AI contract review
Contract review software that flags risky clauses
Contract review software reads an agreement and tells you which clauses differ from the terms your company accepts. Signee compares the counterparty draft with your playbook of approved positions, marks each risky or missing clause, shows your preferred wording and fallback next to it, and sends anything outside the playbook to the right approver.

Review against your rules, not a generic checklist
Generic AI review tools tell you that a liability clause exists and summarise it. That is rarely the question. The question is whether this clause is acceptable to your company, and that depends on positions only your team can set: the liability cap you accept, the longest payment term finance will tolerate, the governing laws legal is comfortable with, whether you ever sign uncapped indemnities.
In Signee those positions live in the clause library as a playbook. Each entry has the preferred wording, one or more approved fallbacks and a short note on when each applies. When a counterparty sends their paper, the review reads every clause, matches it to a playbook entry and sorts the result into three groups: within your positions, outside them, and missing altogether.
Reviewers see the clause as written, your preferred position and the fallback side by side. Accepting a fallback replaces the wording in a new version, so nobody types alternative clauses from memory. This is part of Signee contract management software, so the reviewed version moves straight into approval and signing.

What the review checks
Each finding comes with a next step
A flag without a suggested fix only moves work around. Every finding in Signee points to wording you have already approved.
Outside your position
The clause exists but its terms go beyond what the playbook allows, such as a lower liability cap or a longer notice period.
Missing clause
A clause your playbook requires for this agreement type is absent, for example data protection in a SaaS agreement.
High risk wording
Terms the playbook marks as never acceptable, such as uncapped indemnity or unilateral price changes, are flagged first.
Approved fallback
Insert the preferred or fallback wording from the clause library. The change is saved as a new version.
Routed approval
Any accepted deviation triggers your approval rules, so legal or finance signs off before anything is sent.

From review to a version both sides accept
Review is rarely the end of the conversation. You send back your changes, the counterparty edits again, and a few rounds later someone has to confirm that the final draft still matches what was agreed. Contract redlining software in Signee keeps every round as a version and shows exactly which words changed between them, so you can run the review again on the latest draft and see only what is new.
If your team writes most agreements itself, start on the other end. The AI contract generator drafts from one sentence using the same clause wording, so far fewer deviations reach review in the first place.
After signing, the reviewed agreement is read for dates and obligations like every other contract. AI contract management software covers what happens from there.
How it works
Reviewing a counterparty draft
-
1
Set the playbook
Add preferred and fallback wording for the clauses that matter to you, per agreement type.
-
2
Upload their draft
Upload the PDF the other side sent, or open an agreement already in Signee.
-
3
Work the findings
Accept, replace with a fallback or leave a note on each flagged clause.
-
4
Approve and return
Approval rules run on accepted deviations, then the new version goes back or out for signature.
AI review speeds up reading, it does not replace judgement. Findings are suggestions based on the positions you configured, they are not legal advice, and Signee is not a law firm. For a deal that is large, regulated or unusual, ask a lawyer to read the final version.
