Contracts

Ask your contracts a question. Get the clause it came from.

Leases, employment agreements, supplier terms and insurance policies hide the one answer you need in page 14. Étoiles reads them all, answers in a sentence or two, and shows the clause behind the answer.

The problem with contracts

Contracts are long, repetitive and written to be precise rather than easy to find things in. Searching for a word only works when you know the exact word the contract uses: you look for "termination" and the clause says "ending this agreement". And once you find a clause you still have to read around it to be sure.

How it works

  1. Add your contracts. In Étoiles Cloud, upload PDF, plain text or Markdown files, one at a time or a whole folder. A contract that is a Word file needs to be saved as a PDF first. On iPhone, import files from the Files app.
  2. Ask in your own words. You do not need the contract's wording. Ask the question the way you would ask a colleague.
  3. Read the clause. The answer carries numbered citations. Open one to read the passage it came from, in its own document, and judge it for yourself.

Questions people ask their contracts

DocumentQuestion
Office leaseHow much notice do I have to give to leave, and is it in writing?
Employment agreementDoes the contract allow me to work for another company?
Supplier agreementWho pays for delivery if an order is late?
Service agreementWhen does it renew, and how do I stop it renewing?
Insurance policyIs water damage covered, and what is the excess?

Many contracts at once

You do not choose a file first. Étoiles searches the whole library, so one answer can draw on the main agreement and the amendment that changed it, and cite both. In Étoiles Cloud you can group contracts in collections, for example one per client, and ask inside one group.

What to keep in mind

Étoiles answers are written by AI and can be wrong. Open the cited passage to check before you rely on an answer.
