The request
Your AI General Counsel Employee reads contracts the way a legal team would — flagging risks, suggesting protective edits, and explaining implications in plain English so you can negotiate with confidence. Hand it your business context and what you're worried about; it dispatches a Syntic Redline Specialist Agent that ships an actual marked-up document.
Tell the General Counsel to review the contract and protect you from surprises. Provide your business context and any clauses you're worried about.
"I'm reviewing a vendor services agreement for our marketing automation platform. Series B startup, limited budget flexibility."
"Ship a redlined version that protects us from getting locked in, ensures we keep ownership of our data and any work we pay for, and gives us flexibility to adjust or leave if things don't work out."
"Have the Agent create a new file that's an exact copy of the contract with track changes enabled. Redlines: deletions in strikethrough red, insertions in underlined color. Run a script that inserts real comments in the margins for each edit explaining the issue. Flag anything that could bite us later."
How the Counsel briefs the Agent
Share your business context and the contract. The General Counsel reads both and sends the Specialist Agent a brief that emphasizes what matters most for your situation.

What ships back to chat
The Redline Agent ships a redlined contract with tracked changes and margin comments — like having your legal team mark up the document with both what to change and why it matters.
"I'll review this vendor agreement through your Series B startup lens, focusing on flexibility and protection. Shipping a fully redlined version now."

Follow-up dispatches
Keep the loop going — the General Counsel dispatches new Agents as the negotiation moves.
Turn redlines into a negotiation email
The General Counsel dispatches a Drafting Agent that converts the marked-up contract into your negotiation approach.
"Draft a negotiation email that's collaborative but clear about our requirements. Prioritize edits by what matters most, explain why we need each change, and suggest compromise language where we have flexibility."
Adapt the format for easier comparison
Dispatch a Tabling Agent to ship a comparison table — every proposed change in one view.
"Ship a comparison table showing their original terms, our requested changes, and business impact for each item. Organize by priority so I know what to push hardest on and where we can be flexible."
Tips for the workforce loop
Ask explicitly for a redlined document
If the General Counsel summarizes edits instead of marking them in the file, ask for "a redlined Word document with tracked changes and margin comments." The Redline Agent runs a script that inserts tracked changes and comments programmatically. The result is editable — you accept or reject suggested edits and share markup with your team.
More context, sharper recommendations
The General Counsel gives more relevant advice when you detail your situation. For contract negotiations, explain what makes you valuable to the vendor, whether the deal is urgent, and what other options you have. Specificity gets you advice that fits — not generic guidance.
Use Projects for consistency
Projects let you upload context and standing instructions the General Counsel follows in every chat. Upload your contract standards, deal-breakers, and review criteria once — the Counsel applies them to every contract review without re-explaining. Set instructions like "always flag unlimited liability" or "prioritize payment terms." Works for any recurring workflow where you want consistent standards.
