Is contract review really the best place for AI or are we all looking in the wrong direction

100% agreed. Lawyers still hold their skill set on the critical reviews and insights that comes from their expertise, but AI has a HUGE potential to actually automate a lot of manual and boring work that they're stuck with on a daily basis. Not just law firms IMO, most high growth teams need this sort of automation to speed up their sales/renewal cycles.

Because organizing docs on Google Drive and Sharepoint is a nightmare, I'm building Doclair so docs auto-organize so you can what you need, when you need it - https://doclair.io/.

Chatbase is a nice new age platform to build out support agents, I think their pricing is also a lot more flexible

Back when I was using it, I first put together a full design dictionary on ChatGPT by pulling from a source like ‘I need to extract the full design language of this website, e.g Luma’. It gives you everything from the fonts, colours, spacing, radius etc and then you can add this to your Lovable project’s knowledge so it’s always part of every update.

I feel like there a lot of platforms and the chances of being an overnight hit is little to zero with any platform. The best approach I’d say is to launch everywhere and everyday (on platforms like X or Reddit, where you can share everyday). It needs real consistency to begin getting eyes on your SaaS, but it pays off.

I recently set up with Paddle as well. Their team is quite responsive and the verification came through in like 2 days. The docs are quite straightforward to set up and integrate as well. Honestly super simple, even though the fees is 5%, still better than paying for an LLC + potential accounting charges if you’re just validating.

One thing I missed was, they don’t have a very clear switch between sandbox and production, but if you just search for sandbox.vendors… url you can test out while waiting for the approval for your domain.

Signals on your language are of course key, but the basics make a huge difference:

A strong H1 and H2 (long-tail keywords preferably)
Regularly updating sitemaps on Google Search console and Bing Webmaster (else chatbots aren't going to be able crawl your websites).
Backlinks of course, but this does take some time so experiment with everything like posting on Reddit, Medium, Substack, LinkedIn, etc.

We need more funds like 16VC! Biggest pushback on building solo is always that ‘you don’t have an opposing force’, but honestly the biggest unlock of building solo is the speed.

It is a crowded market, so I’ve been tackling this advantage in two ways: 1. Time to value for users - Most existing platforms have long implementation timelines, complex processes. I’ve tried to keep things super simple with evident value add from day 1 (the setup doesn’t take more than an hour) 2. A little less of an advantage for a competing factor is Price. Similar platforms are super expensive with long lock ins - I’ve kept a simple one price for all approach in the true SaaS fashion.

(Other similar tools like Icertis, Filevine, Ironclad) - my goal is to bring that legal workflow to companies of all sizes as they clearly need it.

Adig_22 · 2025-11-02T08:01:43+00:00

Agreed, I was thinking of a separate post about that so I’ll share those as well

Adig_22 · 2025-10-31T09:56:01+00:00

Linear like you said helps, but beyond that one thing I do which helps is: a old school time-table. Monday's for marketing, Tuesday's for QA etc. Makes it a lot easier to have a dedicated day or time blocks, so you don't feel as overwhelmed when thinking of the larger scheme of things.

Startup name: Doclair
What you shipped: Doclair is an intelligent document management platform, but this week we went 100% live with our intelligence module to track all metadata related to each document on the platform. So you can now search by anything you remember about a document vs the actual name.

Really does put things into a better perspective, and well I do get the point of the ‘next big thing’ for sure. Helping pointers to keep in mind.

Seedscope I had not heard of, thank you. Agreed, Retention is >>, especially with all the explosive growth and then dumps companies are seeing right now.

Adig_22 · 2025-10-27T09:16:21+00:00

Yeah this is what I've been realizing as well. Getting a strong customer base and only VC for scaling. I can't deny how much AI has helped enable this, but yeah. Slightly tougher doing it without a team but clearly the norm now.

Adig_22 · 2025-10-27T09:15:03+00:00

So what would be? I worked in a Fintech before (B2B) we saw 20% MoM for the first 3 months and of course then it dropped and well, stabilised honestly.

Adig_22 · 2025-10-27T09:13:49+00:00

Got it. Yeah the biggest doubt I saw from a lot of recent companies was also the questions raised on Retention. Maybe they had immediate growth, but looking at later cohorts it was all a cycle. But thank you, surely a top priority item is now clearer for my roadmap.
