Open source agreement operations

Know what your agreements require next.

Turn executed agreements into cited suggestions, reviewed extraction fields and tracked obligations — on infrastructure you control.

Self-hostable AGPL core. AI is optional, provider-selectable and never the final authority.

Reviewable by design

Trust starts with the document, not the answer.

Aakd keeps consequential suggestions connected to their exact source and puts authorized people in control of what becomes trusted state.

Source before answer

Review the excerpt and page that support a suggestion instead of accepting a detached summary.

Humans keep authority

AI can suggest. Authorized reviewers accept or reject supported extraction fields and obligation suggestions before they are used.

Review status stays visible

Supported extraction fields keep their source citation and review status visible to the reviewer.

Governed agent access

Useful to agents. Governed by people.

Aakd exposes agreement context through scoped API and MCP interfaces without turning a model into an anonymous decision-maker.

Agent Gateway

Read-first access model

Permission-scoped

Access follows the authenticated organization, role and API-key scope.

Minimized results

Return the fields needed for the job instead of defaulting to whole-contract disclosure.

Cited extraction context

Supported extraction fields retain source text, source page and review status.

Current write boundary

Current MCP mutations enforce member roles and API-key write scope.

The current MCP surface is being hardened in Phase 0. Granular delegated capabilities and approval controls are later-phase work; Aakd does not claim autonomous legal decisions or unrestricted agent execution.

Professional CLM breadth

A complete contract workspace, revealed progressively.

Start with one cited action. Reach the broader lifecycle tools when the work calls for them.

Available

Repository and search

Store PDF and DOCX agreements, organize versions and find contract content.

AI optional

Cited agreement intelligence

Review extracted metadata, risks, obligation suggestions and cited Q&A when an AI provider is configured.

Available

Obligations and renewals

Track owners, due dates, reminders, subtasks and completion status.

Available

Approvals and signing

Coordinate reviews, comments, approval history and optional DocuSeal signing.

Later-phase

Authoring and templates

The codebase includes editing, templates and redlining, but these are not part of the Phase 0 first-run promise.

Available

API, MCP and integrations

Use scoped interfaces, webhooks, notifications, imports and supported business-system connections.

Capability status reflects the current repository. Hosted Cloud, SSO/SCIM and formal compliance certifications are not currently offered.

AGPL core

Run the contract stack you can inspect.

Deploy Aakd on infrastructure you control. Keep the open core useful, portable and independent of a hosted service.

  • Documented deployment

    Docker-based guides cover the web app, worker, PostgreSQL, Redis and S3-compatible storage.

  • Provider choice

    Use manual workflows without AI, run Ollama locally or bring supported provider keys.

  • Portable core data

    The community product includes API access and exports without requiring a managed edition.

Production deployment requires secure configuration, backups and operational review. The development defaults are not for public exposure.

Straight answers

What is available — and what is not.

Aakd is in Phase 0. Public claims should stay as inspectable as the product.

Is Aakd open source and self-hostable?

Yes. The core is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and can be deployed on your own infrastructure using the documented stack.

Does Aakd make autonomous legal decisions?

No. AI features produce reviewable suggestions and cited answers. Humans retain authority over canonical facts, legal decisions and consequential actions.

Do I need an AI provider to use Aakd?

No. Repository, manual metadata, approvals, obligations and signing flows can work without an AI key. AI-assisted features require a configured supported provider.

Is a managed Cloud service available?

Not currently. Managed Cloud belongs to a later roadmap phase and depends on activation, customer, reliability and operational evidence.

Does Aakd include enterprise certifications and SSO?

Not currently. Organization roles, scoped access and audit records exist, while SSO/SCIM, formal certifications and enterprise assurance remain later-phase controls.

Start with one agreement and one cited result to review.

Create a workspace or inspect the source before deciding whether Aakd fits your contract operations.
