Deal-to-Contract Agent
Describe a deal in plain language and get a complete, ready-to-sign contract.
The Deal-to-Contract agent is the fastest way to go from a verbal agreement or deal outline to a fully structured legal contract. Instead of choosing a contract type and filling in individual fields, you describe the deal as you understand it — the parties, the terms, what's being agreed to — and the agent handles the rest.
How it works
Describe the deal
Open the Agents panel from the sidebar and select Deal-to-Contract. In the input area, describe the deal in plain language. Include the parties involved, what's being exchanged or agreed to, key terms like payment amounts and timelines, and any special conditions. Write it the way you'd explain it to a colleague.
The agent determines the contract type
Based on your description, the agent identifies the most appropriate contract type. A description involving ongoing work and monthly payments becomes a service agreement. A one-time purchase of intellectual property becomes an asset purchase agreement. You don't need to know the legal category — the agent figures it out.
A full contract is generated
The agent generates a complete contract with all standard sections: definitions, scope of work, payment terms, liability, termination, governing law, and any clauses specific to the deal type. The output streams in real time so you can watch it take shape.
Edit in the contract editor
Once generation is complete, send the contract directly to the contract editor where you can review every clause, make adjustments with QuickEdit, and then export or send it for signature.
Example
Here's a typical input and what the agent produces:
Input:
We're hiring Sarah Chen as a freelance UX designer for our mobile app redesign. She'll work 20 hours per week at $150/hour for 3 months starting June 1. We own all the work product. She can't work for our competitors during the engagement. Payment is net-30 after she submits monthly invoices.
Output: A complete Independent Contractor Agreement covering scope of work, compensation ($150/hour, 20 hours/week), term (June 1 through August 31), intellectual property assignment, non-compete provision, invoicing and payment terms (net-30), confidentiality, termination conditions, and governing law.
The more detail you provide, the better the contract. Include names, amounts, timelines, deliverables, and any special terms. If you leave something out, the agent will use reasonable defaults — but specifying everything upfront saves you editing time later.
When to use Deal-to-Contract vs. standard generation
Use Deal-to-Contract when you have an informal deal and want a contract quickly without picking a type or filling in structured fields. Use standard contract generation when you already know the exact contract type you need and want to fill in specific fields like jurisdiction, governing law, and payment schedules individually. Both paths produce the same quality of output — the difference is in how you provide the input.
