AI analyzes contracts and documents in minutes instead of hours, surfacing key clauses and risks. Teams typically see hours → Minutes with flags for attorney attention once the agent is in production. The agent runs on a configurable confidence threshold, escalates edge cases to a human, and writes every action to an audit log you can review at any time.

Built in plain English.
