I'm building an AI contract tool for founders. Tell me your thoughts.

I've been commenting on this forum for a bit and wanted to finally share what I'm building and get honest feedback.

Quick background. I ran a product brand for almost two years. Built it from scratch with no legal background and no budget for a lawyer. Over 18 months I wrote 80+ contracts across factories, engineers, scientists, vendors, agencies, and contractors.

I once hired an influencer for 20 reels across different outfits and locations. They delivered 2 outfits and 2 locations. Technically fulfilled the contract because I never defined what "different" meant. That was on me.

That experience plus 79 others taught me that most founders don't lose because they had no contract. They lose because the contract was vague, missing key clauses, or written for someone else's situation.

So I built Claustar.

It's an AI-guided contract creation platform that asks about your situation before writing a single clause. Attorney-reviewed templates under the hood. Jurisdiction-aware. Plain-English output. Built to stay clearly on the document preparation side of the legal line, not to give legal advice.

Launching next week.

Before I do, I genuinely want the unfiltered reaction from this community.
Does the idea resonate, or does it sound like something you'd never actually use? What would make you trust it with a real agreement? And is there anything about how it's positioned that feels off?

Not looking for encouragement. Looking for the honest reaction you'd have if a friend sent you this.

    "Abdullah, that influencer story is a classic founder nightmare—the 'definition of different' trap is exactly why generic templates fail. Building an AI that grills you on the specifics before generating the clause is a much smarter way to handle contract prep without crossing the legal advice line.
    Since you're launching next week and looking for that first wave of trust and users, there’s a competition where you can submit Claustar—entry is $19 and winner gets a Tokyo trip. Prize pool just opened at $0. Your odds are the best right now.
    Winning a trip to Tokyo would be a hell of a launch gift to yourself after grinding through 80+ manual contracts!"
