I'm a physical therapist by day. Not a developer, not a lawyer, not a startup founder. A close friend of mine signed a lease without fully reading it. On page 8 there was a pet indemnification clause with no liability cap. Her dog nipped a neighbor. $4,000 in legal fees later she said "I didn't even know that was in there." That stuck with me. So I started asking people about their experiences signing real estate contracts. Almost everyone had the same story. They signed because their agent said it was fine. Or because the landlord was waiting. Or because they didn't want to look difficult. Not because they actually understood what they were signing. The problem isn't that people are careless. It's that real estate contracts are written in language designed for lawyers, not for the people who have to live with them. Hiring an attorney to review a lease costs $300-800. Most renters won't pay that for a one-year lease. So they sign without understanding. I built Clausia to sit in that gap. Upload your PDF. Get every clause explained in plain English with a risk flag — HIGH, MEDIUM, or STANDARD — in about 60 seconds. If something is HIGH risk, Clausia tells you exactly why and suggests how buyers commonly negotiate that type of clause. There's also a lawyer collaboration feature, invite your attorney to annotate specific clauses in a structured thread instead of a 40-email chain. I built the entire thing using Claude Code with zero prior coding experience. It took two days. It's completely free right now during beta. No credit card. No catch. I'd love honest feedback — especially from anyone who has been surprised by something in a lease or purchase agreement after signing. That's exactly who I built this for.
