In a nutshell: Far too many people have found themselves signing a contract without fully understanding its terms and conditions. This is a pain point Adobe is aiming to address with its new contract intelligence tools that it has added to the Acrobat AI assistant. The AI-powered features are designed to untangle the jargon found in most contracts. These new tools generate contract overviews, highlight key terms, and offer summaries.Additionally, the AI can recommend questions users might want to explore further in the contract. One of the most notable features is the ability to compare up to ten different versions of a contract simultaneously, allowing users to identify discrepancies and check for consistency across multiple iterations of an agreement.The new features leverage a combination of LLMs and Adobe's proprietary AI models.The Acrobat AI Assistant is offered as an add-on service for both free and paid individual Acrobat accounts at $4.99 per month. Adobe has made these new features available worldwide on desktop, web, and mobile platforms. Currently, the service supports only English, with plans to expand to other languages in the future.Adobe's decision to focus on contract analysis stems from a recent survey that revealed 70 percent of consumers had signed agreements without fully understanding all the terms.Adobe said that the company does not train its generative AI models on customer data. Furthermore, the company prohibits third-party LLMs from accessing Adobe customer data or using it for training. // Related StoriesAdditionally, a series of security measures have been put in place to protect the data used by the AI Assistant in Acrobat and other products. All user content, prompts, and responses are encrypted in transit using HTTPS with TLS 1.2 or higher.

Users retain control over their chat history, allowing them to delete it or continue queries as needed.Adobe says that access to reported content, bugs, or vulnerabilities is restricted to a small group of trained Adobe employees.The Acrobat AI Assistant was introduced a year ago. One of its main selling points is its integration into Adobe's products AI chatbots generally require PDFs and other files to be uploaded first.
