Description

Upload a contract and get it explained in plain language — obligations, fees, deadlines, exit clauses, and red flags — with every answer grounded in the actual text, fully in your browser.

What this agent can do

Contract Plain-Language Explainer is built from the Contract Plain-Language Explainer template and loads pypdf in the browser. Runs fully on your own device: llama.cpp compiled to WebAssembly, GPU-accelerated through WebGPU, with no API key and no server. After the one-time model download it works offline. Can run on OpenAI models with your own API key, encrypted in your browser. Can run on Anthropic Claude models with your own API key, encrypted in your browser.

Runs in the browser

  • Local embeddings. Computes text embeddings inside the browser with Transformers.js, the basis for searching your own text by meaning rather than keywords.
  • Document Q&A (local RAG). Answers from documents you drop in: the text is chunked and indexed locally in the browser (IndexedDB), the relevant passages are retrieved for each question, and nothing is uploaded.

Source Code

agent.py
# How many contract passages to retrieve per question. Deliberately higher than
# a generic document agent: clause-heavy questions (termination, fees, renewal)
# often span several sections, and current local defaults (8K+ token context)
# leave room for the richer grounding.
