The problem it solves

Reading through a contract line by line to catch unfavorable terms or missing protections takes real legal knowledge and time you may not have, especially without in-house counsel. A risky clause slipping through can cost you later.

Who it fits

A small team, operations manager, or freelancer who reviews contracts without dedicated legal counsel.

How it works

  1. You upload a PDF contract through a form and select the contract type
  2. The text is extracted from the PDF
  3. Google Gemini reviews the full contract for risky or unfavorable clauses
  4. Each clause gets a severity rating and a suggested fix
  5. Results are logged to Google Sheets, and a Slack alert fires if the risk score is high
What you get

Risky clauses flagged before you sign

You get every contract's risky clauses flagged by severity, logged for you, with a Slack alert on high risk.

What you get

A logged risk analysis of the contract with severity ratings and suggested fixes, plus a Slack alert for high-risk contracts.

What you need

A Google AI Studio API key, a Google Sheets account, and a Slack workspace.

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.
