Explain an Inbound Contract Redline Against Your Playbook

When a counterparty drops a revised contract into a Dropbox folder, an agent diffs it against your standard playbook clauses, classifies each deviation by risk.

What it does

Watches a Dropbox intake folder for new counterparty contract versions. When one lands, an agent extracts the text, aligns it clause-by-clause to your negotiation playbook, and surfaces every material deviation — added carve-outs, deleted protections, reworded liability caps — with a plain-English explanation and a risk grade. It delivers a single review-ready brief so a lawyer reads conclusions, not raw diffs.

When to use it

Use it when counterparties send back marked-up agreements and your legal team burns hours reconciling each version against house standards. Best for high-volume contract types like NDAs, MSAs, and DPAs where a known playbook exists.

How it works

  1. 1A new file appears in the Dropbox contracts-inbound folder and fires the run.
  2. 2The agent downloads the document and extracts clean clause text.
  3. 3It loads the matching playbook standard for that contract type.
  4. 4An OpenAI step aligns clauses and explains each substantive change in business terms.
  5. 5A logic step grades deviations (acceptable / negotiate / blocker) and drops cosmetic edits.
  6. 6Outlook emails legal a ranked deviation brief with the source file linked.
