Welcome to What's New in Ironclad: May 2026! This special edition introduces the Renewal Agent, a focused update designed to help teams stay ahead of upcoming vendor renewals with less manual work.
Renewal Agent
The Renewal Agent scans upcoming buy-side contract renewals in the Vendor Renewals view on your Dashboard to provide key context in the form of Renewal Briefs. After reviewing a brief, users will be able to launch renewal workflows directly from the Renewal Brief overview panel.
With each Renewal Brief, teams can quickly review:
- A summary of what the contract covers and how it’s used.
- The likely business owner or internal contact responsible for the contract.
- Cost savings opportunities identified by the Cost Savings Agent, such as expiring discounts, underused minimums, and pricing anomalies.
- Vendor health insights that highlight vendor reliability and risk.
Starting May 15, 2026 through July 1, 2026, the Renewal Agent will be available as a free, uncapped trial for all Editions customers.
After July 1, 2026, using the Renewal Agent will require AI Credits.
