Your AI Lawyer in Your Pocket

Ask your AI Lawyer any legal question and get clear, actionable answers — or import any contract and get a full AI analysis with risk detection, plain-English explanations, suggested alternative language, and side-by-side version comparison. Pact works in 11 languages, costs one token per question or analysis, and requires no subscription. Built for individuals and small businesses who need to understand what they are signing.

What Pact Does

Two core capabilities — AI Lawyer Q&A and contract analysis — plus document comparison, risk detection, and alternative clause suggestions.

AI Lawyer Q&A

Ask any legal question in plain language — non-competes, lease terms, liability clauses, IP ownership, anything legal — and get a clear, structured answer. Attach a previously analyzed contract for context-aware answers about specific clauses in your actual document. Pact responds in your language across all 11 supported locales.

Risk Detection

Pact evaluates every clause against a legal risk framework and assigns a severity rating — high, medium, or low. It catches one-sided indemnification language, automatic renewal traps, broad non-compete windows, and penalty clauses that exceed market norms. Each flag includes a short explanation of why the clause is risky and what it could cost you.

Plain English Explanations

Legal contracts are written in language that most people do not use daily. Pact translates each clause into conversational English so you know exactly what you are agreeing to. Whether it is a force majeure provision or a severability clause, the explanation tells you what the clause does and why it matters.

Document Comparison

Upload two versions of a contract and Pact highlights every change: added clauses, deleted language, and modified terms. This is critical during negotiation rounds when a counterparty sends back a revised draft. Pact supports the same redlining and blacklining workflow used by law firms, but without the billable hours.

Alternative Clauses

When Pact identifies a problematic clause, it does not stop at flagging it. The app suggests replacement language that better protects your interests while remaining commercially reasonable. You can copy the suggestion directly into your response to the counterparty, cutting hours of back-and-forth over limitation of liability or arbitration clauses.

Who Uses Pact

Pact is built for individuals and small teams who sign contracts regularly but do not have a legal department on call.

Renters

A residential lease is the most expensive contract most people sign every year, yet few read past the first page. Pact flags hidden fees, unfair early-termination penalties, security deposit traps, and maintenance obligations that landlords bury in boilerplate. Renters use Pact to understand exactly what they are committing to before handing over a deposit.

Freelancers

Freelance designers, developers, writers, and consultants sign NDAs and contractor agreements that can quietly transfer ownership of their work. Pact reviews IP assignment clauses, non-compete restrictions, payment terms, and scope-of-work definitions so freelancers keep what they create and get paid on time.

Small Business Owners

Small businesses sign vendor contracts, partnership agreements, and master service agreements without the budget for outside counsel on every deal. Pact gives founders and operators a fast first pass — flagging liability caps, termination rights, and non-solicitation clauses — so they know where to push back before sending a contract to a lawyer for final review.

Employees

Employment contracts, offer letters, and severance agreements often contain non-compete clauses, IP assignment provisions, and arbitration requirements that employees overlook under the pressure of a start date. Pact reviews these documents and highlights the terms that could limit your future job options, assign ownership of side projects, or waive your right to sue.
