The Creator: A Practitioner in the World of AI:
Alexander Korenev is a technical specialist and entrepreneur deeply immersed in the field of artificial intelligence for the last two years. He has created over a dozen AI services, spoken at tech platforms (including Zerocoder), authored a course on creating no-code services, and currently works on implementing AI in a major bank. "I'm not a theorist, I'm a practitioner, I've tinkered with all this, seen how it works," Alexander emphasizes. His "Contract Auditor" project was born from an idea for analyzing court practices and evolved into a powerful tool for contract review.
Functionality of "Contract Auditor": A Co-Pilot for Lawyers:
The "Contract Auditor" service is not a "black box" but an intelligent assistant working based on clear expert instructions. Here's how it works:
-
The Lawyer Defines Questions: The specialist pre-formulates key questions and risks to look out for in a specific contract type (e.g., "Are there sanctions for transferring data to third parties?", "Who is responsible for advertising labeling?", "Are the details fully specified?").
-
User Uploads the Contract: The contract text is uploaded into the system.
-
AI Conducts Analysis: The artificial intelligence scans the entire document text, answering each of the lawyer's predefined questions.
-
Receiving a Structured Report: The result is not just "yes/no" answers but a detailed report:
-
Theses: A concise summary of the provisions found in the contract relevant to the question.
-
References to Clauses: Direct links to specific sections of the contract where the information was found. The lawyer instantly jumps to the right place in the text.
-
Identifying Ambiguities: The system automatically finds wordings that could be interpreted ambiguously ("provide promptly", "inform immediately") and highlights them as potential risks.
-
Filtering and Commenting: The lawyer can mark questions as reviewed or important, add comments for colleagues or the counterparty, and filter the list to work only with relevant items.
-
-
Export: The finished report with findings and comments can be exported to Word.
How Does it Help? Saving Time and Reducing Risks for Different Specialists:
-
For Lawyers:
-
Automating Routine: Freedom from repeatedly reading through standard contracts for each separate question. "The lawyer doesn't have to read the contract for every question, then again, and again for the next question. The auditor does all this for him."
-
Focus on Complex Tasks: Ability to devote more time to strategic issues and complex negotiations.
-
Standardizing Checks: Guarantee that all contracts are checked against uniform, approved criteria.
-
Training Interns: A visual tool for teaching contract audit rules.
-
Quick Search: (Coming Soon!) Function for instant search of answers within the text for any question arising during reading.
-
-
For Business Users (NON-lawyers):
-
Preliminary Check: Ability to quickly check an incoming contract for obvious "red flags" before sending it to a lawyer.
-
Speed of Response: Accelerating the approval process for standard contracts.
-
Cost Reduction: Savings on legal services by filtering out simple documents.
-
Confidence: Understanding that key, lawyer-predefined risks have been checked.
-
-
For Other Specialists:
-
Procurement Specialists: Checking supplier contracts for compliance with internal regulations and mandatory conditions.
-
Sales Managers: Controlling the presence of essential terms in standard client contracts.
-
Finance/Accountants: Checking the presence and correctness of financial terms (payment deadlines, penalties, details).
-
Key to Effectiveness: The Power of the Right Prompt:
Alexander emphasized that the effectiveness of the "Contract Auditor" directly depends on the quality of the "instructions" – the prompts. As an experienced prompt engineer, he shared important principles:
-
Clarity and Specificity: The lawyer's questions for the contract must be formulated as precisely and unambiguously as possible.
-
Context: The prompt must account for the specifics of the contract type and legal nuances.
-
Flexibility: The system allows for easy creation and customization of different question sets (prompts) for various contract types and a company's specific needs.
-
Practice: "Well-practiced" – creating effective prompts requires experience and understanding of how AI interprets queries.
"Contract Auditor" is a tool that enhances the expert (the lawyer), not replaces them. The quality of expertise is embedded in the prompts, and the AI takes over the routine work of searching and structuring information.
Conclusion:
Alexander Korenev's "Contract Auditor" (Dogovorny Auditor) is a practical AI tool for fast and standardized contract review. It reduces the burden on lawyers, minimizes risks for business, and provides confidence to everyone working with contracts. The uniqueness of the approach lies in combining a legal focus with the flexibility provided by prompt engineering.
