Can I compare a Word version with a PDF?

Upload both versions you want to compare, and the comparison shows what was added, removed or reworded between them.

Does the AI change my document?

No. It summarises and compares. The document you send is the one you uploaded.

Can signers see an AI summary?

Yes, if you switch document summaries on. They still read and sign the full document.

Is the summary a replacement for advice?

No. It is a plain-language first read. Take important questions to your adviser.

Guides · Using SignAndGo

AI contract summaries and version compare.

Contracts come back marked up, a supplier sends "the same terms with a couple of tweaks", and a client asks what clause 14 actually means. SignAndGo's AI helps with the reading: a plain-language summary of the key terms, and a comparison of two versions so you can see what changed.

A summary of the key terms

Ask for a summary and you get the main points in plain words: who the parties are, what each has agreed to do, how long it runs, how it can end and what it costs to get out. It is a fast first read, useful when a forty-page agreement arrives the afternoon before a meeting.

A summary points you at what to look at closely. It is not professional advice, so take anything important to your adviser.

Comparing two versions

When a document comes back revised, compare it with the version you sent. The comparison shows what was added, removed or reworded, so a changed notice period or a new limitation clause does not slip through because nobody read the whole thing twice.

Summaries for the people signing

Switch on document summaries and signers can read a plain-language overview before they sign. For a customer who is not used to formal agreements, it can mean fewer questions and a quicker signature. They still see the full document and sign the full document.

Help writing the message

The note that goes with an envelope matters more than people think. A clear, friendly line about what the document is and when you need it back gets a faster response. SignAndGo can draft that message for you or tidy one you have written.

Using it well

Treat the AI as a careful first reader, not the last word. Read the clauses the summary flags, check the comparison against what was negotiated, and keep the final decision with the person accountable for the contract.

Where it helps most

The biggest gains come with documents that change hands several times: leases, supplier agreements and shareholder paperwork, where each round brings a new version. A comparison after every round keeps everyone honest about what moved, and a summary before the final signature gives the signer one more clear look at what they are agreeing to.
