TC Scan

Web AppOpen SourceSourceRelease Post

A simple contract reviewer designed for non-legal professionals/laymen. Users upload their own contracts and provide their "context" which tailors the AI's response. Once reviewed, the tool provides users a plain English summary of the contract and specific clauses that are most risky. Users can also highlight portions of the contract for an even more detailed analysis, and standard chatbot where users can ask questions. Also supports Chinese and Hindi (but base language of contract should be in English) Utilises BYOK Gemini API key.

OrgView (NZ)

Web AppSource

An aggregator of the NZ Companies Register, NZBN Register & Insolvency Register. Searching for companies display their directors, and their parents, subsidiaries and all related companies in an easy to read React flow chart. Searching for individuals display their associated directorships/shareholdings of companies, and also displays whether they have been previously made bankrupt and/or disqualified as a director. QoL features include ability to save snapshots of companies & individuals for future use, and ability to export as PNGs/JSON. Does unfortunately require the user to have 4 respective API keys for each NZBN service, so more in mind for modification and internal deployment within a firm where they can use their own API keys. Still in prototype with a lot more features to add
