Document Detective

Paste the document. Find what matters to you.

Insurance EOBs, HOA notices, school newsletters, corporate policy updates, lease amendments, benefits packets — you receive them, you skim them, you miss the one thing that mattered. Paste the full document and describe your situation ('renter, no kids, have a dog'), and Document Detective extracts ONLY what requires your action, costs you money, saves you money, or affects you personally. Not a summarizer — a personalized relevance filter.

Real output from an actual run on the lease clauses below. Part of the result is shown; nothing is reworded.

The document (three clauses from a tenancy agreement)

CLAUSE 14 — BREAK CLAUSE 14.1 Either party may terminate this Agreement after month 12 by giving not less than two (2) months' written notice. 14.2 Notice given under this clause must expire on or after the last day of month 12. CLAUSE 17 — RENT REVIEW 17.1 The Landlord may increase the Rent once in any 12-month period by serving notice in writing, such increase to take effect not less than one (1) month after the notice is served, and to reflect no more than the percentage change in the relevant regional rent index over the preceding 12 months. CLAUSE 21 — DEPOSIT DEDUCTIONS 21.1 The Landlord may deduct from the Deposit any reasonable costs of professional cleaning where the property is not returned in a condition consistent with a professional clean at the start of the tenancy, regardless of whether one was carried out. My situation: I signed this ten months ago and want to move out at the eleven-month mark for a job in another city.

Real run, 2026-10-08 — one of the tool's own built-in examples.

The earliest exit the break clause allows

If you want to exit at the earliest point the break clause allows, the soonest your notice could expire is the last day of month 12, which means you would need to serve notice no later than the last day of month 10 to achieve a month-12 exit.

Leaving at month 11

To leave at month 11, you would need the landlord to agree to an early termination outside the break clause — the document does not provide that route. If you intend to use the break clause at the earliest possible point, you would need to serve at least two months written notice, with that notice expiring no earlier than the last day of month 12.

Questions to ask the landlord

Will you agree to release me from the tenancy early, at the eleven-month mark, given my circumstances?
If we agree to early termination, what will you require in terms of property condition before returning my deposit?
What is the exact last day of month 12 as you count it from the tenancy start date, for the purposes of clause 14.2?

Where to get outside help

Whether the cleaning deduction in clause 21.1 is enforceable given no professional clean was documented at move-in — and what 'reasonable costs' means in practice in a dispute — Your deposit protection scheme — if the deposit is registered with one, it will have a dispute resolution process and published guidance on what evidence it considers when adjudicating cleaning deductions.

In a Nutshell

When: A long document arrived and most of it isn't about you.
You give: The full text and the document type.
You get: Only the parts that affect your situation, and what to do about each.
The edge: Not a summary. A shorter version of irrelevant information is still irrelevant — this filters by whether it applies to you.

Good to Know

More situation detail = better filtering. 'Single, 28, basic health plan' filters differently than just 'employee'
Action Required items show deadlines and consequences — these are the ones people miss and regret
'Buried but Important' specifically calls out things hidden in fine print or dense paragraphs
The 'Safely Ignore' section is genuinely useful — it gives you permission to stop reading
'Consult Professional' flags appear when the tool spots something that needs expert review, not just AI analysis

Questions people ask

Can I end a lease early with a break clause?

Only on the terms the clause sets — usually a minimum period and a notice period. Read whether the notice must be given after a date or simply expire after it; that difference decides your earliest exit. Outside those terms you need the landlord's agreement.

Does Document Detective give legal advice?

No. It reads the document against your situation, points out what applies to you and what's easy to miss, and says when a question needs a lawyer, an advice service or the organization that sent it.

What kinds of documents can it read?

Leases, contracts, insurance policies, benefit letters, medical consent forms and other paperwork where the fine print matters. Paste the text or upload a PDF.
