What's In My Contract? - Free AI that reads contracts so you don't have to

Hi There, I built What's In My Contract and I'm excited to finally share this with you. The story behind it: As an IT Executive with 20+ years in technology, I've watched countless people — colleagues, friends, family, (Myself) — sign documents they don't fully understand. Leases with automatic renewal traps. Freelance contracts with unlimited revision clauses. Job offers with broad non-compete language buried on page 8. The problem isn't that people are careless. It's that legal documents are deliberately complex. They're written by lawyers to protect the other party, not the person signing. I kept thinking — this is a solved problem for people who can afford a lawyer. Why isn't it solved for everyone else? How I built it: I started with a simple question: what would a knowledgeable friend actually tell you before you signed something? Not legal advice — just plain English. "This clause means your landlord can raise your rent with 24 hours notice." "This NDA means your client owns everything you create, even on weekends." I used CrewAI and Ollama locally to test prompts and iterate on the analysis logic. Once I had something that consistently caught real red flags, I switched to Claude Haiku for production — the JSON reliability and 200K context window were game changers for reading entire contracts without truncation. The privacy architecture was non-negotiable from day one. PDF extraction runs locally via PDF.js. Camera OCR runs on your device via Tesseract.js. Your document file never leaves your browser — only extracted text hits the API. I wanted to be able to genuinely say "your contract is never stored anywhere" and actually mean it technically, not just as a marketing claim. What surprised me: Real world testing caught things I didn't expect. A friend's California lease had a blank late payment penalty clause — meaning the landlord could insert any amount later. Another had an entire month of July blocked out in a theme park annual pass buried in 12 pages of T&Cs. These aren't edge cases — they're everywhere once you start looking. I'd love your feedback on: - Which document types matter most to you beyond the current four? - What would make you trust a tool like this with a sensitive contract? - Any red flags you've personally discovered in documents you almost signed? Drop your thoughts below — I read every comment and genuinely incorporate feedback. This is day one and your input shapes what gets built next. Thanks!
