The big idea
A noncompete clause can stop you from working in your field for years after you quit. AI can flag overly broad ones in a job offer so you negotiate before signing.
How to use it
- Paste a noncompete and ask AI: 'Is this enforceable in my state?'
- Ask AI to suggest narrower language to negotiate
- Ask AI to explain trade secrets vs noncompete
- Ask AI to remind you that some states ban noncompetes entirely
Try it
Find a sample noncompete. Ask AI to translate it and suggest 3 things to negotiate before signing.
