AI contract review in Teams + SharePoint
PRAX-01 reads new contracts in your SharePoint legal-review folder, marks deviations against your written playbook, and posts a redline summary in the legal Teams channel.
The problem
Legal teams review hundreds of contracts a year. Most are mostly the same. The deviations — the indemnity clause that flips, the auto-renewal that changes from 30 to 90 days — hide in 40-page documents nobody has time to read line by line. The first-pass review work is recurring and pattern-based. The judgment work is what actually needs the lawyer.
Who this is for
General Counsel, contracts managers, and legal-ops leads at companies with active vendor and customer contract pipelines. Especially useful when contracts already land in a SharePoint folder for review and the team operates out of Microsoft Teams.
What it does weekly
- · Watches the SharePoint legal-review folder for new contracts
- · Reads each contract against your written playbook — standard terms, redlines you accept, redlines you don't
- · Marks deviations clause-by-clause in a redline document
- · Posts a one-paragraph summary in the legal Teams channel: what's standard, what's flagged, what needs lawyer judgment
- · Files the redline back to SharePoint linked from the original contract
- · Tracks the playbook over time — surfaces clauses your team always edits, suggests they become standard
First useful output
A redline summary in the legal Teams channel for the most recent contract in the review folder, with the clause-by-clause deviations highlighted.

How it works
| Trigger | Action | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| New contract lands in the SharePoint legal-review folder | PRAX-01 reads the contract against your playbook, marks deviations clause-by-clause | Redline document filed in the same folder; summary posted in the legal Teams channel |
| A clause appears that doesn't match the playbook and isn't an accepted redline | PRAX-01 highlights the clause and tags the legal-ops owner in the channel thread | Lawyer's review starts on the flagged clauses, not the whole contract |
| PRAX-01 sees the same redline pattern across multiple contracts this quarter | Posts a pattern note: 'These three customer MSAs all changed the auto-renewal to 90 days. Should we update the playbook?' | Playbook stays current with the deals you're actually closing, not the playbook you wrote two years ago |
| Contract gets executed | PRAX-01 logs the final terms back to your contract management system and tags the deal owner | Deal team sees the final terms; legal sees the executed clauses for next time's playbook update |

What it costs
PRAX-01 costs a small fraction of what a mid-market contracts manager costs. The agent does the parts of contract review that scale — the side-by-side comparison, the deviation-marking, the playbook-pattern tracking. A contracts manager runs $8–12K/month fully loaded; the negotiation and the judgment calls stay with them. PRAX cannot replace a senior lawyer; it makes one's first pass dramatically faster. See the math on /pricing.
Edges of this connection
PRAX-01 currently does not:
- Make legal judgment calls. The agent flags deviations against your playbook; the lawyer decides whether to fight, accept, or escalate. The constitution forbids the agent from advising on legal strategy.
- Sign contracts. The agent reads and reviews; humans sign.
- Replace specialized contract review platforms. Evisort, Kira, and Ironclad are great at the deep-feature contract-AI job. PRAX is the Teams-native first-pass surface for teams that want a Teams thread, not a separate platform.
- Read contracts protected by Microsoft Information Protection labels that block external apps. The agent skips and surfaces the skip; the team handles those manually.
