Short answer

How can I use AI to audit contract changes?

Your AI uses the compare_texts tool to scan two documents and identify every modification. You get a clear list of added, removed, or altered text. This allows you to spot sneaky clause changes without reading every line manually.

Where the changes land.

The audit outcomes.

The AI processes the files and organizes the output into these specific views.

DIFFS

Exact text changes

The AI identifies every character-level difference. You see exactly which words were swapped or deleted.

CLAUSES

Structural shifts

The AI flags when entire sections or clauses have moved or been added. This highlights changes in the contract's logic.

HUMAN

Legal review

The AI highlights the discrepancies, but you must decide if the changes are acceptable. The final judgment stays with you.

SUMMARY

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change the contract for me?

    No. The AI only identifies and reports the differences between the two files you provide.

  • 02

    Does the AI catch tiny punctuation changes?

    Yes. The comparison tool looks at the text at a granular level to find even small edits.

  • 03

    Will the AI automatically sign the document?

    No. The AI has no capability to execute or sign legal documents; that is a human task.

  • 04

    Can I use this with any document type?

    The AI can compare text-based files that it can read, such as .txt or .docx files.

  • 05

    Does the AI delete my original files?

    No. The AI only reads the files to perform the comparison; it does not modify or delete your source documents.
