Our AI is trained on millions of legal and technical documents and is highly accurate for standard contracts (rental agreements, NDAs, employment contracts, terms of service, etc.).
However, explains.app is an understanding tool, not a replacement for a lawyer. For complex legal situations or high-stakes decisions, we always recommend consulting a professional. Think of us as your first step to clarity.
Absolutely. Your documents are encrypted in transit and at rest using bank-level encryption (AES-256). We don't share, sell, or use your documents for anything other than providing you explanations.
You can delete your documents anytime, and they're permanently removed from our servers. We're GDPR compliant and take your privacy seriously.

AI Chat lets you have a conversation with our AI about any specific paragraph in your document. Select a section, open the chat, and ask follow-up questions — like "What does this mean for me?" or "Is this clause standard?"
The AI has the full document context, so its answers are specific and referenced. Your conversations are saved, so you can pick up where you left off. Available on the Professional plan.
