Automatically audit contract risk and alert Slack or email

AI reviews every contract for risk and compliance issues, then automatically alerts your team when something needs attention.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per one per contract; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

Reviewing every contract for risky clauses and compliance gaps eats up hours your legal or procurement team doesn't have. High-risk issues can sit unnoticed until they become expensive problems, and low-priority contracts still need someone to check them.

Who it fits

A legal, procurement, or compliance team that reviews contracts on a recurring schedule.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system pulls in a batch of contracts to review
  2. An AI agent checks each contract for validity and flags issues
  3. A second AI agent assesses risk level and checks compliance requirements
  4. Contracts are sorted into low, medium, or high risk
  5. High-risk contracts trigger a Slack alert and an email escalation, while everything is logged for the audit trail
What you get

Contracts flagged before a compliance problem hits

You get every contract screened for risk and compliance issues, with high-risk ones escalated straight to your team.

What you get

A risk-scored audit log plus instant Slack and email alerts for high-risk contracts.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, a Slack workspace, and an email account like Gmail.

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.
