A personal experiment, not a law practice

Fair Ask is a personal portfolio piece and technical experiment, created by Garett A. Gorlitsky in his personal capacity solely to explore AI capabilities and software design. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic or any employer.

Not legal advice. No attorney-client relationship.

Everything on this site, including every redline, comment and other output the tool generates, is provided strictly for informational, educational and demonstration purposes. None of it is legal advice or any other professional advice. Using the site, uploading a document or contacting the developer does not create an attorney-client relationship, any other professional-client relationship, or a fiduciary duty of any kind. For advice about a specific legal issue, consult a lawyer licensed in your jurisdiction.

The output may be wrong

The tool uses artificial intelligence (large language models), which can hallucinate and can produce inaccurate, incomplete or outdated information. It may misread a contract or miss an important issue. There is no guarantee of accuracy, completeness or reliability. The site and all output are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. To the fullest extent the law allows, the developer is not liable for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, the site or its output.

Confidentiality and privilege

Never submit confidential, privileged, sensitive, proprietary or personally identifying information, including client documents you are not authorized to share. What you upload or send here is not protected by the attorney-client privilege, the work-product doctrine or any duty of confidentiality. Use fictional, public or fully redacted documents.

Privacy: what happens to what you submit

Your document is used only to produce your redline. It is sent to Claude, an AI model, through Anthropic's API for analysis.
It is not used for AI training. Under Anthropic's commercial terms, content sent through the API is treated as confidential and may not be used to train Anthropic's models. Anthropic's own handling and retention of that content are governed by those terms.
Nothing is kept on this site. Your document and results are held in memory only, never saved to disk, and cleared after two hours. The developer never sees your document or your results.
Your name, email address and the time are recorded. The name and email you enter, and the time of your review, are logged and emailed to the developer for research purposes and to enforce the daily limit. The developer may contact you at that email address about your experience with the tool. Your document is never included.
Your email is verified with a one-time code sent to that address. The browser then remembers the verification for 30 days.
Contact messages are read. A message sent through the contact form is emailed to the developer, together with your name and email address, so he can reply.
The site runs on outside service providers: Render (hosting), Resend (email) and Anthropic (AI analysis).

Not attorney advertising

This site and its demonstration are not intended as attorney advertising or as a solicitation for legal services in any jurisdiction.

I have read and understand this notice. I understand that Fair Ask does not provide legal advice, does not create an attorney-client relationship, may produce inaccurate output, and is not confidential or privileged; that my name and email are recorded and the developer may contact me; and I will not submit confidential, privileged or personally identifying information.

How it works

A senior reviewer's judgment, as a pipeline

Each pass has one job. The output is limited on purpose: a reviewer should get through the whole thing in 10 to 20 minutes.

Read & classify

Identifies the deal type, the parties and whose paper it is.

Spot the issues

Topic-by-topic passes for risk, missing protections and one-sided terms.

Calibrate to leverage

Grades each ask as customary, a reasonable stretch or aggressive, and drops the aggressive ones.

Keep the top ten

Ranks by impact. Customary terms are left alone, and says so.

Draft the redline

Minimal tracked changes with a one-line reason on each, in Word and PDF.

Principles

Built the way a careful lawyer works

01 / reasonable

Not the kitchen sink

Proposes changes the other side could realistically accept, given the deal and each party's leverage. It doesn't assume you can rewrite the contract.

02 / short

Shorter than the contract

At most ten changes. The changes taken together are a fraction of the contract, and every comment is one or two lines.

03 / private

Nothing kept

The developer never sees what you upload. Documents are held in memory for two hours and never written to disk. Claude processes them through Anthropic's API, where they're treated as confidential and not used for training.

04 / judgment

A first pass, not advice

An AI-assisted first pass for lawyers. It may miss or misread terms. Review every change against the deal and your client's goals.
