It solves the problem of manually reviewing uploaded contracts for regulatory compliance, risk classification, and approval routing, a process that is time-consuming, inconsistent, and difficult to audit at scale. Contracts are ingested via a webhook upload trigger and text is extracted immediately. The extracted content is passed to a Legal Governance Agent backed by shared memory, which coordinates three specialist components: a Contract Review Agent (using a dedicated review model and memory), a Compliance Validation Agent (referencing a Regulatory Database Tool and compliance model), and a Slack Alert Tool with structured output parsing. The agent classifies each contract by risk level and routes accordingly, critical alerts, high-risk alerts, and standard reviews each follow distinct paths. All contracts generate an audit record. High and critical cases trigger contract review tracking, approval requirement checks, approval log preparation, and a final summary. Risk clauses are extracted in parallel, split, and stored for downstream reference."
