Contract Agent

Understand a 40 page order form in the time it takes to read one.

Upload any contract, master agreement or statement of work. It opens as pages with every change worth asking for marked where it sits, priced and explained, and the terms judged against the market. Approve a change into the redline, reword it, or set it aside, then take the redlined file and a clean copy out.

The problem

The leverage in an enterprise agreement hides in the clauses nobody has time to read: the deemed-acceptance window, the uncapped time-and-materials, the data-incident carve-out. The rep is counting on you signing before you find them. The Contract Agent finds them and drafts the pushback.

How it works

One upload. Every change marked. A redline out.

Drop the paper anywhere; the desk reads what it is and offers the engine built for it.

Drop anywhere
Drop anything, get a first read

A quote, a contract, an invoice, a master agreement. Drop it on any screen: the desk offers the engines built for it, and the read lands in about a minute.

Contract Agent
Every change, marked on the page

Each suggested change sits on the page it belongs to: the language to ask for, what the change is worth, and the term against the market. Approve it into the redline, reword it, or set it aside.

Statements of work
The change orders before you sign

Buyer-side review of a consulting or SI statement of work: scope leaks, deemed acceptance, junior-heavy staffing, uncapped time and materials, each answered with paste-ready language.

Master agreements
The redlines, already drafted

The buyer-side legal read of any master agreement: the liability cap and its carve-outs, the data-incident super-cap, IP indemnity, and termination, every deviation drafted as a redline against market positions.

The AI underneath

One agent, three buyer-side lenses.

The Contract Agent runs one pipeline tuned by document kind, so a contract, an SOW, and an MSA each get a review tuned to how that document actually hurts a buyer. Every reading is grounded in stored benchmarks and your own contract policy, and every ask is paste-ready, not a vague suggestion.

Classification
It knows what it is looking at
The pipeline reads what the document is and tunes the review to it, so an invoice gets invoice intelligence and a master agreement gets the buyer-side legal read.
Plain-English + asks
Meaning, then the move
Each clause is translated out of legalese and paired with a paste-ready ask, so you understand the term and have the pushback in the same view.
Benchmarked verdict
Judged against the market
Terms are scored against market positions and your contract policy, so the verdict says favorable, caution, or risk with a reason, not a generic flag.

How it's built

Buyer-side by construction.

Everything about the Contract Agent is built to serve the buyer, from the prompt to the storage.

1
A parameterized decode pipeline

One pipeline handles contract, SOW, and MSA by document kind, each with its own system prompt and copy, so adding a document family is a configuration, not a rewrite, and the quality bar stays even across all three.

2
Grounded in your positions

Asks and verdicts reference your contract policy’s language and the market benchmark, so the pushback argues your standard, not a textbook one.

3
A redlined file and a clean copy

Asks come ready to send, and the approved changes export as a redlined Word file beside a clean copy, so legal gets a markup of the vendor’s own paper, not a list of concerns.

4
Private storage and signed URLs

Uploads land in private buckets with no public URLs, are checked on type, size, and signature, and are reachable only through short-lived signed links.

5
A free public front door

The public decode runs without an account behind a middleware allowlist, so a buyer can understand a contract before they ever sign up, then unlock the benchmarked depth with their own data.

The Contract Agent on a statement of work, flagging scope leaks and uncapped time and materials
On a statement of work, it reads the assumptions that become change orders.
The Contract Agent on a master agreement, drafting redlines against market positions
On a master agreement, it hands legal the redlines, already benchmarked.
Contract Reader open on a sample contract, with the clause outline, the document, and the terms it read
The Contract Reader opens the document itself: its clauses as an outline, the terms it read beside it, and find, marks and citations on every line. A new workspace can try it on the sample contracts before uploading anything.
Time back

Read the order form once, not the weekend.

A careful buyer-side read of a master agreement or a big SOW is a lawyer’s afternoon and a specialist’s knowledge of where the traps sit. The Contract Agent does the first pass and hands legal a drafted markup.

Why nothing else does this

A benchmarked, buyer-side read, not a generic summary.

Plenty of tools will summarize a contract. Almost none know what fair looks like or draft the pushback.

General AI summarizers
A summary is not a position

A generic model tells you what a clause says. The Contract Agent tells you whether it is favorable, caution, or risk against the market, and hands you the paste-ready ask to fix it.

Outside counsel review
A fee and a week per document

A law firm read is thorough and expensive and slow. The Contract Agent does the first pass and gives counsel a drafted redline to sharpen, not a blank document.

Vendor-supplied playback
The rep explains their own paper

The rep’s walkthrough serves the rep. A buyer-side engine, grounded in your contract policy, reads the same paper for you.

What it is worth

Business value, and the operational value under it.

One line for the board paper, and the day to day the team actually feels.

Business value
  • Fewer surprises after signing: the deemed-acceptance windows and uncapped exposures are caught before the invoice, not after.
  • Stronger legal outcomes because counsel starts from a benchmarked redline, not a cold read.
  • A free front door that turns understanding into a qualified sign-up.
  • Consistent buyer-side standards applied to every document, regardless of who reviews it.
Operational value
  • A one-minute first read on any document, with no decision about which tool to open.
  • Paste-ready asks and a redlined file with a clean copy, so the output goes straight into the negotiation or to legal.
  • One pipeline covering contracts, SOWs, and master agreements, learned once.
  • A benchmarked verdict that tells the team where to spend the careful reading time.
