when the collaborative digital contract drafting process is in a drafting phase:
sending, via the interactive chatbot, a prompt from a process database to the client device;
receiving, via the interactive chatbot, a prompt response, the prompt response provided by a user in response to the prompt;
initiating a user command based on the prompt response;
sending, via the interactive chatbot, the prompt response to a drafting module, when the prompt response is associated with a selection of a template of a digital contract from a contract database or is associated with a modification of a clause of a saved draft of the digital contract;
receiving, via the interactive chatbot, a question associated with the selected template or the modified draft of the digital contract;
polling an education database for educational content based on the question; and
sending, via the interactive chatbot, the educational content to the client device, wherein the education content is a definition of a contract term, and the definition is added to in a definition section of the digital contract; and
