Build legal agents that can read, compare and track contracts.

Benefits

Contract context your workflows can act on

• Extract contract data your agent can use

  Turn contracts, amendments and policies into structured fields instead of leaving important information trapped in PDFs.

• Keep evidence with every important field

  Show the source behind a renewal date, obligation, party, amount or contract term before someone relies on it.

• Query the full document context

  Ask questions across an agreement, its amendments, schedules and related policies in one Knowledge Space.

• Track obligations and renewals

  Give your agent the structured information it needs to create tasks, reminders and review queues.

• Route uncertainty to people

  Escalate missing, ambiguous or conflicting clauses instead of presenting an uncertain interpretation as a definitive answer.

• Integrate with your existing workflow

  Use REST, webhooks, MCP, n8n, Make or a custom backend without replacing your contract-management system.

The legal document problem

Legal documents contain information your workflows cannot easily use

Contracts contain dates, obligations, parties, restrictions, pricing and renewal terms that affect everyday decisions. But that information is usually buried inside PDFs, scanned documents, amendments and schedules. A legal agent needs more than a summary. It needs structured fields, context across related documents, evidence for important claims and a safe way to escalate uncertainty.

• Important terms are buried in documents

  A renewal date, notice period or contractual obligation can be easy to miss when teams search and track agreements manually.

• One agreement is rarely a single file

  An amendment, order form, schedule or policy may modify or qualify the original agreement. The agent needs to understand the document set, not only one upload.

• Summaries without sources are difficult to trust

  Legal and operations teams need to verify where a date, obligation or restriction came from before taking action.

• Ambiguity must be reviewed

  A clause may be incomplete, unclear or dependent on another document. The workflow should create a review case rather than turn uncertainty into an automatic decision.

• Legal teams need actions, not only answers

  The useful result is often a renewal task, intake record, review queue, escalation or checklist—not just a paragraph summarising a contract.

Before / with Claix

From contract documents to controlled legal workflows

Your agent decides what to do. Claix gives it structured, traceable contract context.

Legal document agents

What a legal document agent can do with Claix

Each outcome combines extraction, evidence, multi-document context and a controlled next step—not a substitute for legal advice.

• Contract intake agent

  Receives an agreement, classifies the document, extracts metadata and routes it to the correct workflow or reviewer. Can extract contract type, parties, requesting company, intake date, value, effective date, urgency, related documents and missing fields. Flow: contract arrives → agent identifies type → Claix extracts the intake schema → agent routes to the reviewer → missing information becomes a follow-up task.

• Contract metadata agent

  Extracts the fields your contract repository or internal application needs—parties, type, signature and start dates, expiration, auto-renewal, notice period, jurisdiction, value, currency, internal owner and main obligations.

• Renewal monitoring agent

  Identifies upcoming expiration dates, notice periods and renewal language, then creates reminders or review tasks. Flow: executed contract arrives → Claix extracts renewal fields → agent checks dates → agent creates a reminder → evidence is attached → legal or business owner reviews.

• Contract comparison agent

  Queries an agreement and its amendments together, identifies differences and presents the relevant source documents for review—price, duration, dates, obligations, liability limits, services, payment terms, territory, termination and renewal. The agent surfaces differences for a professional to review; it does not determine legal validity.

• Legal operations assistant

  Answers questions across a contract collection, returns structured information and shows supporting document evidence—for example renewals in the next 90 days, auto-renewal agreements, audit obligations, 60-day notice periods or agreements modified by a later annex.

• Vendor contract agent

  Extracts commercial terms from supplier agreements and prepares records for procurement, finance or legal review—supplier, price, duration, renewal, SLA, supplier obligations, termination terms and missing documents.

• Due diligence document agent

  Processes contracts and related corporate documents, extracts defined fields and surfaces missing or inconsistent information for review. Helps organise material contracts, customer and supplier agreements, licences, financial obligations, IP rights, critical dates and absent documentation. It does not replace legal or financial due diligence review.

How it works

How a legal agent uses Claix

Your agent decides what to do. Claix gives it structured, traceable contract context.

1. 1

   A legal document arrives

   A contract, amendment, policy, order form or supporting file reaches your application, email workflow, API, n8n scenario or MCP tool.

2. 2

   The agent sends the document to Claix

   Your agent sends the file with the schema required by the legal workflow.

3. 3

   Claix returns structured JSON

   The response contains the parties, dates, obligations, terms or other fields defined by your application.

4. 4

   Evidence stays with the result

   Your interface or agent can show the document evidence behind an extracted date, obligation or term.

5. 5

   Related files provide context

   The agent can query the agreement, amendment, schedule or policy together in a Knowledge Space.

6. 6

   The agent creates the next action

   It can create a renewal task, prepare an intake record, generate a review checklist or request missing information.

7. 7

   Uncertainty is escalated

   If the document is incomplete, ambiguous or conflicting, the workflow sends it to a human reviewer instead of making an unchecked legal decision.

Example renewal workflow: the agent prepares and routes the work. A qualified reviewer remains responsible for the legal decision.

Contract fields

Configurable schema examples for legal workflows

These fields are examples of schemas you can configure—not a guaranteed list for every contract.

Evidence and traceability

Legal workflows need more than a generated answer

A legal agent should not return only “the contract renews next year.” It should be able to show which document, clause or passage supports the renewal date. That evidence allows the reviewer to verify the result before creating a reminder, approving a workflow or communicating with the business.

Traceability flow

1. Source document→
2. Extracted field→
3. Supporting evidence→
4. Agent action→
5. Human review→
6. Final record or task

Traceability turns a document answer into a reviewable legal workflow.

Human review

Cases that should stop for a person

High-impact legal workflows need a review path when documents are incomplete, conflicting or unclear.

• Missing documents

  The contract refers to an attachment that was not uploaded.

  The agent creates a missing-document task instead of completing the intake.

• Conflicting amendments

  An amendment contains a date or commercial term that conflicts with the original agreement.

  The agent surfaces both documents and routes the conflict to legal review.

• Ambiguous clause

  A clause cannot be confidently mapped to the defined schema.

  The result is marked for review rather than treated as a definitive interpretation.

• Missing renewal language

  The contract does not clearly state the renewal process.

  The agent flags the field as incomplete and requests a reviewer’s decision.

• Unsupported conclusion

  The user asks a question that cannot be answered from the uploaded documents.

  The agent reports that the available documents do not provide enough support.

Capabilities

What the document layer gives the legal agent

Structured contract fields, evidence and review signals—without replacing legal judgment.

• Schema-based contract extraction

  Return the parties, dates, obligations and terms your agent needs in a predictable JSON structure.

• Source evidence on critical fields

  Attach evidence to renewal dates, obligations and commercial terms so reviewers can inspect before acting.

• Multi-document legal context

  Query agreements, amendments, schedules and policies together in a Knowledge Space.

• Escalation before unchecked decisions

  Surface missing, ambiguous or conflicting information as a review case instead of a definitive legal answer.
