The AI workspace for your contracts

The AI workspace for your contracts

Every freelancer, agency owner, and solopreneur has contracts scattered across email, Google Drive, a desktop folder called "Contracts," and the Downloads directory they clean out once a year. The NDA you signed with the client in January is in an email thread. The service agreement is in a shared folder. The amended terms are in a follow-up email you can't find. When a question arises about what was agreed, the answer is in a PDF somewhere, and finding it requires opening documents one at a time until you recognise the right one.

The problem isn't that contracts don't exist. It's that they're unsearchable once filed. No tool searches inside the PDF to find the specific clause about intellectual property or the payment terms or the termination provision. You know it's in there. Finding it means re-reading the document.

Fabric makes every contract searchable by clause, term, client, or concept. Find the IP provision across every contract you've signed. Compare payment terms across clients. Surface the termination clause in seconds.

Search inside every clause

AI search reads inside every contract PDF and searches by meaning. "The intellectual property clause in the Acme contract" finds the specific section. "Every contract where I retained ownership of the work" finds them across your full library. "Payment terms for monthly retainers" pulls the relevant clauses from every retainer agreement you've stored.

The search works by legal and business concept, not keyword. "What happens if the client cancels early" finds the termination provision even if the contract calls it "early termination" or "contract cessation" or "notice period."

Compare terms across clients and contracts

The AI assistant treats your contract library as a queryable collection. Ask it to compare payment terms across clients. Ask it to find every contract with a non-compete clause. Ask it to identify which agreements include a revision cap and which don't. The cross-contract synthesis that would take hours of reading happens in seconds.

When writing a new contract or negotiating terms, ask the assistant what you've agreed to in similar situations before. Your past contracts become a reference library for future negotiations. "What's the typical payment schedule I've used for retainer clients" draws from your actual agreements and gives you a data-informed starting position.

Forward and capture as they arrive

Forward signed contracts from email to email-to-note. Upload from your computer via desktop file sync. Pull in existing contracts from Google Drive or Dropbox. Everything converges in one searchable library. The contract is findable the moment it arrives rather than when you need it and can't find it.

Annotate with negotiation context and renewal dates

Annotations let you add notes to specific clauses: "negotiated this down from 90 days," "client pushed back on this, agreed to revised version," "flag for renewal in December," "this clause was the dealbreaker on the Jones contract." The annotations are searchable, so "every contract flagged for renewal" or "clauses clients have pushed back on" finds them all. The context around the agreement is as findable as the agreement itself.

Organised by client, type, and status

Smart organization tags contracts by client, type, and content automatically. NDAs cluster together. Service agreements group with service agreements. Client-specific contracts sort by client. Expired contracts are still searchable for reference. You don't need to build a filing system. The filing system builds itself.

Connect Google Drive and Dropbox to pull in your existing contract archive without re-uploading.

Share securely when needed
