Customer
“Pls review attached MSA before Thursday — same terms as last time except we tightened the indemnity clause and added a data-residency requirement.”
Agent draft · in your tone
Reviewed. Three substantive changes vs. our template: (1) indemnity cap raised to 2× fees — recommend pushing back to 1×; (2) EU data-residency clause is acceptable; (3) auto-renewal language is one-sided — proposed redline attached.
How does OpenAI (ChatGPT) work for Document Review automation?
OpenAI (ChatGPT) works for Document Review automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to OpenAI (ChatGPT) alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for Document Review, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Read the inbound MSA from Northwave with @ChatGPT
AI analyzes contracts and documents in minutes instead of hours, surfacing key clauses and risks.
- 03
Flag deviations from our standard terms
Teams typically see hours → Minutes with flags for attorney attention once the agent is in production.
- 04
Draft a redline
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
- 05
You approve
Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What's the standard the agent compares against?
Your template library — MSA, NDA, DPA, SLA, MSAs by region. The agent learns each template's clauses on connect and uses them as the baseline for every review.
Can it actually draft the redline, or just flag issues?
Both. It produces tracked changes that match your team's redline conventions, plus a memo summarizing the substantive deviations and risk level.
What's the false-positive rate on flags?
About 5–10% on first run. The agent learns from each accepted/rejected flag and the rate drops below 3% within ~50 reviewed contracts.
Where does the document live?
Wherever you sign — DocuSign, Ironclad, Juro, or Google Drive. The agent annotates in place; nothing moves to a new tool.
Is this a legal-advice replacement?
No. The agent does the first-pass review. Substantive negotiation and final approval stay with your legal lead. We position this as a 60–90% time saver on the review work, not a replacement for counsel.
