AI-first. AI optional.

How much AI runs your account: DIY, DWY, DFY.

One setting on your account, and the same system at every level. Contracts Connected runs with no AI at all, with AI that reads and recommends, or with an AI agent that does the work. Change it any time.

Three glass layers stacked above a white base: the platform, the AI review layer and the AI agent layer.
In one paragraph

Contracts Connected has three AI levels, chosen per account and changed any time. DIY: the whole Contracts Connected system with no AI anywhere on the account, and every other feature works the same. DWY, done with you: the AI reads the documents you switch it on for against what is required, tells you accept or reject and why, and drafts the messages to vendors but never sends them. DFY, done for you: the AI agent, with its own email address and phone number, works from your requirements in Human in the loop or Auto mode and sends for signature only after your internal approvals.

Three levels, one system

Pick how much AI runs on top of the platform. Change it any time.

The platform is the same at every level. Each level adds to the one below it, and one setting on your account decides which you run.

Do it yourself · No AI

The platform, with no AI anywhere.

Every feature of the platform, run by your people. No AI model touches your documents.

  • Your templates, filled automatically
  • Approvals, redlines and e-signature
  • The vendor portal and reminders
  • The tracker, filing and reports
Everything in Do it yourself, plus
Done with you · The AI reads, you decide

Add AI document review and the company brain.

AI document review

Every document read against your requirements the moment it arrives: accept or reject, with the reason and the note to the vendor drafted.

  • Insurance: coverage, limits, endorsements, expirations
  • Weekly certified payroll against the wage determination
  • Contracts read for risk before they go out
  • W-9s, licenses, bonds and lien waivers

Company brain

Ask anything across every document and message. It doesn't guess and doesn't summarize. It opens the document and highlights exactly where the answer is.

  • Answers from your own documents, never a guess
  • Highlights exactly where the answer is
  • Every project, vendor and message

Everything in Done with you, plus
Done for you · The AI agent

Add an AI agent that does the work.

Your AI agent has its own email address and phone number and runs contract operations from the award email to closeout. You decide how much it does without you.

  • Sets up projects and drafts contracts from a request
  • Chases vendors and nudges your team when it is waiting on them
  • Downloads, files and sends your team status updates
  • Human in the loop or Auto mode, every action logged

The same Tuesday, three ways

The work is the same at every level. The setting decides who does it.

One morning on a sample account, written the same way at every level. Only the name on each row changes, and the portal's reminders go out whichever level you are on.

Who each is for

Start where you are.

DIYDo it yourself

Teams that want the whole Contracts Connected system and none of the AI: work that restricts it in writing, and people who are not ready to trust a model yet.

DWYDone with you

A contracts manager who wants every document read against the requirements, and keeps every decision.

DFYDone for you

A team that wants the chasing, answering and filing done, and approves what goes out.

Change it any time. One setting per account. Move up when you are ready, back down any time, no penalty. Nothing else about your account changes when you do.

How credits work

Software is the plan. AI is metered.

The AI level sits on top of any plan. DIY is $0. DWY starts with $500 of credits, drawn per document read and topped up $500 at a time. DFY is the AI agent plus credits, priced on a call.

Questions people ask about the AI

Answered the way we answer them on a demo and on the security questionnaire.

Do I have to use the AI?

No. DIY is the full system with no AI anywhere on the account. The AI never touches your documents. Every other feature works the same, and you can switch a level on later.

Can we switch levels later?

Yes. The level is one setting per account. Move up when you are ready, back down any time, with no penalty. Credits you have bought stay good through the agreement.

Does the AI train on our documents?

No. Zero data retention at the model vendor: your documents are not kept there and are not used to train models. On DIY no AI model touches them at all.

Can the AI send a contract without approval?

No. On DWY the AI drafts the messages to vendors and never sends them. On DFY the AI agent sends for signature only after your internal approvals are done, exactly as a person would in DIY.

What about federal jobs that prohibit AI?

Run them on DIY. No AI anywhere on the account, and we put it in writing as a term of the agreement. Every other feature works the same.

What is the company brain?

A private index of every document and communication on your account that your team can ask questions of. It answers and opens the document it answered from. It builds from everything DWY and DFY collect.

See the system with the AI on, or off.

It reads, chases and files from its own inbox. You set how much.
