Never Redlining a Doc Again

5•SamuelKatsaros•8mo ago
in private equity, we waste hours editing NDAs manually. it’s mostly boilerplate: kill the residuals clause, fix governing law, shorten the term, add the return clause.

i got tired of opening Word every time, so i built something that takes a .docx and returns a redlined version — fully marked up, like a lawyer did it. just a local script + llm + a playbook of what we always fix.

surprised it didn’t exist in this form already. works well enough that i haven’t redlined manually in weeks.

sharing here in case others are doing the same thing (or have done it better). curious how people are automating doc work internally.

Tell me ab it. My firm outsources this to Pakistan.
oneplusoneis•8mo ago
Lol. There are teams that do this. I'm MM and do it, we send them 100s a day. I wonder how Blackstone and big boys like them do it.

Anyways, what's the solution like? Just AI doing it?

SamuelKatsaros•8mo ago
yeah — it’s a script that extracts raw text from .docx, feeds it into gpt-4 with a structured system prompt (playbook-style rules), parses the diffs, and rebuilds the doc with tracked changes using docx. just input → process → redline.

Outsourcing liability work sounds like an administrative landmine.
