The problem it solves

Reading through contracts line by line to catch risky terms takes time you don't have, and it's easy to miss something important buried on page twelve. Without a system to track what's been reviewed, you end up re-reading documents or losing track of what was flagged.

Who it fits

A legal, compliance, or contracts team that reviews agreements regularly.

How it works

  1. You upload a contract PDF.
  2. The system extracts and cleans up the text from the document.
  3. AI summarizes the content and flags risky clauses or key terms.
  4. A formatted summary is emailed to you through Gmail.
  5. The results are logged in Google Sheets for record-keeping.
What you get

Risky clauses flagged before you sign

You get an emailed summary of each contract with risky clauses flagged and a logged record for tracking, ready for your review.

What you get

An emailed contract summary with risky clauses flagged, plus a logged record in Google Sheets.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, a Gmail account, and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
