Audit your contracts for hidden risks in seconds with AI
Hi Indie Hackers!
Like most founders here, I’ve often stared at a 20-page service agreement or NDA, knowing I should have a lawyer look at it, but also knowing I didn't want to drop $500 for a 15-minute review.
The result? We often just "sign and pray."
I built ContractGuard AI to solve this. It’s an AI-powered second opinion that flags "hidden" risks in plain English.

Here is how our AI breaks down a complex employment contract. It identifies the high-risk clauses (like the underpaid probation period) and gives you a clear explanation and a tip on how to negotiate it.
What it does:
🔴 Risk Detection: Categorizes issues into High, Medium, and Low risk.
🗣 Plain English: Translates "Legalese" into what it actually means for your business.
💡 Negotiation Tips: Tells you exactly what to ask for to fix a bad clause.
Why I’m sharing it here:
Legal tech is usually boring and expensive. I wanted to build something fast (built with Next.js 15 and Tailwind v4) and privacy-focused.
I’ve implemented an Anonymous Scan feature—you can upload a document and get a report via a temporary token without even creating an account. I'd love for this community to stress-test it.
I’m looking for your honest feedback:
Is the "Risk Level" classification helpful or too simplified?
As a founder, what’s the one contract clause that keeps you up at night?

About
Lawyer fees are high, so founders sign risky deals. ContractGuard AI flags risks in plain English so you never get burned by the fine print.

Forgot to mention: The 'Communication Tip' feature was actually inspired by a personal bad experience where I knew a clause was wrong but didn't know how to phrase my objection to the client. Hope this helps other freelancers too!
