Your Contract Repository, now powered by AI

  • How to use your AI Contract Repository

Every agreement your team signs contains high-value information: when it renews, what it's worth, who signed it, and how to get out of it. The problem isn't that the data doesn't exist. It's that once a contract is signed, that data is trapped inside a file nobody has time to re-read. 

The manual-entry problem

Keeping track of agreements frequently means someone opening files and copying dates, values, and renewal windows into a spreadsheet — and then keeping it current. When we launched PandaDoc’s Contract Repository, we gave growing businesses one place to store, organize, and track every agreement. 

AI Data Extraction is the next step. Now every contract — whether completed today or signed three years ago — becomes searchable data your team can search, filter, and report on, without opening a single file.

What AI Data Extraction does

PandaDoc’s AI data extraction turns static files into data. PandaDoc’s AI reads your signed agreements and captures over 100 key terms automatically, no typing or manual tagging required. That includes: 

  • Effective and expiration dates

  • Contract value and payment terms

  • Counterparty and signer details

  • Renewal opt-out and termination notice periods

  • Governing law

  • Liability caps

  • Confidentiality and IP terms

Want a technical deep dive into how AI data extraction works? Read our comprehensive guide to AI data extraction.

Three things you can do now

Ask your contracts a question

Your team can search by actual contract terms — not just file names – with plain language questions like "which vendor contracts auto-renew and have a cancellation notice window?" 

Turn old contracts into searchable data

Years of historical agreements become searchable. Upload legacy contracts in bulk and AI processes and extracts key terms across all of them, no matter their age or format.

Track renewals without manual reminders

PandaDoc calculates renewal and expiration dates from your contract terms and surfaces them automatically. Your team sees what's coming up months in advance, without setting a single manual reminder.

How to use your AI Contract Repository 

Ready to unlock the data in your contracts? Here’s your step-by-step guide.

Extract data automatically 

Step 1: Upload or complete a document in PandaDoc.

Step 2: AI automatically extracts key data like effective dates, renewal terms, contract values, and more.

Step 3: Review, accept, or edit AI suggestions in the Data panel to confirm accuracy.

Step 4: Add custom fields specific to your business, if needed.

Search and filter with precision

Step 1: Use the search bar to find contracts by specific terms like "auto-renewal," "governing law: California," or "contracts expiring this quarter over $150,000." 

Step 2: Apply advanced filters to narrow results by date ranges, counterparties, contract types, or custom fields.

Step 3: Filter by AI-extracted data using the filters found under "System."

Step 4: Combine multiple filters for precise contract subsets, like "all MSAs expiring in Q1 with auto-renewal clauses."

Auto-track renewal and expiration dates

Step 1: Get an at-a-glance view of upcoming renewals in the "Upcoming Renewals" tab.

Step 2: In Renewal Settings, verify the AI-suggested renewal or expiration date and make any changes needed.

Step 3: Customize notification timelines based on your business needs — 30 or 60 days before expiration, for example.

Turn legacy documents into data

Step 1: Upload existing individual or bulk agreements to your Contract Repository.

Step 2: AI automatically processes and extracts key terms from all document types, including scanned PDFs.

Step 3: Review and validate legacy extractions using the same interface.

Step 4: Add missing context or custom fields to complete your historical data.

Step 5: Your complete contract library is now searchable, filterable, and ready to report on.
