Formify Manifesto:
Formalizing the Intelligent Era

1. The Vision: A New Interface for Human Efficiency

We are entering a shift where we move from searching for information to consuming it through synthesized answers. AI is no longer a tool on the side, it is becoming the new interface for understanding complex data and legal documents.

In an era shaped by answer engines, the winners will be the ones who can turn complexity into clarity without losing integrity, and without creating a new public LLM risk.

Formify exists to ensure this transformation happens with trust, contract security, and verified interaction. We design for a world where AI acts as an intelligent bridge between parties, where every interaction is verified, structured, and legally binding, and where a secure signing link becomes the standard way to share and sign what matters.

2. The Human Perspective: Efficiency Before Malice

We accept a fundamental truth, people are trying to do a good job as efficiently as possible. When employees use AI to summarize a contract or translate a clause, it is rarely bad intent, it is speed, clarity, and progress.

Yet this reality collides with uncontrolled AI tools, low AI usage visibility, and an AI governance gap. When 66 percent of the global workforce uses AI tools regularly, and 61 percent lack formal training in how these tools handle data, the result is a policy gap.

This is how Shadow AI becomes normal inside organizations. Our role is not to block human drive, it is to provide a safe environment where that drive can work without creating contract summarization risk, contract translation risk, or accidental exposure.

3. “Counterparty AI Risk”: The Invisible Dialogue

Traditional e signing focused on protecting a document until it reached the recipient. In the intelligent era, a new risk category becomes unavoidable, Counterparty AI Risk.

It starts when sensitive information leaves your organization and meets the recipient’s need for fast understanding. If a recipient, in good faith, copies and pastes contract text into a public AI, this becomes copy paste leakage and contract data leakage.

It can trigger trade secret leakage, NDA leakage risk, intellectual property exposure, and even personally identifiable information (PII) exposure. This is the leakage loop, your perimeter security limitations do not matter once the file is outside your control.

Formify addresses this by offering a secure, isolated place for that dialogue, so understanding can happen without the data leaving the secure flow, and without forcing counterparties into risky workarounds.

4. Our Mission: Giving Structure to the Intelligent Flow

To “Formify” is to give legal weight and technical structure to digital dialogue. For the most critical business, a static PDF is no longer enough.

We build tenant isolated services, a document container where the controlled AI chat model lives inside the signing flow. The recipient can ask questions, translate, and analyze directly in a sandboxed AI environment, inside a controlled review environment, with secure contract Q and A, secure contract translation, and secure contract summarization.

We also provide a no training guarantee, ensuring data is never used to train external models. This is Privacy by Design in practice, and it removes the need for Shadow AI by making the safe path the easiest path, including secure document sharing and secure document review in one contained experience.

For organizations that require stronger jurisdictional control, we can support data residency vs data sovereignty requirements, including EU data sovereignty, sovereign cloud expectations, and reduced CLOUD Act risk through architecture choices.

5. Formify as the New Standard: Turning Legal Text Into Clear, Human Language

Formify is the bridge between today’s need for control and tomorrow’s way of working. We close the policy gap with architecture, not just rules, by offering AI assisted signing through a secure signing link, where a private AI assistant in signing helps the counterparty understand before they commit.

With our tagline, Turning legal text into clear, human language, we make contract review automation feel natural, not technical, through a contract explanation assistant that reduces confusion, language barriers, and legal uncertainty.

At the same time, we protect organizations from third party AI risk by keeping the conversation inside the document container, so collaboration is possible without turning review into data leakage.

This is secure collaboration on contracts, built for how people will actually work with AI, a future where legal precision meets human clarity, and where the safe workflow becomes the default.
