The big idea
Job offers, freelance gigs, and rental leases all come with contracts. AI can scan one and flag clauses that are weird, unfair, or industry-standard so you negotiate the right things.
Some examples
- Ask AI to flag non-compete clauses
- Ask AI to find auto-renewal terms
- Ask AI to spot 'arbitration only' fine print
- Ask AI for a list of what's normal vs unusual
Try it!
Find a sample freelance contract online. Paste it to AI. Ask it to flag every clause that could hurt you. Notice patterns to watch for.
