Contracts.io in ChatGPT
Ask ChatGPT what is waiting on you, counter a clause or draft a new contract in a sentence. Lex stages the change; you review and send it in Contracts.io.
One contract needs you. Priya at Northwind proposed a lower liability cap:
Clause 5 · Liability. Each party’s total liability is capped at 9 months 8 months of fees paid.
Lex staged your counter: Clause 5 back to 9 months, with a note to Priya that 9 matches the fees at risk. Nothing has been sent.
Review & send in Contracts.ioWhat you can do

Four things people ask first.
Say it the way you would to a colleague. ChatGPT picks the right tool.
Draft from a sentence
“NDA with Kestrel before Thursday’s call, mutual, two years.” Lex drafts it and hands back a link.
Check what’s waiting
One question across every contract: who proposed what, on which clause, and how long ago.
Counter a clause
Say the number you want. Lex stages the counter with a short note; you send it when you are happy.
Explain a clause in Plain English
Paste or name any clause. Get what it means for you, without the legal wording getting in the way.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Data, the other side, and what your AI can and cannot do.
TBD: we don’t train on your contracts. (Placeholder until the data policy is confirmed and published.)
No. They open the same Contracts.io link in a browser, with no account and no AI tool needed. ChatGPT is just one way for you to work.
No. Sending, inviting and requesting signatures only happen in Contracts.io. There is no sign tool: signing always happens with you.
Nothing. Reading and explaining run on their own. Drafting, proposing a change and responding to a proposal ask you first, and even then nothing is sent.
Not yet. The connector is coming soon. Draft in Contracts.io today and your contracts will be there when it opens.
