Contract Clause Summarizer

WHAT IT DOES

This tool reads contract or legal document content from any webpage—contract text, terms and conditions, legal agreements, or selected text of a clause—and uses AI to provide a plain-English summary. It extracts the clause content, analyzes the legal language, and returns a clear explanation of what the clause means, what obligations it creates, what rights it grants, and any potential risks or concerns. The summary is written in plain language accessible to non-lawyers. This tool helps business owners, entrepreneurs, freelancers, and anyone who needs to understand legal documents without having to hire a lawyer for every clause.

WHERE IT RUNS

The script runs on every website and web application you visit. It works with any page containing legal content—contract documents, terms of service pages, privacy policies, legal agreements, and more. It works regardless of framework—React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, or plain HTML—and extracts content from the page as rendered in the browser.

HOW TO USE

Upon installation, a floating panel appears with the tool interface. Select the contract clause text on the page (or navigate to a page containing the legal document), and click "Scan & Summarize Clause." The tool extracts the content and sends it to the AI bridge. Within seconds, the AI returns a plain-English summary. The panel shows the source content preview and the summary with a "Plain-English Summary" label. Click "Copy Summary" to copy the summary to your clipboard, or "Copy Clause" to copy the original text. Review the summary to understand the clause without legal expertise.

TECHNICAL MECHANISM: INTELLIGENT CONTRACT EXTRACTION WITH AI LEGAL SUMMARIZATION

This tool uses a multi-layer approach to extract contract content. It first checks for user-selected text, then looks for common legal containers (contract, terms, agreement, clause, legal, policy), then scans sections, articles, and paragraphs. The extracted text is cleaned and formatted for the AI. The tool attempts WebMCP (navigator.modelContext) first if available—a W3C proposal for structured tool calls—falling back to the AI backend via GM_xmlhttpRequest. The AI is prompted to return a plain-English summary covering meaning, obligations, rights, and risks. The summary is returned as plain text with no preamble, ready for review.

THE PANEL

The panel is fully draggable and remembers its position per website using GM_setValue. It automatically snaps to the nearest screen edge when released for a clean workspace. Click the collapse button to minimize it to a small floating bubble that takes minimal space. Click the bubble to expand the panel back. The panel can be resized by dragging any edge or corner. Press the Escape key to close the panel temporarily, and click the extension icon to reopen it.

PLEASE NOTE

This script requires the free BotGentz extension and an active AI subscription. Each clause summary counts against your monthly AI usage cap. AI-generated summaries are for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal advice. Always consult a qualified attorney for legal decisions. AI summaries should be reviewed before use—the AI may occasionally misinterpret complex legal language. As websites frequently update their structure, scripts may need occasional updates to maintain content extraction accuracy. All data processing happens locally except for the AI request—only the extracted clause content is sent to the AI backend. No browsing history or personal information is transmitted or stored. This tool is designed for productivity assistance and is not an autonomous agent that acts without review.
