Draft, Review and Sign a Contract Without Leaving Yantra
Contract Builder writes an employment contract as you answer, Contract Review reads one you were sent, and Document Sign collects the signatures.

Contracts have two sides. Yantra has an app for each, plus one for the signatures.
If you are offering the contract: Contract Builder
Contract Builder is a guided interview. You answer questions, and a finished document writes itself beside you. Focus a question and the text it controls lights up. Click any section of the document and you jump back to the question that wrote it.
Two documents ship today: an Employment contract, following the same ten steps LawDepot's questionnaire uses, and a Non-Disclosure Agreement.
Three design choices worth knowing:
- Honest blanks. An unanswered field prints as a ruled blank, and the finish step lists every one. Nothing is silently invented.
- The model fills answers, never clauses. You can say "hiring Alex as a senior engineer in Austin, $185k, starting October 5" and the answers land in the right fields. The clause wording is fixed and reviewed, and a model cannot author it.
- Jurisdiction guards. Turn on a non-compete and the builder shows the OpenAgreements reviewer checklist for the governing state, quoting the requirement and citation, with a one-click fix such as Remove the non-compete. California gets the section 16600 warning it deserves.
When you finish: print or save as PDF, download as Word, HTML or plain text, or send it straight into Document Sign.
If you are being asked to sign: Contract Review
Contract Review reads an employment contract for the person signing it. Upload the file, and the text is extracted and redacted before you approve exactly what will be sent for review. The original file never uploads.
Pick a profile: US employment for compensation, stay-or-pay, IP scope, termination and dispute terms, or Physician employment for stacked non-compete geography, forgivable loans, production-bonus durability, clawbacks and malpractice tail.
The report cites a checklist item number and a statute for every finding. A finding with no checklist behind it is badged no statute behind this. If the model invents a citation, the finding is discarded and the discard is counted. If no checklist loads at all, the review refuses to run rather than offer an opinion with nothing under it.
This is legal information and document mechanics, not legal advice. It tells you which clause to ask a lawyer about, and why.
Collect the signatures: Document Sign
Document Sign runs on self-hosted OpenSign. Upload the PDF, add signers, place fields yourself or let it auto-place one signature per signer, and choose the rules: send in order, strict order, require an emailed code, chase signers who have not acted, expire in N days.
Sixteen field types cover signatures, initials, stamps, dates, checkboxes, dropdowns and text. The audit trail records every action, and when everyone has signed you download the signed PDF and a completion certificate. Templates and a contacts book make the second contract faster than the first.
The whole flow in chat
- "Draft an employment contract for Alex Chen, senior engineer in Austin, $185k, starting October 5."
- "Review this job offer before I sign it."
- "Send the signed-off contract to Alex for signature, then to me."
