Inspiration
After encountering unexpected maintenance costs hidden in a lengthy contract when I was buying my car, I was inspired to create an app to help people understand to what they are legally bounded to without getting lost in the jargon of lengthy contracts.
What it does
This app aimed to simplify complex contracts, providing users with clear summaries of critical terms in bullet forms and hidden costs. The goal was to empower people with the knowledge they needed to make informed decisions and avoid financial surprises in their contracts.
How we built it
We used Python, Flask framework to develop the webapp prototype and integrated OpenAI to generate concise summaries and used dropbox Embedded sign to sign the documents right with in the web app.
Challenges we ran into
We currently are summarizing pdfs with less than 6 pages due to constraints of the resources we have to pay for the API services but we want to be able to summarize larger documents.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to build a prototype of the web app with the basic functions and hope to work on it to make it more user friendly and more features.
What we learned
We learnt that dropbox sign api was not that hard to implement and infact we were able to intergrate it with in our web app
What's next for AIContra
We want to test the prototype with actual users and also make the summaries more standardised so that we have uniform feeling across all summaries. We also want to find similar contracts in our database and suggest better deals for our customers based on other user's contract details/ offerings.
