Introduction

Let’s face it, legal documents can be intimidating. From dense jargon to subtle clauses with real consequences, understanding contracts isn't always easy, especially if you're not a lawyer.
Here comes the Contract Analyzer, a modern web app designed to empower everyday users with AI-driven insights into the legal documents they sign.
 

What Is Contract Analyzer?

Contract Analyzer is a React-based web application that helps individuals and businesses understand, review, and manage contracts using artificial intelligence and a clean, intuitive interface. It's built for people who want clarity, without needing to call a lawyer every time they read a contract.

Whether you’re renting an apartment, signing a freelance agreement, or reviewing terms from a new employer, Contract Analyzer provides quick, smart assistance.
