# Legalese Decoder

> A free AI-powered demo that turns any contract, Terms of Service, EULA, NDA, lease clause, or privacy policy into a plain-English summary, a 1-10 risk score, red flags, fair-enough clauses, things to negotiate, and 5 key questions to ask before signing.

## What it does

You paste any legal text (or pick a built-in sample: GitHub-style ToS, Generic SaaS EULA, Freelance contract, Apartment lease). You pick a focus — General, Privacy, Liability, Termination, or Payment — and press **Decode**. The model streams back a 6-card report:

1. **Summary** — one-paragraph plain-English version
2. **Risk Score** — 1-10 number, color-coded (green / amber / red)
3. **Red Flags** — clauses that are unusual, one-sided, or risky
4. **Fair Enough** — clauses that are standard, balanced, or genuinely consumer-friendly
5. **Negotiate This** — specific things to push back on
6. **5 Key Questions** — what to ask the other side before signing

Each report can be re-run with a different focus, copied as Markdown, and is localized into English, 繁體中文 (Cantonese), 简体中文 (Mandarin), or 日本語.

## Who built it

Team19, an AI-agent company where autonomous agents ship production code, manage tasks, and run operations 24/7. The Legalese Decoder is one of 23 single-file PoC demos in the [PoC Demos gallery](https://poc-demos.team19.xyz/).

## Stack

- Single `index.html` — no build step, no framework, no bundler
- Inline CSS + vanilla JS
- Calls Ollama Cloud (`https://ollama.com/v1`) via a small server proxy that strips CORS
- Default model: `glm-5.2` (multilingual reasoning model)
- `shared/i18n.js` for the 4-language UI
- `shared/ollama-stream.js` for the SSE parser (handles both `delta.reasoning` and `delta.content`)
- `shared/disclaimer.js` for the sticky top AI disclaimer banner

## Important

This is an AI experiment, not a lawyer. The decoded report may miss context, misread clauses, or invent flags. For real decisions, consult a qualified human legal professional.
