ContractPodAi is on a mission to transform the way the world makes agreements and empower teams to focus on what matters.
Lawyer led and AI-powered, ContractPodAI was initially developed by attorneys as a solution for legal teams suffering particular pain around time - the lack of it, the demand for it, and the inability to manage it. We needed to regain control of our contract lifecycle process — so we got to work.
Now, more than ever, it's clear legal teams aren't the only ones struggling with insurmountable workloads and increasingly complex contracts. That’s why we’ve spent over a decade evolving our AI with our CLM to be the tool where teams from every industry take charge of their agreements — anywhere, at any time.
With unmatched technology and category-defining innovation, Icertis pushes the boundaries of what's possible with contract lifecycle management (CLM). The AI-powered, analyst-validated Icertis Contract Intelligence (ICI) platform turns contracts from static documents into strategic advantages by structuring and connecting the critical contract information that defines how an organization runs. Today, the world's most iconic brands and disruptive innovators alike trust Icertis to govern the rights and commitments in 10 million+ contracts worth more than $1 trillion, in 40+ languages and 90+ countries
