NDA Reviewer
Non-disclosure agreements arrive constantly - from prospects, vendors, and partners - and each one has to be checked for the same handful of terms that actually decide your exposure: whether it is mutual or one-way, how confidential information is defined, the term and survival period, permitted-use and carve-outs, non-solicit language, and governing law. Under deadline pressure these reviews get skimmed, an off-market clause slips through, and standard NDAs sit in a queue waiting for legal time they did not need. This assistant reads each NDA against your review checklist, extracts the key terms into a consistent summary, flags clauses that deviate from your standard position, and recommends approve, negotiate, or reject with notes that cite the specific language. You replace inconsistent, deadline-pressured spot-reading with a documented first-pass review every NDA gets the same way - so counsel spends time on the agreements that genuinely need judgment.

How it works
- An NDA arrives for review - as a pasted text or an uploaded PDF - along with your standard position and review checklist.
- The assistant reads the agreement and extracts the key terms: mutual or one-way, definition of confidential information, term and survival period, permitted use, carve-outs, non-solicit, and governing law.
- It compares each term against your standard position and flags clauses that deviate, such as an indefinite term, a missing residuals carve-out, or one-sided obligations.
- It recommends approve, negotiate, or reject and drafts reviewer notes that cite the specific clause, which a lawyer checks and adjusts before the NDA is signed.

Frequently asked questions
How does the NDA Reviewer extract terms from a PDF?
You upload the NDA as a PDF or paste the text directly, and the assistant reads it to extract key terms like mutual vs. one-way, confidentiality definition, term, survival period, and governing law.
Does the NDA Reviewer automatically approve or sign NDAs?
No, it only recommends approve, negotiate, or reject with cited notes; a qualified lawyer must check and adjust every recommendation before any agreement is signed.
Which apps does the NDA Reviewer connect to?
It works entirely within your Gaia workspace with no external integrations—your NDAs, standard positions, and decisions stay in your workspace.
Can I customize the review checklist for my company's standard NDA position?
Yes, you provide your standard position and review checklist when you start, and the assistant compares each extracted term against that standard to flag deviations.
Is the NDA Reviewer a substitute for a lawyer?
No, it standardizes and speeds first-pass review but is not a substitute for legal advice; a lawyer must check and adjust every recommendation before signing.
