Learn how to use AI for B2B contract analysis

Going through dozens of contracts and reviewing each for certain conditions seems like a task only humans could do. You’d be wrong, though. Using AI, you can reduce the time spent on reviews and focus on going deeper in your analysis.

Let’s try to use Claude to analyse some B2B contracts and create assessment reports for them.

Step 1. Preparing for AI-assisted contract analysis

You'll need your company's contract policies and the B2B contracts you want to review. We’ll feed your specific policies into Claude alongside the contracts and go about

• identifying risks

• generating modification suggestions

• creating assessment reports

Step 2.

Then;

• Upload an individual contract file (in text or PDF) and ask Claude to extract all the relevant data from that contract based on your policies.

• Similarly, ask Claude to create “Artifacts” for each goal we specified. I recommend using separate messages for each one (detailed prompts inside our full tutorial)

• You can repeat this for each contract you’ve received for a project.

Tip: If this is a regular part of your job, you might want to create a “Claude Project” with your policies and goals.

This walkthrough is a condensed version of this tutorial. Check it out for one-click copyable prompts and more detailed steps.
