Problem

Where inefficiency shows up

Slow legal review

Contracts queue for manual reading, delaying every deal.

Inconsistent terms

Without a playbook in the loop, risky clauses slip through.

Lost in email approvals

Sign-off scatters across threads with no clear status.

Before

A 30–90 day contract cycle

A contract is drafted from a template, a lawyer reviews and redlines it by hand, the document travels between parties for approval, then sign-off and signature. 70–80% of edits are routine, yet each round takes days. A typical commercial cycle runs from one month to three.

After · with d8n and AI agents

A cycle of about 12 days

The Legal agent generates the contract from a template, checks it against your playbook and proposes edits in hours rather than days; approvals run in parallel with auto-reminders, and signing uses a digital signature. The lawyer focuses on the non-standard risks.

Agents working together

Several agents handle the contract — at every stage

From creation to obligation tracking, the contract is passed between specialised agents. Some checks run in parallel, so the cycle shrinks and risk stays under control.

1

Create and register the contract

The contract is created from an approved template or received from a counterparty as an incoming document. The Assistant fills in party details, subject and amount from the CRM, and Records registers the document and opens a card with number, type and deadline. It then enters the review route.

Assistant — draft from templateRecords — registration
Template / incoming → Assistant (details from CRM) → Records (registration · card) → into review
2

Parallel review

in parallel

The registered contract is analysed by three agents at once: Legal checks it against the playbook and flags legal risks, Finance verifies amounts, terms and payment conditions, and Registry checks formatting and details. All edits are collected into one list and the lawyer approves the decisions.

Legal — risksFinance — amounts & paymentRegistry — formatting
Contract → Legal (playbook) ∥ Finance (amounts/payment) ∥ Registry (formatting) → consolidated edit list → lawyer's decision
3

Approval and digital signing

After edits, the contract follows a role-based approval route with auto-reminders; Legal does a final review of the changes, then the document is signed with a digital signature and sent to the counterparty. Every step is logged with full audit.

Legal — final reviewRecords — route & dispatch
Edits → approval route (roles · reminders) → Legal (final review) → digital signature → sent to counterparty
4

Obligation tracking and reports

After signing, the agent tracks deadlines, obligations and renewal dates across the whole contract portfolio, reminds owners of key dates in advance and produces reports — on request in chat ("which contracts expire this month") or automatically on a schedule.

FAQ

Does this replace our lawyers?

No. It speeds review and flags risk, but a person makes the call — the agent prepares, people decide.

Can it use our own playbook?

Yes. The Legal agent checks contracts against your standard positions and clause library.

Can we send to signature?

Yes — route the approved contract to eSignature and send it to any counterparty by email.

Where are signed contracts stored?

In your private contour, versioned and auditable, with on-premise options.
