    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

    the dev community.
