An AI contract obligation extraction agent reads the agreement and picks out duties placed on your side and on the supplier, such as reporting, notices, audits, insurance and minimum purchases.
The agent reads the executed agreement and schedules.
Commitments are identified by clause and by party.
Each gets a type, an owner side and a due trigger.
A list of obligations is assembled.
The contract owner confirms and assigns internal owners.
Confirmed duties are saved against the contract.
For each it records the responsible party, the action, the trigger or deadline and the clause it came from.
It separates one-off duties from recurring ones and marks those with a date, so they can be tracked once confirmed.
Obligations are scattered through contracts in ordinary sentences, not in a list. Once signed, the document is filed and its duties are forgotten until someone is in breach.
They sit inside clauses on every topic.
Teams note what the vendor owes and miss what they owe.
A duty may arise only after an event.
The original list is wrong after a change.
Without an owner, no one acts on it.
Cover the body, schedules and amendments so that conditional and referenced duties are included.
Pick out sentences that create a duty, a deadline or a limit on either party.
Record the party, action, trigger, due date or frequency, and the source clause.
Group them as one-off, recurring, event-driven or ongoing restrictions.
Send the list to the contract owner to confirm, correct and assign.

| Aspect | By hand | With the agent |
|---|---|---|
| Finding duties | Obligations hide in prose across clauses. | Duties are pulled from body text and schedules. |
| Who owes | Which party owes what is unclear. | Each duty is tagged as ours, theirs or shared. |
| Triggers | Due events are not recorded. | Each duty has a trigger or date where one exists. |
| Completeness | Readers stop after the key clauses. | The whole document is read, including schedules. |
| Handover | Obligations stay with the negotiator. | A register is passed to the people who must act. |
| If | Then | Who decides |
|---|---|---|
| a clause starts with 'the customer shall' | tag as our obligation | Contract owner |
| a clause starts with 'the supplier shall' | tag as vendor obligation | Contract owner |
| a duty depends on an event | record the trigger | Contract owner |
| the duty is stated in vague terms | flag as unclear | Legal counsel |
| a duty sits in a schedule | extract and cite the schedule | Contract administrator |
| the same duty appears twice | merge and cite both | Contract administrator |
One clause binds both sides. The agent splits it into two entries and the owner checks.
A duty applies only if usage exceeds a level. The agent records the condition and the owner confirms.
A duty points to a vendor policy. The agent lists the reference and a person captures the policy.
An amendment adds a duty. The agent updates the register and notes the source.
