I Built an AI-Powered Contract Analyzer to Detect Risks in Seconds

Why I built Contract Analyzer

Contracts are everywhere — employment agreements, NDAs, vendor contracts,
service agreements — but reviewing them manually is slow, stressful, and easy
to get wrong.

I noticed that many people outside legal teams struggle to understand:

  • Which clauses are risky
  • What’s missing
  • What really matters in a long contract

So I decided to build Contract Analyzer.


What is Contract Analyzer?

Contract Analyzer is an AI-powered web app that analyzes contracts and
highlights:

  • Risky clauses
  • Missing or unclear terms
  • Key insights and summaries in plain language

The goal is simple:

Help people review contracts faster and with more confidence.


Tech stack

I kept the stack modern and simple:

  • Frontend: Next.js deployed on Vercel
  • Backend: .NET API running on Railway
  • Database: PostgreSQL

This setup allowed me to iterate quickly and deploy globally without heavy
infrastructure overhead.


Challenges

Some of the biggest challenges were:

  • Making AI output understandable for non-legal users
  • Handling long contracts efficiently
  • Designing a UI that feels simple, not overwhelming

There’s still a lot to improve, but this first version already saves a lot of
time.


What’s next?

I’m currently working on:

  • Better clause explanations
  • Support for more contract types
  • Improved summaries and risk scoring

Launched on Product Hunt 🚀

I just launched Contract Analyzer on Product Hunt and would love feedback from
