How do you turn an NDA around in minutes, not days?

An NDA AI Employee that checks each inbound NDA against your standard playbook within 15 minutes, redlines every nonstandard term as a suggested edit, and drafts a flag summary for counsel. It never signs, sends, or applies a change.

Problem

An NDA is the most standardized document a deal touches, and also the one most likely to sit in an inbox for two days waiting for someone with a law degree to open it. The deal doesn't move until it's signed, but the review is usually mechanical: the same eight or nine clauses checked against the same standard positions, over and over. NDAs are high volume and low variance. Most deals need one, and most follow the same handful of templates with the same predictable deviations: a one way instead of mutual, a perpetual confidentiality term, a nonsolicit that reaches further than it should. None of that requires a first read from a lawyer. It just requires someone to check. But "someone" means counsel, and counsel's queue is full of things that actually need judgment. An NDA that's 90% standard waits behind a contract renegotiation, and the deal it's gating waits with it. By the time it gets reviewed, the delay has nothing to do with the document's complexity and everything to do with queue position.

What it does

The NDA AI Employee checks a watched email label every 15 minutes for a new inbound NDA. Each run saves the attached document into a file storage folder, opens it in Docs, checks it clause by clause against your standard NDA playbook, redlines every deviation as a suggested edit, and drafts (never sends) a flag summary on the original email thread addressed to counsel. It never signs anything and never messages the counterparty. Counsel opens the thread to a redline and a summary instead of a cold document.

How it works

See exactly how the work gets done.

Every 15 minutes

The AI Employee checks the watched email label every 15 minutes, and each run starts fresh, seeded with whatever NDA is waiting. One NDA maps to one run. Nothing carries over between runs beyond what's already sitting in email and file storage.

Works to your standard positions

Your standard NDA positions travel with the AI Employee as a skill: mutual vs. one way, confidentiality duration, governing law, nonsolicit scope, remedies, the residuals clause, return or destroy obligations, assignment, and indemnification. It checks against that standard rather than a generic sense of what an NDA should say.

Connects to your systems, with permissions you set

It reads the watched label in email to find a new NDA that hasn't been processed, saves the document to a dedicated file storage folder so there's a durable copy to review, and redlines in Docs, every nonstandard clause as a suggested edit, never a direct change. Credentials stay in memory, never written to disk, never exposed to the model.

Suggests, never applies

Its only outputs are a suggested edit in Docs and a draft on the email thread: never a sent reply, never an applied edit, never a signature. The original attachment is never overwritten, deleted, or moved.

Counsel picks it up already redlined

An NDA that lands at 9:03am has a redline and a flag summary waiting by 9:15: the routine terms noted, the nonstandard ones marked with the section and the reason, a proposed replacement already drafted. Counsel reviews, adjusts if needed, and sends. Nothing reaches the counterparty without that review.

Guardrails

Runs in your environment

Every run happens inside your own infrastructure. It can reach only email, file storage, and Docs; only the redline and the draft leave it.

Credentials stay protected

The email, file storage, and Docs credentials connect with the permissions you set; they stay in memory, never written to disk, and are never exposed to the model or the logs.

Suggesting mode only

Redlines land as suggested edits, never a direct write to the document, and the original attachment is never overwritten, deleted, or moved.

Never signs, executes, or sends

The flag summary is a draft on the original thread, never sent. The AI Employee has no path to countersign an NDA or message the counterparty. Counsel owns both.

You own the rules

The playbook, its skills, and its per system permissions are yours, versioned and changed on your terms, not in a vendor dashboard.

The outcome

NDAs stop being the paperwork a deal waits on. Counsel opens a thread to a redline already marked against your standard positions and a summary of exactly what's nonstandard and why, instead of a cold document. The AI Employee does the first pass; a named human in legal signs off on every word that goes back to the counterparty.
