Contracts.ai

Inspiration

Initially I wanted to make it for indie films specifically for help with employment contracts permits etc and not use ai at all, but it was actually easier to use ai (who knew???, the world is about to change boys).

I think it's perhaps even more cooler now, because I'm building a tool that empowers everyone not just people in the film industry. Laws were made to protect us, so why more often than not is that rich people are the only ones that wield it effectively.

What it does

It generates contracts and sends them to the other party using dropbox sign. It very simple and some what convenient, "which makes it powerful" -- I said that in a cool voice.

How we built it

I built it in react using typescript, openai, aws s3, jspdf and dropboxsign

Challenges we ran into

Coming up with the idea, getting everything to work.

I spent SO MUCH time finding the right api to use for document signing (brooo its scary out there, glad i'm out of the api streets and in a comfortable relationship with dropboxsign).

I had a hard time getting the generated file to just work with dropbox, so i ended up have to store generated files in my s3 bucket and get the files from the urls instead of file buffers.

I spent a lot of time getting the embedded files to work because I didn't look at what dropbox was outputting early enough.

I spent A LOT of time wrangling with the ai to format the contracts and I had to come up with good prompts. I ended up asking the ai to come up with a prompt for the contract prompt lol. #Prompt Engineer

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Finishing the project, and it's a tool I'd use for my crazy (not diddy) parties.

What we learned

I learned alot, how to use dropbox sign, talking with Brandon (a mentor) also exposed me more to the legal industry and I learned a ton and got more excited about the potential of this project after talking to him.

What's next for Contracts.ai

Changing the legal industry, imagining a future where everyone has access to a lawyer, working with other lawyers to make this happen.
