Docusign Showcases Next-Gen AI and Agreement Management Innovation at Singapore Momentum Event

SINGAPORE, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Docusign (Nasdaq:DOCU), the Intelligent Agreement Management company, today unveiled new AI-powered tools—including AI Contract Agents and a suite of next-generation offerings—designed to further accelerate contract workflows and drive stronger business outcomes across Asia-Pacific.

Built on Docusign Iris, the company’s AI engine, the tools made their first Asia showcase today at Momentum 25 Singapore. The event brought together innovators, customers, and partners from across the region, setting the stage for Docusign’s vision to transform how organizations create, negotiate, and manage agreements in today’s digital-first economy.

Tailor-made for agreements and backed by Docusign’s two decades of contract expertise, Docusign Iris applies advanced AI models to key stages of the agreement lifecycle—from drafting to reviews—to make processes faster, more accurate, and easier to manage. For businesses operating across a diverse region like Asia Pacific, Iris is built with multi-lingual AI capabilities and is already supporting all English-speaking countries, including Singapore, helping businesses handle cross-border agreements more effectively.

Powered by Iris, new AI Contract Agents will be available in Singapore in 2026. These agents automate time-consuming tasks that previously required days of manual work. For example, a procurement team can instruct an AI agent to analyse vendor risk, cross-check contract terms against legal standards, and flag outdated clauses—all within minutes, with full transparency at every step.

“With Docusign Iris and our new AI Contract Agents, we’re empowering businesses across Asia-Pacific to achieve measurable improvements—from faster deal cycles to stronger compliance and enhanced customer experiences,” said Allan Thygesen, Chief Executive Officer, Docusign. “In a fast-growing yet highly complex region, where diverse cross-border regulations and compliance requirements can slow progress, agentic AI in intelligent agreement management will help organizations move faster and more efficiently to unlock growth.”

The Business Imperative for Agreement Management

Inefficient processes across outdated or disconnected systems lead to delays, compliance risks, and missed opportunities, costing organisations globally an estimated US$2 trillion (S$2.5 trillion) in lost value annually, with Asia Pacific alone accounting for approximately US$600 billion (S$810 billion).

According to the latest Optimising Agreement Management report by Docusign and Deloitte, 77% of high-performing organisations credit effective agreement management with driving success in core business areas, highlighting the strategic importance of modernizing these processes. Leaders surveyed in the study view AI as critical to this transformation, with AI-enabled agreement tools reducing deal delays by 29% in sales, cutting contract compliance risks by 21%, and saving 21% of time in procurement workflows.

Delivering Speed, Accuracy and Transparency Throughout the Agreement Lifecycle

Docusign Iris also brings a suite of new features designed to streamline and enhance every stage of the agreement lifecycle, from contract creation to signing and management.

  • Agreement Desk (April 2026): A centralized collaboration hub where teams can quickly submit contract requests and track progress in real time. Integrated with AI-Assisted Review, teams can use Docusign Iris to identify risky clauses and suggest policy-aligned language directly with Microsoft Word, enabling faster negotiations, quicker deal closures, and smoother supplier onboarding.
  • Workspaces (available December 2025): A secure, all-in-one environment where signers can access documents and tasks for multi-step agreements (e.g., buying a home or opening a bank account) without juggling email chains or scattered forms. This leads to faster closings, improved customer experiences and stronger business relationships.
  • Enhancements to Navigator (available now for all English-speaking countries): Navigator now provides advanced contract insights, dashboards, notifications and reporting powered by Iris, helping businesses monitor obligations and identify risks or opportunities more effectively. Crucial details such as expiration dates, involved parties, and contract types are now surfaced and searchable, a capability that was not previously possible. Businesses can upload contracts, highlight the relevant terms, and have them automatically surfaced in Navigator without the need for coding or developers. In the future, Navigator will also allow businesses to define their own custom terms (e.g., loyalty program details or rental information), further extending its flexibility.

Strengthening Trust and Accelerating Growth in APAC

At the same time, Docusign and Deloitte’s report highlights significant variation in agreement management maturity across the region. While Singapore leads on digital trust—with 89% of local business leaders confident in its agreement governance—it trails markets like Japan and Australia by more than 25 percentage points in AI-driven contract creation maturity. This points to an opportunity for Singaporean businesses to accelerate automation and modernize early-stage workflows to stay competitive.

“Across Asia, business leaders increasingly recognize that agreement processes are no longer inconsequential administrative tasks but are instead emerging as strategic levers for improving efficiency, compliance, and business growth throughout  the agreement lifecycle,” said Kartik Krishnamurthy, Vice President, Asia at Docusign. “The advancement of Docusign Iris and the rollout of enhanced AI-powered features at this year’s Momentum Singapore reflect our commitment to the region, as we help businesses close the gap and keep pace with global standards in AI-driven contract creation and security.”

About Docusign:

Docusign brings agreements to life. More than 1.7 million customers and more than a billion people in over 180 countries use Docusign solutions to accelerate the process of doing business and simplify people’s lives. With intelligent agreement management, Docusign unleashes business-critical data that is trapped inside of documents. Until now, these were disconnected from business systems of record, costing businesses time, money, and opportunity. Using Docusign’s Intelligent Agreement Management platform, companies can create, commit, and manage agreements with solutions created by the #1 company in e-signature and contract lifecycle management (CLM).

PRCA Thailand Conference Reveals Nine in Ten Thais Want Transparency as AI Use Explodes


BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 14 August 2025 – As Thailand accelerates investment in artificial intelligence (AI), new research from PRCA APAC and YouGov reveals that trust is the cornerstone of public acceptance. While there is cautious optimism and strong calls for regulation, the Thai public expects transparency from brands and institutions to build and maintain that trust.

PRCA 1

Presented at the inaugural PRCA Thailand Conference 2025, the study, titled “The Impact of AI on Thai Society”, reveals a complex national picture. While Thailand is emerging as a regional leader in AI, with a USD 15.4 billion investment in infrastructure and a national plan to produce 90,000 AI professionals, the public remains sharply aware of the risks that come with rapid adoption.

Key highlights from the research include:

  • Transparency builds trust: 92% of Thais want brands to disclose AI use. Trust spikes among Gen Z (37%) and young families (31%) when AI use is transparent.
  • Misuse tops concerns: 40% cite AI misuse as their biggest worry, followed by misinformation, deepfakes, privacy, and ethics. Gen X and rural groups are most cautious.
  • AI supports, not replaces: 55% say AI boosts efficiency, but most agree it should enhance—not replace—human creativity.
  • Demand for guidance: Many want practical AI education online and offline, with calls for stronger government regulation on ethics and skills training.

“Trust and transparency aren’t just public expectations, they’re now brand imperatives in the AI era,” said Dr. Karine Lohitnavy, Chair of PRCA Thailand and Founder of Midas PR. “As communicators, we have a vital role to play in bridging the gap between innovation and understanding. That means helping the public make sense of AI’s impact while holding brands accountable to ethical, human-first storytelling.”

Speaker Narongyod Mahittivanicha, Founder of TWF Agency and Vice President of the Artificial Intelligence Association of Thailand, reinforced the irreplaceable role of human creativity in public relations. Referencing a recent viral Coldplay-related campaign known as the “Astronomer CEO” crisis response, he noted that the level of creativity, emotional intelligence, and nuance involved is something AI cannot yet replicate.

In a fireside chat titled “Viva La Press Release! Old Format, New Tech,” Jennifer Kok, Founder and CEO of Media OutReach Newswire, said: “In today’s digital publishing and AI era, press releases play a vital role in driving brand trust through verbatim, guaranteed posting on authoritative news websites. These features give PR professionals the ability to control the narrative of key corporate messages, building brand equity with targeted journalists and media across their chosen markets. The advancements in AI will further empower the public relations industry.”

Panel discussions included leaders from Microsoft Thailand, SCBx, Predictive, and Xponential Co., exploring AI’s real-world applications in PR, brand reputation, and public perception. Moderated by Edelman Thailand’s Vorasit Turongsomboon and digital creator Tossapol Leongsuppon, the panels addressed ethical governance, influencer transparency, and the public’s call for structured AI education and stronger regulation.

Jaruwan Vorarakthananun, Communications Lead at Microsoft Thailand, said: “AI isn’t here to replace communications professionals—it’s here to empower us. Generative AI is still evolving, learning every day. It’s up to us to guide its growth and ensure it truly works for us. Don’t hesitate to adopt AI into your daily work. Treat it as a trusted assistant that helps us work smarter, faster, and with greater impact.”

PRCA 2

The inaugural PRCA Thailand Conference took place on 6 August 2025 at SCBx NEXT Tech, Siam Paragon, bringing together professionals from Thailand’s public relations, business, and technology communities. The conference was supported by Gold Sponsor Media OutReach Newswire and other sponsors, including Edelman Thailand, MIDAS-PR, Moonshot Digital, Vero, SCBX, and YouGov.
