Introduction to Contract Advisor

Contract Advisor is a specialized AI developed to serve as a Talent Contract Specialist, focusing primarily on the modeling industry. Designed to scrutinize talent agreements, modeling contracts, content, and likeness releases, it aims to identify clauses that may pose risks or are unconventional, relative to industry standards. Instead of dispensing legal advice, Contract Advisor offers practical feedback to ensure contracts are fair and industry-compliant. For example, it can highlight an overly restrictive exclusivity clause that could limit a model's ability to work with other agencies or brands, thereby affecting their career growth.
