Running AI analysis
Generate the AI briefing, key terms, and tracked-changes parse for a contract on demand.
After uploading a contract, you trigger the AI briefing from the contract page when you're ready. This is the AI analysis step, and it's the gateway to every other AI feature on a contract.
When to run analysis
You'll run analysis:
- The first time you upload a contract.
- Each time a new version of the contract is uploaded — for example, when
the counterparty sends a redlined
.docxback.
You don't need to run analysis if you only want to read the document — Fusial parses and displays the body on upload regardless. Analysis is what powers the briefing, the redline pass, and the response pass.
Running it
On the contract page:
- Open the contract overview.
- Click Run AI analysis.
- Confirm on the setup screen.
Analysis streams its results back as they're produced — you'll see sections of the briefing fill in over a few seconds rather than waiting for a single final result.
What analysis produces
Fusial scans the document, analyzes its structure and content, and dispatches specialized sub-agents in parallel to produce the briefing. The briefing typically surfaces:
- Counterparty — the organization on the other side of the agreement.
- Classification — the type of agreement (NDA, MSA, SOW, etc.).
- Title — a normalized contract title.
- Summary — a short plain-language overview.
- Key terms — pulled-out values like effective date, term length, fees, and governing law.
- Section outline — the document's structure, for navigation.
It also parses every tracked change in the document into discrete edit records you can decide on later.
On subsequent versions of the same contract, analysis refreshes the version-specific outputs (summary, key terms, section outline, and tracked changes) and reuses the contract-level fields from the first version.
Permissions
- Members and above can trigger analysis.
- Viewers can read the briefing once it's run, but can't trigger analysis themselves.
What's next
Once analysis finishes you can:
- Read the briefing to get oriented.
- Run an AI redline pass against your playbook.
- If the upload contained counterparty tracked changes, decide on them in the review queue — see How Fusial analyzes their changes.
