01 · Reader
The contract is summarized, not skipped.
Upload a PDF or DOCX. The reader names the parties, money, term, liability, and unusual language in a one-page brief before anyone is asked to sign.
AI signing desk
Sign what you actually understand.
Signed-ai reads the agreement first — flags indemnity, renewal, and data clauses — then places the fields and captures a legally binding electronic signature with a sealed audit trail you can hand to counsel.
The desk
A signature is the last line, not the first click.
Most e-sign tools race you to a scribble. Signed-ai treats the document as the work: extract the parties, mark the risk, route the right people, then take ink that will stand up later.
02 · Fields
Signature blocks find themselves.
Date, initials, title, and countersignature boxes are proposed from the layout. You accept, nudge, or lock them. No hunting through 40 pages for “sign here.”
03 · Seal
Ink with a memory.
Each electronic signature is bound to identity evidence, IP, timestamp, and a document hash. The vault keeps the certificate next to the signed file.
How a packet closes
Four moves from draft to executed copy.
Counsel still owns the words. Signed-ai owns the desk: who sees it, what they attest, and what proof remains.
Step 01
Drop the file
PDF, Word, or a template from the vault. The reader builds a brief and a field map in one pass.
Step 02
Name the signers
Route in order or in parallel. Add a watcher for legal. Require a one-time code or ID check when the stake is high.
Step 03
They attest
Each signer sees the brief, the flagged clauses, and the pages that need ink. They draw, type, or upload a mark.
Step 04
Seal the packet
Everyone gets the executed PDF plus a certificate: who, when, how identified, and the hash of what they saw.
Why electronic signatures hold
A mark is valid when intent, consent, and association are clear.
U.S. law has treated electronic signatures as legally effective for decades. Signed-ai is built around that record — not around a prettier scribble.
ESIGN Act
Federal law (2000) confirms that a contract or signature may not be denied legal effect solely because it is electronic.
UETA
Adopted in most states. Same principle at the state level: electronic records and signatures can satisfy a writing requirement.
Intent & consent
The signer must mean to sign and agree to do business electronically. We capture that click, not just a drawing.
Association
The mark is logically bound to this document version. Change a clause after signing and the hash no longer matches.
Wet ink vs. electronic
Same legal idea. Better evidence.
A pen on paper is a snapshot. An electronic signature can be a story: identity, sequence, and the exact bytes that were shown.
Wet ink
The classic stack
- Courier, printer, scan, hope the last page comes back
- Hard to prove who held the pen
- Easy to swap a page after the fact
- Fine for a lease on a kitchen table
Signed-ai
The sealed packet
- One file, one hash, every signer in a known order
- Email, SMS code, or ID check on the record
- Certificate travels with the PDF
- Built for counsel, HR, sales, and real estate desks
Desks we keep
Wherever a name has to mean it.
If a packet needs a human to attest — offer, NDA, offer letter, listing, vendor form — the same desk applies.
Legal
NDAs and outside counsel packets
Brief the risk, then countersign without a print shop.
People
Offer letters and handbooks
New hires sign what they were actually given.
Property
Listings, leases, disclosures
Initials on every page, in the order the deal requires.
Revenue
Quotes that become orders
Sales sends; finance watches; legal gates the odd clause.
From the vault
Teams who stopped signing unread.
“We used to chase wet ink for three days. Now counsel reads the brief, the founder signs on the phone, and the certificate is in the deal folder.”
Elena Voss · General counsel, studio group
“The AI flag on auto-renewal paid for the year.”
Marcus Bell · Ops
“Initials on every disclosure page, in order. Brokers stopped calling us about missing marks.”
Priya Nair · Brokerage
Open the desk
Bring a contract. Leave with a seal.
Start a packet, run the reader, and send it to the people who still have to mean it.
