them

How it works
From your words to a finished document.
NOTHING IS SENT UNTIL YOU APPROVE IT. SCRIBE CAN MAKE MISTAKES: REVIEW EVERY DOCUMENT.
What Scribe does
What Scribe does for you.
01
Asks
A few questions with two to four options each, so you click instead of typing.
02
Writes
A full document in plain words, in sections you can edit.
03
Places fields
Signature, date and every other field, each given to the right person.
04
Sets payment terms
Amounts and dates, once your Stripe account is connected.
Templates
Start from a template.
Scribe looks in the template library first, asks the template's own questions and says which template it used. Built-in Plays are free; your own Plays and Playbooks are on Pro.
- Pick a built-in template and answer its questions.
- Write your own Plays, and call the library from your code with the API.

Who does what
You decide. Scribe does the typing.
| Step | You | Scribe |
|---|---|---|
| Say what you need | In plain words | Asks a few clickable questions |
| Write the document | Edit any section | Writes it in sections you can change |
| Place the fields | Move or change any of them | Gives each person their signature, date and other fields |
| Send it | Approve it | Never sends by itself |
Scribe is a drafting aid. It is not legal advice, and you review every document before anything is sent.
The questions
What Scribe asks before it writes a word.
| Question | How you answer |
|---|---|
| What is this for, in plain words? | Free text. |
| Who are the parties, and who signs? | Free text. |
| Who signs first? | No order, or one after another in the order listed. |
| What does each side provide? | Free text. |
| Money terms and dates | Free text. Amounts and dates come from you only; anything left out becomes a blank someone fills in. |
| Which state or country's law applies? | Free text. Left blank, it becomes a blank to fill in. |
| What does the signer fill in? | Free text. |
| How long do they have, and when to remind? | Free text. |
Then the questions for the kind of document: an NDA, a lease addendum, a photo release, a services agreement, a contractor agreement, a consent or waiver form, an offer letter or a deposit agreement.
Limits on the assistant
What Scribe never does.
From your code
Ask for a draft and poll for the result.
A draft is a suggestion for a person to read: nothing is saved or sent.
curl -X POST https://docustay.app/api/v1/documents/ai/draft \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $DOCUSTAY_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "prompt": "A one-page services agreement with a client signature", "mode": "template" }'The ask answers 202 with a job id. When the job is done, source is the draft and patches.notes lists what to check. The embedded panel uses a draft-only key that allows 50 drafts a day and ends in an hour.
Your say
Pick a writer, see the price.
Three writers
Plain-language writer (short sentences, no jargon), Careful contract drafter (precise terms, defined words, every risk named) and Quick forms (short forms and notices, fast).
Drafts
Free includes 10 AI drafts a month and Pro includes 100. Past that a draft is $0.30 on a paid plan, shown before you use it.
Ten currencies for payments
The wizard offers usd, eur, gbp, cad, aud, nzd, chf, sek, nok and dkk. A document with a payment can only be sent when Stripe is connected.
