Docusign announced Iris, its AI engine for agreements, at its Momentum conference in New York on May 21, 2026, alongside a new AI assistant, a set of automated agents, and two new vertical platform expansions that push its Intelligent Agreement Management system significantly deeper into sales, HR, and legal workflows.
The core problem Docusign is solving has not changed since its earlier IAM announcement. Contracts being static records scattered across emails, PDFs, and disconnected systems, requiring manual coordination to move forward.
What is new at Momentum is the scope of the solution: Iris now powers a conversational AI assistant that allows teams to ask questions about agreements, surface key terms and obligations, and take action in natural language , alongside agents that automate the monitoring and execution steps that currently require human follow-up.
"Every business runs on agreements, but until now, they've been static records of work," said Allan Thygesen, CEO of Docusign.
"Docusign is the only platform with the full context of your agreement history and relationships, and that's what allows us to turn agreements into something more powerful: systems that can guide business decisions and move work forward."

The first accelerates review, agents can check agreements against company standards, suggest edits, and automatically request the right approvals in minutes rather than the days or weeks manual review typically requires.
The second keeps work moving autonomously, agents monitor contracts in the background, flag risks, track obligations, and trigger next steps without requiring manual follow-up at each stage.
The third is Agent Studio, a workspace where teams can build and deploy custom agents tailored to how they manage deals, renewals, and approvals.
