Sullivan & Cromwell develops AI tool for draft agreement review
By Automate Basics, written with AI from OpenAI's original
Sullivan & Cromwell developed Agreement Analyzer with OpenAI to identify issues in draft agreements. The announcement summary does not say whether other legal teams can use it.
What changed
Sullivan & Cromwell developed Agreement Analyzer in collaboration with OpenAI, according to OpenAI’s announcement summary. The AI tool is intended to identify issues in a draft agreement. For someone reviewing contracts at work, that points to a way of spotting matters that may need closer attention before an agreement is finalized.
The available summary gives no examples of the issues the tool identifies. It does not describe how a reviewer submits a draft or receives the findings. Those details matter when judging whether the tool would fit an existing review process, so the announcement supports a narrow conclusion: Agreement Analyzer is a tool for finding potential issues, not a described replacement for legal review.
Who can use Agreement Analyzer?
OpenAI’s announcement summary does not say whether Agreement Analyzer is available outside Sullivan & Cromwell. It also does not name an eligible plan, a release schedule or a price. Legal teams should not assume they can sign up for it or add it to a tool they already use.
The stated purpose is relevant to people who examine draft agreements, but relevance is not the same as access. A team considering the tool would first need to establish whether it is available to them. Until more information is provided, the summary cannot answer whether it supports their kinds of agreements, how it handles confidential material or what it would cost.
How do I try it at work?
Agreement Analyzer’s announcement summary gives no instructions for using the tool, and it does not establish who can access it. If your team does have access, a sensible first task would be to review a draft agreement that a qualified colleague is also checking. That provides a way to compare any issues the tool identifies with the underlying document.
Check each finding against the agreement’s actual wording and ask whether an important concern was missed. Keep a person responsible for deciding what needs to change. The summary says the tool identifies issues; it does not say that it resolves them, explains their legal significance or approves an agreement for signing.
