foolish-bandit builds a paste-a-clause explainer for Gary

A new screen lets you drop in any chunk of legal text and ask for it back in plain English.

summarizationcontract-review

The fork adds a stripped-down workflow aimed at one job: understanding a clause you didn't write. You paste the text, optionally note the document type, what you're trying to do, and the tone you want, then submit. The output is organised into four fixed parts - what the clause says, why it matters, what could go wrong, and a possible revision. No upload, no document picker, just text in and an explanation out.

It's early, and foolish-bandit is honest about that: the screen is live but the AI behind it isn't connected yet, so submitting tells you as much rather than failing with a vague error. The shape of the feature is the news here, not a working product.

So what Worth watching for anyone who wants a quick read on unfamiliar contract language without booking time with counsel.
