Deals and contracts shouldn't be this painful

In most mid-market companies, critical deal and contract workflows live across email, shared drives, and ad-hoc spreadsheets. Finance and ops teams waste hours chasing status, reviewing similar language, and trying to see where things are stuck. That slows down revenue, delays vendor onboarding, and adds risk that no one has clear visibility into.

Scattered Workflows

RFPs, SOWs, MSAs and vendor contracts scattered across tools with no single source of truth.

Manual Bottlenecks

Slow, manual review and approval cycles that drain your team's time and energy.

No Visibility

No single view of where a deal or contract is actually stuck in the process.

A 4-6 week AI pilot, not a never-ending transformation

UsefulAI runs tightly scoped AI pilots focused on one painful deal or contract workflow at a time. We map your current process, design a copilot and workflow that sits on top of your existing tools, then prove impact with real deals and contracts in production.

1

Map one priority workflow

We start with a 60-90 minute working session with your finance and ops leads to map one real workflow (for example: RFP to SOW, new customer MSA, or vendor onboarding). We identify where time and manual effort are being lost.

2

Design & build the copilot

Jack and the UsefulAI team design and ship an AI copilot and workflow that plugs into your existing stack (ERP, CRM, document storage, ticketing). No major system replacement, no big-bang rollout.

3

Run with real contracts, measure impact

Over the remaining weeks, we run the pilot on real deals and contracts, refine with your team, and measure cycle time and manual hours saved. At the end, you get a clear yes/no decision on scaling the solution.
