FOR ATTORNEYS AND LAW FIRMS

Contract review AI that respects confidentiality by design

Your duty of confidentiality does not have a cloud exception. FolioCore runs checklists, clause extraction and version comparison entirely on your Mac, so client files are never uploaded, logged or retained by anyone.

What is FolioCore?

FolioCore is an offline AI document analysis application for macOS that reviews contracts, NDAs and due diligence files locally, on the attorney's own machine. Nothing is transmitted, so there is no vendor to vet, no data processing agreement to negotiate and no confidentiality carve-out to explain to a client.

PROBLEMS IT SOLVES

The work it takes off a lawyer's desk

PROBLEM 01

The fifth NDA this week reads like the first four

Routine agreements still demand a full read, because the one missing clause is the one that costs you.

WITH FOLIOCORE

FolioCore checks the document against a structured checklist. The built-in NDA package alone verifies 14 controls, and each item is marked OK or NOT FOUND with the supporting clause highlighted on the exact page. You review the exceptions, not the boilerplate.

PROBLEM 02

Opposing counsel returns the draft with “minor edits”

A traditional redline shows every touched character. What you need to know is which changes shift rights, obligations, amounts, dates or parties.

WITH FOLIOCORE

Semantic Redline compares the two versions by meaning. Cosmetic rewording is filtered out, material changes are summarized one per line, and each one is shown side by side on the real documents. A deterministic check on numbers and dates catches the quiet edits.

PROBLEM 03

“Where does it say that?”

Answering a client question about a 120-page agreement means re-reading the agreement, again.

WITH FOLIOCORE

Ask the document in plain language. Chat with Document answers only from the file in front of it and cites the paragraph that supports each answer. If the contract does not address the point, it says Not Found instead of improvising.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps, zero uploads

STEP 1

Open the document

Drop a PDF into FolioCore. Files are opened read-only; the original is never modified and its hash stays intact.

STEP 2

Run the analysis

Pick a checklist package, an extraction profile, a version comparison or just ask a question. Everything runs on your Mac.

STEP 3

Review grounded findings

Each result is cited and highlighted on the exact page of the original document, so verification takes seconds.

STEP 4

Export the report

Produce a clean PDF, Markdown or CSV report for your file, your client or your workpapers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions professionals ask first

Can AI review a contract without uploading it to the cloud?

Yes. FolioCore performs the entire analysis on-device using local AI models on Apple Silicon. No network call is made during processing and no document, excerpt or embedding ever leaves the Mac.

Is FolioCore safe for privileged client documents?

FolioCore runs offline, opens files read-only, requires no account and sends no telemetry. The publisher never receives or stores your documents, so there is no third party in the chain of custody.

Does FolioCore replace legal judgment?

No. FolioCore locates clauses, extracts values and compares versions, and it cites the page behind every finding. Interpretation, negotiation and advice remain with the attorney. Think of it as triage, not verdict.

Which checklists are included?

Standard packages cover M&A due diligence, supply and services contracts, patent filing triage and NDAs. Extended packages for commercial leases, GDPR data processing agreements and professional indemnity policies are downloadable. The Full license lets you build and import your own.

What Mac does it require?

Any Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later) on macOS 26 runs checklists and extraction. Chat with Document and Semantic Redline need 16GB of memory or more.
