Contracts hold the dates and terms that cost money when they are missed: renewal windows, notice periods, payment terms, price escalations, and delivery obligations. In many companies those details live only inside signed PDFs and in the memory of whoever negotiated them.
An AI document agent can read each contract, extract the terms you care about, and keep them in a register your team can search and act on. It does not replace legal judgment. It makes sure the facts are in front of the right person on time.
What gets extracted
We agree the field list with you before anything is built. Most companies start with a short list of terms that drive cash, risk, or deadlines, and add more once the register is trusted.
- Parties, effective date, term, and renewal type
- Notice periods and cancellation windows
- Payment terms, price changes, and penalties
- Delivery, service level, and reporting obligations
- Governing law and any non-standard clauses flagged for review
Every value links back to the clause
A register is only useful if people trust it. Each extracted value keeps the page and clause it came from, so a reviewer can confirm it without rereading the whole contract.
Where a contract is ambiguous, or a field is missing, the agent says so instead of guessing. Missing information is visible, not hidden inside a confident summary.
From register to reminders
Once terms are structured, the agent can create reminders ahead of renewal and notice dates, post them to the owner in email or Slack, and log who acknowledged them.
This is where contract extraction pays back. The value is not the spreadsheet. It is the renewal you renegotiated on time and the notice you did not miss.
What stays with your team
Interpretation, negotiation, and legal advice stay with people. The agent prepares the facts and flags unusual clauses against your standard terms. Your team or counsel decides what they mean.
How to start
Choose one contract type, such as supplier agreements or customer service contracts, and the ten fields that matter most. The free Agent Audit reviews a few examples and returns the first agent, price, and timeline within 24 hours.
A $1,000 Starter Agent can build the first register and reminder flow in one week, with our fix-or-refund guarantee. Managed AI Operations keeps new contracts flowing into it every month.
FAQ
Is AI contract extraction the same as AI contract review?
No. Extraction turns agreed terms into structured data. Review judges whether terms are acceptable. We automate extraction and flag deviations; judgment stays with your team or counsel.
Can it handle our older scanned contracts?
Yes, with OCR. Older scans are often lower quality, so more fields may go to review during the first pass.
Where does the contract register live?
Wherever your team already works: your CRM, a database, a shared spreadsheet, or a simple dashboard we provide.
Is our contract data used to train models?
No. We use providers and settings that do not train on your data, and access is limited to the people and systems you approve.
