Definition ## What is AI contract extraction? AI contract extraction reads a contract and turns its key terms, like parties, dates, values, payment terms, notice periods and obligations, into structured fields, so the repository can drive renewals, reports and tasks without anyone keying it by hand. Extraction does well on clearly worded fields. Plan for closer review on scanned copies, amendments that override earlier terms and values buried in schedules. In Aavenir, conflicts go to a person rather than a guess, and confirmed fields feed [Obligationflow](https://aavenir.com/solutions/contract-obligation-management-software/), renewals and reports. - Reads PDFs, Word files and scanned copies - Key terms: parties, dates, values, payment terms and notice periods - Obligations by category, with frequency and event trigger - Every field confirmed by a person before it is saved How it works ## From a folder of PDFs to a repository you can trust. - Signed PDFs, Word files and scanned copies Backfill the archive instead of keying it by hand System integrator partners can run the migration into Contractflow. - Counterparty, term, values, rate card and payment terms Each field links to the text it came from The contract manager confirms before saving. - Insurance, payments, SLAs, termination and more Recurring and event triggered obligations told apart Reviewed before any task is created. - An amendment that changes an earlier term is flagged Both clauses shown side by side The confirmed value drives renewals, reports and invoices.

Yes, Aavenir AI reads scanned copies as well as PDFs and Word files. Scans, like amendments that override earlier terms and values buried in schedules, deserve closer review, so every field is confirmed by a contract manager before it is saved. [See the contract repository](https://aavenir.com/solutions/contract-repository-software/). ### ### Which fields does Aavenir extract from a contract? Parties, dates, term, contract value, rate cards, payment terms and renewal notice periods, plus obligations by category, such as insurance, payments, SLAs and termination, each with a frequency and an event trigger flag. Confirmed obligations can move straight into Obligationflow. [See obligation management](https://aavenir.com/solutions/contract-obligation-management-software/). ### ### How do we bring legacy contracts into Aavenir? Load the archive in batches and let Aavenir AI extract the fields, then confirm them by contract type. System integrator partners can run the migration of legacy contracts into Contractflow as part of an implementation. [See Aavenir partners](https://aavenir.com/partners/).
