Short answer

How can I use AI to check contracts against my playbook?

Your AI compares an incoming contract to your established legal standards and flags any non-compliant clauses. You get a clear breakdown of risks and deviations that need your attention.

Where every issue lands.

The audit outcomes

The AI categorizes every finding so you know exactly where to focus your review.

RISK

High risk deviations

The AI identifies clauses that directly violate your playbook. These show up as critical items requiring immediate negotiation.

MISSING

Omitted protections

The AI flags where your required standard clauses are completely absent from the incoming document.

REVIEW

Human decision points

The AI highlights ambiguous language that falls outside standard rules. You decide if these nuances are acceptable.

LOG

Audit trail

Every flagged deviation is recorded. You get a structured list of why a specific clause failed the playbook check.

The workflow

What your AI does when a new contract arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of reading and comparing, leaving you to handle the legal strategy.

  1. Ingest the agreement

    The AI pulls the text from your incoming contract to prepare it for analysis.

FAQ

How the audit works

  • 01

    No. The AI only identifies and flags deviations. You must manually edit the document to fix issues.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete my legal playbooks?

    No. The AI only reads your playbooks to perform comparisons; it has no capability to modify or delete your files.

  • 03

    What happens if a clause is missing entirely?

    The AI flags the absence of required clauses as a deviation from your playbook.

  • 04

    Can I use this with any document type?

    The AI works with documents you upload through the specific upload tool.

  • 05

    Does the AI make the final legal decision?

    No. The AI provides the risk assessment, but you are responsible for reviewing the findings and making the final call.
