{"id":99518,"title":"Gerri 2.0 - The AI Agent for Contracts from Common Paper","tagline":"Put your redlines on autopilot","body":"Most AI contract tools are built to support a single lawyer working within Word. [Gerri is built for everyone with a stake in getting a deal signed.](https://www.getgerri.ai/) \n\n2 minute intro:[ youtube.com/watch?v=QL4nIETkZnY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL4nIETkZnY) \n\n3 minute demo:[ loom.com/share/ac7906243ce340159797af888488cb6b](https://www.loom.com/share/ac7906243ce340159797af888488cb6b)\n\n**Background:**\n\nMore than 10,000 companies have used Common Paper to close deals over the past few years. While the standards have helped, we keep hearing how painful the redline process is. The root cause is that contract negotiation is a team sport, but most tools are built for one player.\n\nMost teams end up in one of two camps:\n\n* Every redline goes to the attorney, which is expensive and slows deals down\n* Redlines get triaged first, usually by someone in sales or ops, and contracts are one of 10 things they have on their plate\n\nWhat's missing is a system where AI does the first read, loops in the right people when needed, and pulls all of their feedback into a new draft that can be sent back to the other side. \n\nThat's Gerri.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=99518\u0026key=user_uploads/71220/c7e0519b-5c7b-46d2-8456-3ecbb0a4b5b4)\n\n\n**How it works:**\n\nContracts get into Gerri three ways: upload, forwarded email, or direct inbox scanning. From there:\n\n* Gerri reads every redline against your playbook and automatically accepts, rejects, or counterproposes anything it can handle\n* Anything outside the playbook gets routed to the right person. That might be legal for indemnity questions, finance for payment terms, VP of Sales for commercial terms, etc.\n* Every AI decision cites the specific playbook rule behind it; every human override is logged\n* Gerri edits the Word doc directly and can add comments in your name, explaining the reasoning to the other side\n\nGerri typically reviews contracts before you even know they've arrived. You'll open your inbox, see a contract, and find it's already been handled.\n\n**What's new in 2.0:**\n\n* 10X faster processing engine. 90% of contracts reviewed in under 3 minutes.\n* Any contract type: your paper, their paper, standard or custom agreements\n* Personality Settings: set custom instructions that guide Gerri's behavior across all contracts, without editing individual playbook rules\n* Template Improvement: Gerri analyzes your negotiation history and suggests changes to your outgoing templates that proactively reduce future redlines. The more you use it, the smarter your paper gets.\n* Optional attorney review add-on: flat fee, 4-hour turnaround guarantee, for when you need a human in the loop\n* Available as a standalone product at [getgerri.ai](http://getgerri.ai)  - No other Common Paper subscription required\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=99518\u0026key=user_uploads/71220/304536b5-ce30-400e-8036-e43eb4c63ce3)\n\nTry it free at [getgerri.ai](http://getgerri.ai)","slug":"Pt8-gerri-2-0-the-ai-agent-for-contracts-from-common-paper","created_at":"2026-04-07T16:48:35.875Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T03:48:17.355Z","total_vote_count":11,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Pt8-gerri-2-0-the-ai-agent-for-contracts-from-common-paper","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=99518\u0026key=user_uploads/71220/c7e0519b-5c7b-46d2-8456-3ecbb0a4b5b4","company":{"id":28093,"name":"Common Paper","slug":"common-paper","url":"https://commonpaper.com/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/1a5fd0218aaaf79164dd214261cfc4cec6d668f8.png","batch":"Winter 2023","industry":"B2B","tags":["SaaS","Open Source","Sales","Legal","LegalTech"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/28093"}}
