Never Redlining a Doc Again

in private equity, we waste hours editing NDAs manually. it’s mostly boilerplate: kill the residuals clause, fix governing law, shorten the term, add the return clause.
i got tired of opening Word every time, so i built something that takes a .docx and returns a redlined version — fully marked up, like a lawyer did it. just a local script + llm + a playbook of what we always fix.
surprised it didn’t exist in this form already. works well enough that i haven’t redlined manually in weeks.
sharing here in case others are doing the same thing (or have done it better). curious how people are automating doc work internally.

Anyways, what's the solution like? Just AI doing it?
