What this skill does
Contract Analysis is Whisperit's most-used skill for a reason: it compresses what typically takes 30–45 minutes of careful reading into a structured, actionable summary in under a minute. You paste in a contract — a service agreement, a joint venture, a lease, a framework agreement — and the skill returns a layered analysis covering every dimension that matters to a practitioner.
The skill works by parsing the entire document text through a legal-trained analysis model. It identifies which clauses are standard boilerplate, which deviate from market norms, and which create unusual exposure for your client. It maps out who owes what to whom and by when, flags missing provisions that experienced lawyers would expect to see, and assigns a plain-language risk rating to the agreement as a whole.
Unlike a simple summarisation tool, Contract Analysis reasons about the contract in context. It understands that a broad indemnification clause in a software licence is different in consequence from the same clause in a construction agreement, and it tailors its commentary accordingly.
When to use it
- You receive a long-form commercial contract and need a quick orientation before a client call or negotiation session
- You are performing a rapid triage pass across several contracts in a due diligence project and need consistent, comparable summaries
- A client sends you their counterpart's draft and you want an immediate read on where the balance of power sits
- You need to brief a colleague or supervisor on a contract they have not read
What you get
The output is structured in seven labelled sections: an Executive Summary (3–5 sentences on purpose, parties, and key terms), a Key Clauses section referencing specific article numbers, an Obligations table broken out by party, a Risk Flags section with a plain-language explanation of each risk, a Deadlines & Key Dates list covering notice periods and termination windows, a Missing Provisions note flagging gaps against market standards, and a final Overall Assessment with a risk rating of Balanced, Slightly One-Sided, or Significantly One-Sided.
Example prompt inputs
- "A 28-page distribution agreement between a Swiss manufacturer and a German distributor, with exclusivity clauses and a 3-year initial term"
- "A software-as-a-service agreement, governing law English, with a dispute resolution clause I need to flag for our litigation partner"
- "My client's standard supply agreement — can you flag anything that's unusual before we send it to the other side?"
- "A lease for commercial premises in Zurich, 5-year term, with rent indexation provisions I'm not sure about"
Why legal-specific AI matters here
General-purpose AI tools will summarise a contract. What they will not do is reason about it the way an experienced commercial lawyer does. They miss the significance of a clause that looks innocuous in isolation but creates liability when read against the indemnification provision three pages later. They do not recognise when a Swiss mandatory law provision is missing from an agreement that purports to exclude it. Whisperit's Contract Analysis skill is trained on Swiss and EU commercial practice norms, understands the difference between civil law and common law drafting conventions, and produces its analysis against those benchmarks — not against a generic English-language contract corpus. Your data never leaves Swiss infrastructure.
