foolish-bandit gives Gary a guided contract review lane

A new three-step workflow walks lawyers from picking a contract to reading the AI's take, without dumping them into a blank chat.

contract-reviewworkflow

Gary's home screen used to send 'Review Contract' to a spreadsheet-style tabular reviews page. foolish-bandit rewires that button to a new lane: pick or upload a contract, see a plain-English confirmation of what the AI will look for and the reminder that this isn't legal advice, then land in a chat that's already pre-loaded with the document and a fixed review prompt.

Nothing on the server changed - the prompt and the guardrails live entirely in the front end, and the old tabular reviews page is still there in the sidebar for anyone who wants it. The interesting bit is the pattern: the commentary flags this as the template for two more guided shells, for drafting and for explaining, coming behind it. Gary is quietly growing a set of named lanes instead of one generic chat.

So what Worth watching if you care about how AI legal tools move from 'here's a chatbox' to task-shaped workflows a partner can hand to an associate.

commit body Builds a frontend-only Contract Review flow that reuses the existing upload, document picker, and assistant chat plumbing - no new backend routes. - New route at /review with a 3-step lawyer-friendly UI: 1. Choose contract (existing FileDirectory single-select + upload via uploadStandaloneDocument) 2. Confirm review (selected doc, what Gary will look for, citation expectation, "answers are not legal advice") 3. Review key terms (handed off to the assistant chat) - Start Review builds a MikeMessage with a fixed review prompt and the chosen document, then reuses useAssistantChat.handleNewChat + router.push("/assistant/chat/{id}"), the same path used by the Gary-mode home InitialView. The new chat page auto-sends the prefilled message and streams the cited response. - Updates the Gary-mode "Review Contract" card to point at /review instead of /tabular-reviews. /tabular-reviews is unchanged and still reachable from the sidebar. No backend changes, no API contract changes, no auth/billing/teams, no new providers. License unchanged. https://claude.ai/code/session_019pRkhcGDRKQWHjzAnV5yCL
