Big news—2025 Release 1 is here. This major update to the Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) platform is all about helping you work smarter, move faster, and uncover deeper insights from your agreements. 

With powerful new features—from collaborative agreement creation to AI-assisted extractions and deeper integrations—this release is designed to eliminate inefficiencies and unlock new opportunities across the entire agreement lifecycle.

✍️ Key takeaways:

  • Work smarter, not harder: Save time and simplify complex workflows with new tools like Workspaces, Agreement Prep, and the beta launch of Agreement Desk.

  • Use AI to drive real impact: The new AI engine, Docusign Iris, helps you extract agreement data at scale, manage obligations automatically, and gain insights across the agreement lifecycle.

  • Reach signers faster: Use multi-channel delivery via SMS and WhatsApp to keep participants in the loop and reduce delays throughout the agreement process.

  • Make your systems work harder for you: New integrations with Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, and Coupa bring agreement insights and workflows into the tools your teams already use.

This is exciting news—great to see DocuSign Workspaces now officially released!

 

We had the opportunity to participate in the beta testing of what was previously called Transaction Spaces, and worked closely with Teri Blair who is Docusign Principal Onboarding Consultant during that phase. The experience gave us an early look into how Workspaces can streamline multi-envelope coordination, especially for cases involving the same recipient across multiple agreements.

 

We’re truly happy to see the functionality now live, and we’re continuing to participate in other beta programs as well. It’s always encouraging to see DocuSign rolling out new features that address real-world customer needs. Looking forward to more innovation ahead!

Well, I was not able to attend Momentum 25, but I am quite excited about the new DocuSign Iris AI engine. 🤠

  • Where are you most excited to see AI reduce manual effort in your agreement process?

I see AI reduce manual effort in the agreement process, I believe AI will greatly streamline tasks such as document review, and compliance checks. I’m curious, though—what AI technology or engine was used before Iris? How does it compare to the new system in terms of capabilities and efficiency?"😊

@Pawan Gangwani Great question about Iris! what we used to call “Docusign AI” is now Iris. More than a name change, it’s a major upgrade to our AI infrastructure in the IAM platform. With Iris, we’re rolling out two big improvements: smarter, fine-tuned models and intelligent routing that automatically sends each request to the best model for the job. That means more accuracy and support for some exciting new use cases, like custom extractions, obligation management, and AI-assisted reviews right in Agreement Desk.

The previews look very interesting. Especially the AI support has a lot of potential. I hope that Iris will also work equally well in languages other than English. I'm eager to learn more about it :)
