Skip the confusion — find the latest redline, not the wrong draft.
The Contract Chaos
Lawyers and vendors send multiple “Final” versions — Contract_v8_final_v9_FINAL.pdf — and it’s unclear which one’s signed.
Why Gmail Search Isn’t Enough
- Can’t detect semantic differences between redlines
- Misses versions renamed outside the thread
- No easy way to match attachments to approvals
How Context Search AI Fixes It
- Redline detection: AI identifies tracked changes and markup indicators
- Version mapping: links each draft to its sender and timestamp
- Approval linkage: detects “approved” or “signed” responses in thread
Step-by-Step
- Search:
subject:contract type:pdf keyword:redline - Filter by Counterparty and Date
- Click Compare Versions → see tracked edits inline
Legal Ops Gains
- −80% time to find correct draft
- 100% version traceability
- Zero mis-sent approvals
