Why DeskFerry is better for document review
Acme MSA $60k/yr — Filed
Prepared and waiting on your approval
Outside the agent's confidence — your call
Approve before it sends.
Every draft lands in a review queue. You approve, edit, or reject — the agent never acts on its own unless you explicitly turn that on for a workflow you trust.
Every action, with the reasoning attached.
Each step the agent takes is logged with what it did, why it did it, and which app it touched. Audit-ready, so security and compliance can sign off without backfilling.
