Git for legal docs with open-source free legal templates
Open-sourcing legal templates to make legal documents free for 400m small businesses around the world. Git enabled collaboration and smart features for input fields and clause selection. AI Co-Pilot in the works.
Hey ProductHunt community,
I'd love to hear what you think about GitLaw.
GitLaw offers free, open-source legal templates with Git-powered collaboration and version control.
We have over 300 documents today and hope to receive many more. Employment contracts, NDAs, SaaS agreements, Privacy Policies etc - all free.
Docs exist - why GitLaw?
- Existing templates are often low quality and cost money.
- Using Git, we’re enabling the community to build "open standards" together.
- Smart input fields that automatically fill in the contract fields and simple on/off or variant selection for clauses makes it simple to customize and use templates on GitLaw
- A private workspace for your documents (we’ve got a lot more stuff to build here)
Isn’t AI coming to eat legal?
- Well, yes. People already use tools like ChatGPT to generate docs. But the general consensus is that while LLMs are amazing - trusted templates are a much more reliable base.
- AI presents a significant opportunity to help people *use* legal templates - but a template repository is a helpful foundation. We believe the time is right for GitLaw to exist.
- Our plan is to add a Co-Pilot in the future - an AI chatbot to act as a quasi paralegal to help summarize or adapt documents. We also think AI agents can help make legal documents much faster/easier to create / review / sign.
How is GitLaw going to make money?
- Everything we have will remain free.
- Once server costs start to add up we might add a paid option for additional features - for example - the latest LLM models for a small monthly fee and referring lawyers through a marketplace when a human is needed.
We’ve built this as a fun side project with no funding.
