The basics

What is an AI contract intelligence agent?

The contract intelligence agent reads contracts, amendments, order forms and prior versions. It identifies the document type, extracts key terms, reads clauses on liability, indemnity, termination, data and service levels, and compares them with your playbook and clause library. It also compares versions and answers questions across the repository.

Read the full explanation

Reviewers get a short summary, a ranked list of departures and suggested fallback wording, each linked to the clause text. Legal gives the advice, buyers negotiate, owners set the playbook and signatories sign. People review and send any language. The agent stores extracted terms with citations and logs every extraction and comparison it runs.

It highlights clauses on liability, indemnity, termination, data protection and auto-renewal, with the source text.
