Reading through the Terms of service in websites is a pain. Most of the users skip reading that and click accept. The risk is that they enter into a legally binding contract with a corporation without any idea what they are getting themselves into.
How it started: I read news about Disney blocking a wrongful death lawsuit, since the victim agreed to a arbitration clause when they signed up for a disney+ trial.
I started looking into available options for services that can mitigate this and found the amazing https://tosdr.org/en project.
That project relies on the work of volunteers who have been diligently reading the TOS and providing information in understandable terms.
Light bulb moment: LLM's are good at reading and summarizing text. Why not use LLMs for the same. That's when I started building tosreview.org. I am also sending it for the bolt.new hackathon.
Existing features: Input for user entered URLs or text Translation available for 30+ languages.
Planned features: Chrome/firefox extension Structured extraction of key information ( arbitration enforced , jurisdiction enforced etc).
Let me know if you have any feedback

How does your product do in the age of AI?
I could imagine this could be sold to a whatever-legal-tech company, or maybe to a compliance company or similar.

AI and specifically the summarization capabilities of the LLMs is what made this product feasible.
This is still a side project with no plans of monetization. There is no moat (yet) that an internal team in a legal tech company cannot replicate. There are still a few interesting problems to solve in the roadmap, which I am eager to work on. Then will let life take its course
