The idea came from a personal frustration. A friend called me after receiving a job offer. She was excited — great company, good salary. But buried in page 11 of her employment contract was a non-compete clause so broad it would have prevented her from working in her entire industry for 2 years anywhere in the country. She almost signed it without reading it. A lawyer would have charged $400+ to catch that. She had no lawyer. That conversation stayed with me. Millions of people sign contracts every week — employment agreements, freelance contracts, NDAs, leases — without any legal support. Not because they don't care, but because lawyers are expensive and ChatGPT gives generic, inconsistent answers that hallucinate legal advice 69% of the time according to Stanford research. So I built ClauseAudit. Upload any contract. In 30 seconds you get a risk score from 0 to 100, every risky clause flagged as HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW, plain English explanations of what each clause actually means, negotiation scripts to push back, and a downloadable PDF report. Built on the Anthropic API — your contract is never used to train AI, ever. The five contract types I focused on first — employment, freelance, NDA, SaaS, and lease — are the five documents that ordinary people sign without lawyers and get burned on the most. Each analyzer has US state-specific legal intelligence built in. California voids non-competes. New York caps security deposits at one month rent. The tool knows this automatically so you don't have to. I am a solo founder. I built this because I believe the gap between "sign blind" and "hire a lawyer" should not cost $400 to cross. It should cost $0 for a first check. That is ClauseAudit. I would love to know — what is the worst contract clause you have ever signed without fully understanding it?

Love that no account is needed, super low friction. One thing that would make this a no-brainer for me is a side-by-side redline mode where I can compare the AI suggestions against the original text in real time, rather than just reading a list of flagged clauses. Would really speed up contract back and forths.

Uploaded a freelance contract I had sitting around and the plain English explanations actually made sense, not lawyer-speak. The risk score felt a bit aggressive on a couple of standard clauses but the breakdown helped me see why.

Love that no account is needed, makes it so easy to actually try. One thing I'd love to see is a side-by-side compare view, where you can drop in two versions of a contract and have it flag the differences and any new risks introduced in the second one. Would be huge for people negotiating redlines.
