Smart Data Capture (SpotDraft AI)

Learn how Smart Data Capture utilizes AI to swiftly extract contract key pointers and get concise summaries with justifications.

What is Smart Data Capture?

Smart Data Capture, powered by SpotDraft AI, simplifies the process of extracting key data from your contracts. It utilizes advanced large language model (LLM) and OCR technology for automated data analysis and extraction.

This feature not only streamlines the extraction process but also enhances the searchability of your documents, making it easier to manage executed contracts and other documents within your workflow.

💡
Each document should adhere to the following criteria: its size must not exceed 30 megabytes, and it should have one of the accepted file extensions, which include .pdf.

How to add AI-suggested key pointers to your contract

Smart Data Capture not only extracts key pointers but also provides AI-based suggestions.

Follow these steps to incorporate them into your contract -

Step 1

Open the uploaded contract and switch to the 'Contract' section.

💡
Note: SpotDraft AI will warn you and prevent you from adding a wrong key pointer that isn't relevant to your contract.

Supported Contract Types

SpotDraft supports any contract type, including employment agreements, non-disclosure agreements (NDA), service-level agreements (SLA), partnership agreements, void contracts, and more.

Verifying AI-Extracted Key Pointers

While SpotDraft AI provides accurate key pointers, it's essential to verify them for accuracy. Verification ensures accurate reports and search results without errors.

The 'Verify All' feature simplifies this process -

Step 1

Open the uploaded contract and switch to the 'Contract' section.

Step 2

Open the Key Pointers section on the tooltip strip to view the extracted key pointers.

Step 3

Click on the 'Verify All' button to validate all extracted key pointers. Alternatively, you can manually verify the extracted key pointers as well.

What are Smart Finder Recommendations?

Smart Data Capture uses SpotDraft AI to carefully analyze the contents of your contracts and provide accurate recommendations to eliminate errors.

SpotDraft AI utilizes advanced large language models (LLMs) to extract important information from your uploaded contracts, ensuring the highest quality recommendations.

Smart Finder Recommendations displays these suggested key pointers along with the contract reference and a clear explanation, making it easy to review.

You have the option to either accept the recommendation or manually add a relevant key pointer after verifying its accuracy.

💡
Please note that SpotDraft AI provides warnings if you attempt to add an irrelevant key pointer to your contract, preventing you from including it.

What are metadata descriptions?

AI-metadata descriptions in contracts involve the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies to automatically generate or extract metadata from contract content.

This metadata offers a structured representation of the contract's content, simplifying tasks such as management, search, analysis, and retrieval of contract data.

Here are key aspects of AI-metadata descriptions in contracts -

  1. Data extraction: AI employs natural language processing to extract specific details like names, dates, and clauses from contracts.
  1. Metadata generation: Once the relevant data is extracted, AI systems can generate metadata tags or labels for each extracted element. For example, if a contract contains a date, the AI system can generate metadata that identifies it as the "contract effective date."
  1. Search and retrieval: With AI-metadata descriptions, users can search for specific contract terms or clauses more efficiently. They can use keywords or metadata tags to quickly locate relevant contracts or specific sections within contracts.
  1. Efficiency and accuracy: By automating the extraction of contract data, AI-metadata descriptions improve the efficiency of contract management and reduce the risk of manual errors.
  1. Data analytics: Contract metadata can be aggregated and analyzed to gain insights into contract performance, supplier relationships, and other relevant business metrics.

How to edit key pointer descriptions manually

To edit the key pointer descriptions manually, follow these steps -

  1. Go to ‘Manage’ > ‘Key Pointers’ from your SpotDraft dashboard

Types of metadata properties that can be detected

SpotDraft AI detects 1,000+ properties, the out-of-the-box. The two different property types are -

  1. Contract field: A contract field is a variable element in a contract, like names or amounts, customized for each agreement.

Examples of contract fields include names, addresses, dates, monetary amounts, product descriptions, and any other variable information specific to a particular contract.

  1. Clause: A clause is a specific section in a contract that outlines terms, obligations, and rights, such as confidentiality or dispute resolution.

Common types of clauses include indemnification clauses, confidentiality clauses, termination clauses, dispute resolution clauses, and governing law clauses.
