Hey Product Hunt! we are Assad & Arefin, the developers of AgreeGuard. We built this because we were tired of blindly clicking "I Agree" on every website. The average Terms of Service is 4,000+ words of dense legal jargon — longer than most short stories. And buried in there are clauses about auto-renewals, data sharing with third parties, binding arbitration, and more. We asked ourselves: what if AI could read the fine print for you? That's AgreeGuard. One click, and in under 10-15 seconds you get a clear summary with red flags highlighted. It's already helped users catch $500 auto-renewal traps and hidden data-sharing clauses. The free tier gives you 5 days of unlimited exploratory experience & 2 analyses/day after 5 days trial ends — enough to check the sites you sign up for daily. No credit card needed. Would love your feedback — what features would make this more useful for you?

Highlighting data selling and hidden fees in plain English is exactly the kind of transparency most companies hope you'll skip past. The "red flags" framing is smart because it filters for what actually matters instead of summarizing the whole document. Does it work retroactively on services you've already agreed to? Would be interesting to run it against apps you're already paying for and see what you actually signed up for.

@krisba95 Thanks Christian! You nailed exactly why we built it that way — nobody wants to read a 4,000-word summary. They want to know "what should I actually worry about?"

Great question on retroactive use — yes, it works! Just visit any sign in/signup page page (like claude.ai or x.com) and AgreeGuard will analyze it on the spot. It will work if you are about to sign in or sign up - both. Because it detects the auth buttons and guards it - so when you click on them - boom AgreeGuard initialize its analysis. Here you can check the video: https://youtu.be/o6ncyT2Y0JQ

So you can absolutely audit services you're already paying for. Actually, that's one of the more eye-opening use cases - people run it on apps they've used for years and are surprised by what they agreed to without knowing.

I have clicked "I Agree" thousands of times without reading a single line. The idea of getting a 15-second summary with red flags sounds almost too convenient. How accurate is it with longer or more complex terms — does it catch the subtle stuff buried deep in the text, or mostly the obvious patterns?

@klara_minarikova Great question!

It’s actually quite good at catching subtle things like subtle stuff, sneaky auto-renewals, or vague data-sharing permissions.

That said, we’re transparent about it: every result is labeled as an AI-generated summary. For most everyday terms (SaaS, social media, e-commerce), it reliably surfaces what people usually miss. For highly complex legal docs, we still recommend checking the full text—which is why we include a “Read Full Terms” option.

The goal isn’t to replace reading, but to make sure you spot the red flags before hitting “I Agree.” That alone is a big step up from how most of us use terms today 😄

Does it flag things like forced arbitration clauses or just the more obvious red flags like data selling? Congrats on the launch!

@mateuszjacni 

It catches both! Forced arbitration, class-action waivers, binding jurisdiction clauses — those are actually some of the most common red flags it highlights.

Beyond the obvious ones like data selling and auto-renewals, it also flags things like unilateral terms changes, liability limitations, content licensing (where they take rights to your content), and account termination without notice. Thanks for the congrats — really appreciate it!

How accurate is the AI analysis? Legal language is notoriously nuanced, and a missed clause could give users a false sense of security.

@larkloss  Great question, Takahashi — and you're absolutely right that this matters.

To be upfront: AgreeGuard is not a lawyer and doesn't replace legal advice. We say this clearly in the product. What it does do is turn a wall of legalese that 91% of people skip entirely into a plain-English summary with specific red flags — things like hidden auto-renewals, data selling to third parties, or arbitration clauses that waive your right to sue.

So the real comparison isn't "AI analysis vs. a lawyer reviewing every clause." It's "AI analysis vs. clicking 'I Agree' blindly" — which is what almost everyone does today.

That said, here's what we do to maximize accuracy:

  • We extract the full document text (not just snippets) and feed it to the AI

  • Our prompt is tuned to flag specific details — actual dollar amounts, company names, and concrete practices rather than vague summaries

  • We support deep crawl (Pro) which pulls in linked policies like refund terms, billing pages, and privacy policies that companies often bury behind separate links

  • Every analysis includes a risk level (Low/Medium/High) so users know when to pay closer attention

  • Users can rate analyses as helpful/unhelpful, which helps us improve over time

Could a nuanced clause slip through? Honestly, yes — just like it would for most humans reading it. But going from "read nothing" to "flagged the 5 most concerning things in 10 seconds" is a massive upgrade for everyday users.

We're continuously improving the analysis quality and would love your feedback if you give it a try!
