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.
