Contract analysis with AI

What can AI take over in contract analysis?

AI can search contract material for specific information, summarise relevant clauses, and surface differences between an offer, a signed contract, and later addenda. This reduces research work, but does not replace legal or professional judgement.

yeos keeps statements connected to the document, section, and context they rely on. Responsible people can check whether a clause applies, whether an addendum changed it, and whether further material is missing.

Find renewal dates, terms, and obligations

Day-to-day questions rarely begin with an entire contract. They are: When does this agreement end? Which notice period applies? Who owes which service? Which liability limit was agreed? The answer may be spread across versions, attachments, and email.

A yeos agent can search approved contract sources for these questions, gather the relevant passages, and flag open points. The version and date behind a statement remain visible throughout.

Compare contract versions and addenda

An addendum may change a term, price, service, or liability rule without making the original contract irrelevant. A reliable analysis must show differences rather than simply select the most plausible wording.

yeos helps find differences across approved versions and review their context. Whether an addendum is effective or how a clause should be interpreted remains for the responsible specialists or legal advisers to decide.

Checklist: what an AI contract analysis finds

These points matter in most contracts. yeos looks for them across approved contracts, attachments, and addenda and cites where each one was found.

1. Parties and subject: who are the parties, and which service is owed?

2. Start, term, and renewal: is the contract fixed-term, open-ended, or does it renew automatically?

3. Notice period and termination date: how far in advance, and to which date, can it be terminated? Where the contract is silent, the statutory periods of the Swiss Code of Obligations may apply depending on the contract type – your specialist checks this.

4. Prices and price adjustment: fixed prices, index clauses, inflation adjustment.

5. Liability, warranty, and penalties: what is limited or excluded, and which contractual penalties apply?

6. Data protection and confidentiality: is there a data processing agreement or a confidentiality clause?

7. Governing law and jurisdiction: Swiss law, foreign law, arbitration clause?

8. Changes through addenda: which of these points did a later addendum change?

Typical contracts in Swiss SMEs

Supplier and framework agreements: compare price adjustments, minimum purchases, and notice periods across contracts before a renewal comes up.

Rental and leasing agreements: terms, options, and termination dates for premises, vehicles, and equipment at a glance.

Maintenance, software, and service contracts: which contracts renew automatically, and by when must they be cancelled?

Customer contracts and terms: which customers have different liability, payment, or delivery terms?

AI contract review: what AI does and does not do

An AI contract review in yeos answers "what is written where?" quickly and with evidence. It shows differences between versions and makes it visible when a contract and an addendum contradict each other.

Whether a clause is valid, how it should be interpreted, or whether a contract should be signed is still assessed by a specialist or your legal adviser. yeos prepares that review rather than replacing it.

Search contracts with AI safely

Contracts often contain confidential customer, pricing, or personnel information. An AI workflow should therefore access only explicitly approved sources and respect existing permissions. Not every contract repository belongs in every answer.

For important decisions, teams check the source, version, scope, and intended recipient. yeos makes uncertainty and conflicting information visible rather than concealing it in a smooth summary.
