Show HN: AI that reviews legal contracts in 12 minutes instead of 2 hours
legaldeepai.netlify.appI built LegalDeep AI after spending $800 on legal review for a simple partnership agreement. The lawyer found 3 risky clauses in 2 hours that my AI now identifies in 12 minutes.
What it does:
Scans contracts and legal documents for risks
Identifies problematic clauses with 95% accuracy
Provides plain-English explanations of legal risks
Suggests safer alternative language
Works completely offline (no sensitive data uploaded)
Technical details:
Built with React/Node.js + Python AI backend
Trained on 10K+ legal contracts and case law
Uses fine-tuned language models + legal knowledge graphs
SOC 2 compliant infrastructure
Processes PDFs, Word docs, and plain text
Why this matters: Legal review costs $200-500/hour. Small businesses either skip it (risky) or pay thousands (painful). This makes legal protection accessible to everyone.
Current traction:
127 legal professionals in beta testing
$2.1K MRR after 6 weeks
Average time savings: 91% vs manual review
Works with contracts, NDAs, employment agreements, leases

The most surprising finding: 70% of users aren't lawyers - they're entrepreneurs and small business owners who couldn't afford proper legal review before.
Looking for feedback on:
What legal documents cause you the most headaches?
What would make you trust an AI with legal analysis?
How do you currently handle contract review?
Happy to answer questions about the tech stack, training data, or legal accuracy validation. Can we sue for damages and liability if the review is flawed? ^ This is important. People pay thousands for reasons related to due diligence, liability and legitimacy, not because they struggle with fancy uses of English. (Contract drafters are often advised to avoid certain stereotypical formulas.) This is the premise behind *legal* licensing of professionals --- like doctors and lawyers and engineers. AI doesn't really offer anything new here. It has always been possible to get these jobs done faster and cheaper --- if you're willing to ignore a few little nagging issues like quality and liability and *legality*. Review of legal contracts is not just about what is being said but also what should be said that isn't. Can AI do this level of analysis as well as a licensed professional? Color me skeptical. But as always, your mileage may vary. LegalDeep AI isn't build for replacing the Licensed Professionals, it's build for making there life easier and increasing there productivity. This tool might save there time and money. LegalDeep AI just gives you summaries and analysis not perfect data to share with clients without review by user himself. They can use this for help. So it is mainly for use by *lawyers*? This contradicts your original post where you appear to suggest it can be used to avoid paying lawyers. Along with the fact that you are posting in a technical forum rather than a legal one. No the review will not be flawed. The Documents will be analyzed by AI and it will answer what's on document only. No the review will not be flawed. Put this into writing in your terms of service and I will ask my lawyer to review it. By the way, where are your terms of service?
