Gerri
Common Paper, Inc. · Productivity
Gerri is an AI contract review agent built by Common Paper for teams that need to close deals faster without losing control of risk. You feed it your company's rules and past decisions, then it reviews incoming contracts and redlines against that playbook, flags what falls outside your tolerance, and drafts acceptable counter-language you can send the same day. According to the vendor, Gerri reviews more than 90% of contracts in under 3 minutes, which turns a task that used to eat a week of legal back-and-forth into a short review loop.
About Gerri
What Is Gerri
Gerri is contract review automation aimed at legal, sales, and finance teams that handle a steady stream of agreements. Instead of treating every contract as a fresh problem, it leans on a playbook: a set of rules that spells out your positions, preferences, and the answers to issues that keep coming up. The agent compares each document against those rules. Then it tells you where the counterparty has moved away from your standard terms.
The value shows up in the routine work. Gerri handles AI redline review on a counterparty's markups, flags divergences, and routes anything unusual to the right owner on legal, security, sales, or finance. A human still approves or overrides the call at a checkpoint. Every decision can become a rule for next time.
The catch is that this isn't a lawyer. Common Paper isn't a law firm, and Gerri doesn't give legal advice. It works inside the bounds of the playbook you build. Contracts that fall well outside those bounds still need an attorney. Somebody on your team also has to write and maintain the rules in the first place.
Getting Started
- Create an account through the Gerri signup page and connect the inbox or document flow your team already uses.
- Feed Gerri historical contracts and decisions so it can build your first playbook.
- Define your risk posture and the rules that govern each area, such as accepted governing law or who approves indemnity changes.
- Drop in a counterparty contract or let Gmail pick it up, then run the review.
- Accept, reject, or override Gerri's direction at the approval checkpoint, and decide whether the call becomes a standing rule.

Key features
Smart Playbooks
You give Gerri historical contracts and past decisions, and it turns them into a playbook that captures your positions. The playbook becomes institutional memory, so it gets sharper as more contracts run through it. Teams can keep separate playbooks for different contract types, like sales agreements versus NDAs.
Auto-Review of Redlines
Drop in a counterparty's marked-up contract and Gerri reviews it against your playbook in minutes. That's the core of its AI redline review. It flags where terms diverge and whether the risk fits your stated tolerance, so you know what actually needs a human eye.
Counter Proposal Generation
When a clause doesn't match your rules, Gerri suggests acceptable counter-language and inserts it directly into the document. That's the whole point. It shortens the response cycle from days to the same day.
Smart Escalation and Routing
Out-of-playbook items go to the right owner on legal, security, sales, or finance. Nobody has to guess who handles an edge case, and the right specialist gets pulled in before the deal moves forward.
Approval Workflow
Gerri doesn't run on autopilot. A human checkpoint lets you accept, reject, or override its direction on redlines, and each decision can be treated as a one-time exception or promoted to a standing rule.
Audit History
Every decision, rule applied, and rationale is logged. For teams that worry about trusting an automated process, a full record is what makes the review defensible after the fact.
Gmail Integration
Gerri can review a contract the moment it lands in your inbox. No manual routing. That removes the step of pushing documents into the tool by hand.
Proactive Recommendations
Gerri keeps watching past contracts and where customers pushed back. Periodically it points out areas worth changing so you can head off the same fight before it starts.
Pros and cons
Pros

- Playbooks capture your firm's positions instead of applying generic defaults.
- Human checkpoints and audit history keep a person in control of final calls.
- Routing by subject area cuts the back-and-forth over who owns an edge case.
Cons
- It isn't a law firm and won't give legal advice, so contracts outside your playbook still need an attorney.

- The playbook only works as well as the rules you write, which is real setup work up front.
