AI Contract Analyzer

Legalese translated to plain English.

The Problem

Nobody reads contracts, but everyone should. Freelancers sign NDAs with crazy non-competes. Founders accept investor terms they don't understand. Employees miss concerning clauses in employment agreements. Lawyers cost $500/hour, so most people just sign and hope for the best.

The Solution

Upload any contract PDF, and AI analyzes it instantly. Get a summary of key terms, warnings about concerning clauses, and plain-English explanations of what you're agreeing to. Know what to negotiate before signing.

How it works:

1

Upload contract

PDF or paste text

2

AI analyzes

Finds key terms & red flags

3

Get report

Plain-English summary
