An AI contract comparison agent reads each contract and extracts the same set of terms, so that they can be set next to each other in one view.
A person picks two agreements or a draft and a standard.
The agent matches clauses by subject, not page order.
Differences in price, term, liability and exit are listed.
Material gaps are placed ahead of wording changes.
The reviewer decides which differences matter for the choice.
The side-by-side is stored with the deal record.
It aligns clauses that cover the same subject even when they are worded or numbered differently.
It highlights differences that matter, such as a lower cap in one agreement or a longer commitment in another, and notes which are material.
Contracts from different suppliers use different structures and language, so a direct comparison means reading each one fully and building a table by hand.
The same subject sits in different sections under different headings.
Two clauses can mean the same thing or opposite things despite looking alike.
Terms on exit, caps and service levels change the real value.
A spreadsheet built once is not updated after redlines.
Differences in risk terms get less attention.
Confirm which documents are being compared and for what purpose, such as vendor selection or renewal.
Pull the same fields from each document, including fees, term, renewal, liability, termination and data terms.
Match clauses by subject rather than by section number.
Label each difference as favourable, unfavourable or neutral against your position, with quotes.
Produce a table and a short narrative of the differences that affect the decision.
Bring a small sample and watch Flo work through it.
| Aspect | By hand | With the agent |
|---|---|---|
| Alignment | Clauses sit in different orders, so people paste into a grid. | Clauses are matched by subject and shown side by side. |
| Effort | Comparing three vendors takes days of reading. | Each vendor's terms are laid against the same list of topics. |
| Missing clauses | An absent clause is hard to notice. | A topic present in one and missing in another is called out. |
| Wording vs substance | Cosmetic edits hide behind real ones. | Differences are marked as wording only or substantive. |
| Reuse | The comparison lives in a one-off spreadsheet. | The comparison is saved against both contracts. |
| If | Then | Who decides |
|---|---|---|
| one contract has a clause the other lacks | list it as missing and quote the present clause | Reviewer |
| both contracts cover a topic with different outcomes | mark as substantive and show both wordings | Reviewer |
| only defined terms differ | mark as wording but note any downstream effect | Reviewer |
| compared contracts have different structures | match by topic and note unmatched sections | Reviewer |
| a comparison is against a standard form | use the standard as the reference column | Legal counsel |
| one document is a scan with weak text | mark affected rows low confidence | Reviewer |
Two contracts follow different legal systems. The agent flags the difference but does not judge what it means; legal advises.
One vendor uses an order form, another a master agreement. The agent maps the terms by topic and the buyer confirms the mapping.
Contracts are in two languages. The agent notes the language and legal confirms the reading of key clauses.
A term depends on an external policy. The agent notes the reference and a person checks the policy.
Talk it through with the team. We will map it to your steps and show where a person stays in control.
Agree the clauses that matter, such as price, term, liability and exit.
Run it on a live decision and check the grid against a manual read.
Add the standard form as a reference column.
Compare across a category once the grid is trusted.
This shows how complete the comparison is. Low coverage means some contracts are silent on terms others cover, which is itself worth noting.
Quick answers to what people ask most about contract comparison.
Book a demoIt is the side-by-side review of two or more agreements to see where their terms differ, used for vendor selection, renewal and consolidation decisions.

No. It shows the differences and their likely effect. People decide which terms matter most.
The documents and the purpose of the comparison. The agent uses a common set of terms, and you can name extra terms to include.

→Contract summarization is the condensing of an agreement into a short statement of what it covers, what it costs, how long it lasts and what the main obligations and risks are.
