The premise
Operators sign more contracts than founders realize, and most don't justify a $400/hr attorney review. AI can flag the boilerplate landmines, but anything material still needs a human who can be sued for getting it wrong.
What AI does well here
- Identify auto-renewal clauses and unusual notice periods
- Surface liability caps that are way below industry norm
- Spot data-handling terms that don't match your privacy policy
- Generate a plain-English summary of the contract's risks
What AI cannot do
- Negotiate on your behalf or read the counterparty's flexibility
- Catch jurisdiction-specific issues without explicit prompting
- Replace a lawyer for anything material (M&A, IP licensing, equity)
