GATEKEEPER AI AGENTS
NDA Review Agent.
NDAs look routine, but a single residuals clause or hidden non-compete changes what you are signing.
The NDA Review Agent checks every NDA against market-standard positions, so your legal team reads only the terms that need attention.
See it in action.
HOW IT WORKS
How the NDA Review Agent works.
NDA submitted.
The NDA is attached to the card or generated as the card’s contract draft in Gatekeeper’s workflow.
Structure identified.
The agent identifies the parties, which side you are on, and whether the NDA is mutual or one-way, judged on its substance rather than its title.
Clauses checked.
The agent checks 14 areas, from the definition of confidential information and standard exclusions to term, return or destruction, compelled disclosure and remedies.
Non-standard terms flagged.
A residuals clause is flagged as High risk, along with terms beyond confidentiality, such as non-solicitation, non-compete, standstill, exclusivity or IP assignment.
Execution checked.
Signature blocks, party names and addresses are checked for completeness, and any blanks or placeholders are flagged.
Structured output.
Findings are summarised with a verdict of Green, Amber or Red, an issues table with suggested positions and a checklist of every standard provision.
FAQS
Frequently asked questions.
What does the NDA Reviewer Agent review?
The NDA Review Agent reviews a non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement against market-standard positions, flagging non-standard terms for your legal team. It covers:
- Definition of confidential information and standard exclusions.
- Purpose and permitted recipients Term, survival, and return or destruction.
- Compelled disclosure, remedies and no-licence wording.
- Residuals clauses and terms beyond confidentiality.
- Governing law, assignment and execution.
Why is a residuals clause flagged as High risk?
A residuals clause lets the recipient use information its people retain in memory, which undercuts the protection the NDA is meant to give. The NDA Review Agent flags any residuals clause as High risk, which returns a verdict of Red.
How does it decide between Green, Amber and Red?
The NDA Review Agent returns Red when any issue is High risk, Amber when there is no High risk issue but at least one Medium risk issue, and Green otherwise. Every issue comes with a short quote, a clause reference and a suggested position.
Does it check whether the NDA is mutual?
Yes. The NDA Review Agent judges whether the NDA is mutual or one-way from its substance rather than its title, and for a one-way NDA identifies which party discloses. The result appears in the verdict line alongside your side, the term and the governing law.
What term does it treat as standard?
The NDA Review Agent treats a confidentiality term of two to five years as typical, with trade secrets protected for as long as they remain secret. It also notes whether the period runs from disclosure or from termination.
Does it replace the legal team’s review?
No. The NDA Review Agent handles the first-pass review and structures the findings. Your legal team reviews the output and decides what to accept as part of your contract lifecycle management process.
What are the configuration options?
Tailor the Agent to your organisation’s NDA positions rather than a generic checklist, including:
-
Preferred positions.
-
Acceptable term length.
-
Risk ratings by clause.
-
Verdict rules.
-
Review outputs.
