Built an AI contract obligation app - looking for feedback

Hey everyone,

I've been working on an app that automatically reads contracts and pulls out all the obligations, due dates, and assigns them to the right parties. Basically trying to solve the headache of manually tracking "who owes what to whom" in business contracts.

What it does:

Upload contracts (PDF/Word/whatever)

AI extracts all obligations and breaks them down by party

Flags potential risks in clauses

Tracks due dates and deadlines

Shows exactly where each obligation appears in the original document

Handles batch uploads for multiple contracts

Built it because I was tired of missing important contract deadlines and manually creating spreadsheets to track everything. Figured other small business owners and agencies might have the same problem.

It's live and working, but I'd love to get feedback from people who actually deal with contracts regularly. Does this solve a real problem for you? What features would make it more useful?

Happy to let folks try it out if you're interested - just want honest thoughts on whether this is actually helpful or if I'm solving a problem that doesn't exist.

Here is the app: https://contract-obligation.vercel.app/

Thanks for any feedback!

    Similar space. I'm more on revision compare - client sends v2/v3 and you need to see what moved, not just track deadlines.

    Are you seeing more pull on obligation tracking or on redlining between versions?

    This sounds super helpful

    This is a great idea, definitely solves a real headache. Just a quick note of caution: if the app makes a mistake and someone relies on it, you could end up being held responsible for missed obligations. Might be worth talking to a lawyer about liability and adding clear terms/disclaimers before people start using it seriously.

    Like the idea! Interested to hear what kind of legal obligations you would be taking on if you're positioning the app as a replacement for a lawyer going through things. Do you have any strategies in place for preventing LLM hallucinations or inaccuracies?

    Interesting concept — contracts are messy and a lot of companies struggle to track obligations. One thought: who do you imagine as your first ideal user? Lawyers, startups, or bigger enterprises? The use case changes a lot depending on the audience. Have you tested it with even a handful of contracts from a real user yet?
