Analyze NDA Online: Detect Risks in Seconds

How it works

1. Upload your document (PDF or DOCX).
2. AI scans clauses, definitions, and cross-references.
3. BrieflyGo flags risks and explains the practical impact.
4. You get a plain-English summary you can negotiate from.

What risks are detected

• Residuals clause

  They can reuse ideas later while claiming it wasn’t “confidential”.

• Return/destruction is missing or vague

  Copies remain and create future breach risk.

• “Confidential Information” is defined too broadly

  You can breach by accident through normal work or common knowledge.

• No advisor/contractor disclosure carve-out

  You may be blocked from sharing the deal with your team or accountant.

• Survival term is “in perpetuity”

  Obligations can last forever after the relationship ends.

• One-way confidentiality

  You protect them, but they don’t protect you equally.

• Injunctive relief language

  They can threaten emergency court action before you can fix a mistake.

Why it matters

• You can lose leverage if the other side can seek an injunction fast.
• You can lose money if a "breach" turns into settlement pressure or rushed legal work.
• You can lose time if you can’t share the document with contractors or advisors.
• You can lose future options if confidentiality lasts forever and blocks normal reuse.

Real example

A freelancer signs an NDA that bans disclosure to “any third party”. They can’t share with a subcontractor, miss a deadline, and lose a $1,800 milestone.

What AI checks

• “Confidential Information means any and all information…”
• “including but not limited to” in the definition section
• “in perpetuity” / “forever” / “without time limit”
• “injunctive relief” / “irreparable harm”
• “residuals” / “unaided memory”
• “no license is granted” (while still restricting use)
• “return or destroy” missing or vague

Why use AI

• AI highlights one-way obligations so you can request symmetry.
• NDA risk hides inside definitions; AI surfaces definition scope fast.
• AI spots missing carve-outs (public, already-known, independently developed).
• AI flags survival terms and helps you ask for a realistic end date.

FAQ

• Is it safe to upload documents?BrieflyGo is designed to analyze documents and return a risk report. Avoid uploading extra personal data you don't need for the analysis.
• Is this legal advice?No. It's an educational risk scan that helps you spot wording to negotiate or review further.
• How do I use the results? Use the flagged clauses as a checklist: ask for limits, clearer definitions, and fairer terms.
• When should I scan? Before you sign - and again after edits, because risk often changes in the final draft.
