Self-Serve Contract Generation
• Clients message over WhatsApp or email
• System reads the free text and assembles the contract
• No forms, no portal, no staff in the loop
Template Compiler
• Turns lawyer-authored templates into machine-readable ones
• Assembly logic arrives as prose written for a human to follow
• Admin portal for managing templates
Where AI Sits
• Used narrowly and deliberately to interpret client intent
• Everything that has to be right every time is deterministic code
• AI proposes how to read and assemble a template; the legal copy stays untouched
