Questions people ask

A few quick answers about what ContractDecoder does, what it does not do, and how it handles contract text.

How is this different from Copilot or ChatGPT?

Copilot and ChatGPT are general AI assistants. ContractDecoder is focused on contract-reading workflows, so users do not need to write prompts. It turns contract text into a structured overview with key terms, obligations, provisions that may warrant closer review, discussion points, possible clarifying language, and a sensitive-information redaction prompt for pasted text.

Is this legal advice?

No. ContractDecoder provides general information only. It was built with input from a licensed attorney, but it does not tell users whether to sign, what to do, or whether a provision is enforceable.

Do I need an account or payment?

No. ContractDecoder is free during early access and does not require an account or payment. Daily limits may apply so we can keep access available.

Do I need to download an app?

No app store download is required. You can use ContractDecoder in your browser. You can also choose to add it to your phone home screen.

What kinds of contracts can it read?

It can help users understand many common agreements faster, including leases, employment documents, NDAs, freelancer or client agreements, and small business contracts.

What happens to my contract?

Contract text or images are sent for AI processing to generate the result. For pasted text, ContractDecoder checks for common sensitive-information patterns and can replace them with [REDACTED] before analysis. Users should still avoid uploading highly sensitive information unless they are comfortable submitting it for AI-assisted analysis.
