I got burned by a contract I didn't read. So I built an AI to read them for me.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I'm Ahmad, from Palestine. A few years ago, I signed a freelance contract with a non-compete clause buried deep in the fine print. I didn't catch it. It cost me a major client and months of frustration.

That wasn't the first time. Rental agreements with hidden auto-renewal traps. Insurance policies written in what might as well be ancient Latin. Employment contracts with sketchy IP clauses.

Every time I thought: I should have a lawyer look at this." But at $300+/hour? For a freelancer? Not realistic.

So I spent the last few months building what I wish existed:

Legalese AI — an AI tool that reads your legal documents and tells you:

→ What you're actually agreeing to (in plain English)

→ Which clauses are risky (with color-coded warnings)

→ What to negotiate before signing

It's not about replacing lawyers. It's about giving the 107M freelancers and small business owners a fighting chance before they sign something they'll regret.

We're launching on Product Hunt on January 13th — I'd love for you to check it out.

But first, I'm curious:

What's the worst "I should've read that" moment you've had with a contract?

Looking forward to being part of this community!
