Detangle gives you AI-generated summaries of your legal docs so you can understand what you're signing.

Here's the YC SAFE, for example: https://detangle.ai/examples/yc-safe

I wonder, what happens when you read just the summary of a complex section, sign, and then years later are in a lawsuit. If Detangled's algorithm in shown to have clearly written the summary wrong... are they in any way liable? hehe notice their own terms with summaries: https://detangle.ai/terms

That was the big reason for adding the massive disclaimer everywhere, but I guess we'll see.

I also intentionally didn't just give an output of the summary but instead showed it next to each paragraph so the implication isn't that the summaries replaces the legal, but rather tries to clarify.

Glad you noticed the Terms. :)

Love it! This is one of the best uses of ML/AI IMHO. I really dislike reading leasing agreements.

Absolutely fantastic! This is a great use of AI here, definitely using this going forward. A bit concerned though, the LLC name doesn't give confidence when reading through the output with confidence.

Given how confident AI can be when it's incorrect, it feels like a bit of a problem to use AI with legal docs, since you can't really trust it to be correct (and the cost of being incorrect may be absurdly high).

What are they doing with all the uploaded document data? I didn't see that in their terms of use.

Agreed, I would still want a lawyer to take a look or anything of importance.
