What BlackBoiler Offers

Intelligent Contract Review

Quick Review: Get real-time, streaming AI-powered edit suggestions as you work. Select a playbook, and BlackBoiler analyzes your contract paragraph-by-paragraph, surfacing targeted edits with highlighted diffs showing exactly what would change.

Full Review: Upload your entire contract for comprehensive analysis. BlackBoiler returns a fully revised draft with all suggested edits embedded as tracked changes, organized by legal section (Indemnification, Limitation of Liability, Governing Law, etc.).

Customizable Playbooks

Playbooks are AI-trained rule sets that encode your organization's contracting standards. The built-in Onboarding Wizard walks you through creating your first playbook:

• Upload example contracts (both good and problematic)
• BlackBoiler extracts potential rules automatically
• Review and approve rules with sample edits shown for transparency
• Organize rules by legal section and contract type (NDA, Services Agreement, Subcontract, etc.)
• Continuously improve playbooks by uploading additional training documents

AI Chat Assistant

Conversational AI interface with specialized agents:

• Editing Agent: Review contracts, trigger processing, compare documents, check edit status
• Playbook Agent: Generate playbooks from redlined documents, manage training rules, search for similar language
• Clause Library Agent: Search and manage your clause library, suggest relevant clauses
• Analytics Agent: View processing metrics, edit acceptance rates, usage statistics

Chat agents can propose edits directly — simply approve or decline AI suggestions with one click.

Clause Library

Maintain a centralized repository of pre-approved clause templates:

• Organize clauses by category and contract type
• Insert clauses with automatic slot-filling (party names, governing law, etc.)
• Capture new clauses from documents with formatting preserved
• Search clauses by content or category
• Dynamic placeholders adapt to contract context

Contract Summaries

Generate AI-powered executive summaries of your contracts highlighting key terms, obligations, and risk points. Download summaries as standalone HTML documents for stakeholder distribution.
