Gerri

What is Gerri?

Gerri is a contract negotiation agent built by Common Paper. It handles the full contract review workflow — importing contracts via email or upload, applying your company's playbook to automatically accept, reject, flag, or summarize clauses, and routing anything outside the playbook to the right person. Over 90% of contracts are reviewed in under 3 minutes. Unlike traditional legal AI tools that only assist lawyers, Gerri is designed for the entire deal team: sales, finance, ops, and legal. It also continuously learns from team decisions, drafting new playbook rules with one-click suggestions to scale judgment over time.

Key Features

• Automated Contract Review

  Imports contracts via email or file upload and applies company-specific playbook rules to automatically accept, reject, flag, or summarize clauses — completing 90%+ of reviews in under 3 minutes.

• Smart Playbooks

  Learns from team decisions and drafts new playbook rules automatically. Users can apply suggestions with one click, refine them, or dismiss them to keep the playbook evolving.

• Human-in-the-Loop Routing

  Clauses outside the playbook are flagged and routed to the right team member for review, preventing bottlenecks without sacrificing oversight.

• Cross-Team Collaboration

  Designed for sales, finance, ops, and legal — not just lawyers. Any stakeholder involved in getting a deal signed can use Gerri within their workflow.

• Natural Language Playbook Editing

  Update contract rules using plain language. No legal coding or template configuration required — just describe what you will or won't accept.

Use Cases

• Sales Cycle Acceleration : Sales teams can clear contract redlines without waiting on legal, reducing deal slippage and shortening time to close.
• Legal Risk Management : Legal teams can define acceptable terms once in the playbook, letting Gerri enforce them consistently across every incoming contract.
• High-Volume Contract Processing : Companies dealing with large numbers of vendor, partner, or customer contracts can automate the bulk of review work without scaling headcount.
• Cross-Functional Deal Workflows : Finance and ops teams can stay informed on contract status and exceptions without relying on legal to manually relay updates.
