Legal operations
AI contract review that respects your legal playbook
Review vendor agreements, NDAs and terms against your team guidelines. Flag non-standard clauses, liability limits and IP risks with full cryptographic audit trails.
Runs today
The job to be done
In-house legal counsels, legal ops managers, and CTOs signing vendor agreements.
Legal teams drown in standard vendor paper. Either high-cost lawyers spend hours reading boilerplate indemnities, or founders sign unknown liabilities to move fast.
How it works
- 1
Agreement uploaded
PDF or DOCX document lands via webhook, Slack attachment, or secure browser upload.
- 2
Clause extraction & analysis
Agent parses clauses, extracting liability caps, governing law, warranties, and IP ownership.
- 3
Policy comparison gate
Checks terms against your team rules. Flags deviations with specific replacement redlines.
- 4
Counsel approval & sign-off
Counsel receives executive summary and annotated diff; approves or edits in one click.

100% BYOK. Zero token markup, zero monthly subscription fees. You pay your model provider directly at raw API rates.
- Zero per-seat markup: flat pricing instead of $1,000s/seat in legacy CLM software.
- BYOK privacy: contracts are processed with your private cloud keys, never stored in vendor databases.
Your API keys are encrypted locally with AES-GCM and never travel to our servers.
See pricingWhere this is not the right fit
- We are not an enterprise CLM: we do not replace complex procurement routing or bespoke CPQ billing systems.
What it handles
Playbook policy matching
Define acceptable liability caps, jurisdiction preferences, and mandatory confidentiality terms.
Redline generation
Produces tracked changes in standard DOCX or markdown format matching team voice.
Client-side AES-GCM encryption
Contract text is analyzed in isolated execution; your API keys and document data never train third-party models.
Cryptographic audit log
Every flagged clause, model suggestion, and human approval is timestamped and signed.
Availability: this workflow is assembled from primitives that ship today. You configure the trigger, the agents and the gate; nothing is hidden behind a feature flag.
Frequently asked questions
Are uploaded contracts stored on your servers?
No. The file is parsed in temporary stateless memory, processed against your own model provider API key, and erased immediately upon completion.
Can I define custom rules for our jurisdiction?
Yes. You can supply your playbook in plain markdown (e.g. Spanish Civil Code, GDPR requirements, Delaware law), and the agent adheres strictly to those clauses.
Does an AI agent sign contracts on our behalf?
Never. The platform enforces human-in-the-loop gates: conclusions and redlines always land with a human lawyer or manager for explicit sign-off.
