Catch the clause that would have cost you, before you sign it.
Redline is an AI agent that reads every contract, scores clauses against South African law, and flags what to check.
Every contract gets the red pen.
This is the first pass Redline gives every page: strike the wording that bites, note the Act in the margin, circle the date you cannot miss.
Every mark is a rule you can open in the app, with the Act and section behind it. And the paper never left your computer.
An AI agent that reads the whole contract.
The agent runs the same pipeline on your machine for every contract: read, sort, score, cite, diarise. Deterministic rules decide first. An on-device AI model weighs in only on the clauses that need judgement, and it never invents a citation.
The obvious risks are caught by deterministic rules you can open and read. The model adds one sentence of reasoning where judgement is needed.
The rule that fired, the weight it carries, and the Act and section it touches. Nothing to take on faith.
The engine, the statutes, and your contracts stay on your computer. It works the same with the network off.

Why Redline matters
One missed cap on liability, one auto-renewal that slipped past the notice date, and the contract you signed is the one that costs the business. Redline is the second read that never gets tired.
Every clause gets the same scrutiny, every time, whether it is the first contract of the day or the fortieth.
Renewal windows and notice periods are pulled out the moment a contract is read, with the clause they came from.
Each flag names the rule that caught it and the statute it touches, so you can defend the call, not just feel it.
A full first-pass review of any contract, on your desk in minutes.
Redline does the reading, the sorting, and the citing. You keep the judgement. Here is what each contract gives you.
Scores the risk, and shows its working
Deterministic rules run first. A small on-device language model then weighs in only on watchlist clauses, with one sentence of reasoning, and never invents a citation.
