The end of endless scrolling
Picture this: you’re asked to review a 60-page supplier agreement. Normally, that means hours of scrolling, Ctrl+F searches, and double-checking clauses to spot hidden indemnification clauses, poorly defined scope, and ambiguities that will cost millions. Now imagine simply asking your contract: “Does this document include a limitation of liability?” and getting an instant, accurate answer.
By 2026, this will be the new normal. Instead of slogging through contracts manually, professionals will simply chat with their contracts, turning what was once a tedious task into a quick, interactive conversation.
Why manual review is on its way out
Manual contract review is slow, costly, and risky:
- Time sink: Legal teams spend up to 40% of their time reading documents to identify potential litigation, mitigate risk, and ensure compliance that could be identified with AI in 5 minutes.
- Human error: Even the most experienced professionals can overlook a key clause when deadlines are approaching.
- Bottlenecks: Legal, procurement and finance teams often wait on each other to complete reviews, slowing down business decisions.
In short, manual review doesn’t scale with the speed of business. And that’s why conversational AI is set to replace it.
Chatting with contracts: how it works
Think of it like having a contract-savvy colleague on call 24/7. With Contractify’s AI contract assistant, ADA, you can:
- Ask plain-language questions: “Does this NDA comply with our data protection policy?”
- Get instant answers: Instead of spending hours searching, you get results in seconds. The AI assistant tells you where it found the information so you can double-check the provided information.
- Dig deeper: Follow up with context-specific questions until you’re confident you understand the document.
It’s not magic, it’s advanced AI trained to understand contracts. The result: less time reading, more time deciding.
Real-life example: the CFO's perspective
A CFO at a mid-sized manufacturer recently told us that reviewing financing agreements used to take her two full days. Today, he simply asks ADA about repayment terms, covenants, or hidden risks. What once took 16+ hours now takes less than 30 minutes, giving him time to focus on strategy, not paperwork.
Real-life example: the Legal’s perspective
An in-house counsel at a manufacturing company was tasked with reviewing and approving a supplier contract under a tight deadline. Instead of spending a full afternoon scanning 40+ pages, she uploaded the document to ADA and asked:
- “Does this contract shift liability for defects onto us?”
- “Are there penalties for late delivery?”
Within minutes, she spotted an unusually broad indemnity clause that would have otherwise slipped through. She redlined it, precise implications & saved the company from potential six-figure exposure, which made her the trusted advisor in the room.
The benefits. So, what’s in it for you?
- For legal counsels: More time for strategic advice instead of inefficient or time-consuming contract reviews.
- For CFOs: Faster risk assessments and fewer surprises in financing or supplier agreements.
- For procurement: Confidence that every contract complies with internal policies before signature.
- For contract managers: No more bottlenecks. Reviews move as fast as you do.
