What are Projects?

Projects in Codex allow you to group related contracts into a single workspace and work on them collectively.

Instead of reviewing contracts individually, you can bring multiple agreements together and run queries across them with shared context. Codex understands the selected set of contracts and tailors responses accordingly.

Why use Projects?

Contract workflows often involve reviewing multiple agreements with similar requirements. This typically leads to:

  • Repeating the same instructions across contracts

  • Manually switching between documents

  • Inconsistent analysis and outputs

Projects simplify this by enabling you to:

  • Work on a set of related contracts together

  • Apply consistent review instructions

  • Run comparative and bulk analysis

For example, you can review all vendor agreements together and ask Codex to identify risk clauses or missing provisions across them.

What can you do with Projects?

Projects help you move beyond single-contract analysis and enable:

  • Cross-contract comparison (e.g., clauses, terms, risks)

  • Bulk summarisation of multiple agreements

  • Identification of inconsistencies across contracts

  • Detection of missing or non-standard clauses

  • Standardised outputs based on defined instructions

How Projects work

A Project brings together:

  • Selected contracts β†’ the agreements you want to analyse

  • Custom instructions β†’ how responses should be structured

  • Shared AI context β†’ applied across all queries

Once selected:

  • Codex processes queries across all contracts in the project

  • Instructions are automatically applied

  • Outputs remain consistent and comparable

Step-by-Step: Create a Project

1. Go to Codex

2. Click on Create Project

3. A side panel will open. Fill in:

  • Project Name

  • Description

  • Custom Instructions (e.g., focus on risk clauses, keep responses concise)

4. Click Next

5. Select up to 25 contracts

6. Click Create Project

Using a Project

After creating a project:

  1. Select the project in Codex

  2. Start running queries across your contracts

You can:

  • Compare clauses across agreements

  • Identify risks across multiple contracts

  • Generate summaries for a group of documents

  • Analyse consistency in terms and conditions

All outputs will:

  • Follow your defined instructions

  • Consider all selected contracts

  • Maintain consistency across responses

Custom Instructions (Best Practices)

Custom instructions help standardise outputs across contracts.

You can define:

  • Output format (bullet points, structured summary, etc.)

  • Focus areas (risk, compliance, financial terms, clauses)

  • Level of detail

This ensures uniform analysis across all contracts in the project.

AI Capabilities in Projects

Within a project, Codex enables:

  • Comparative analysis across contracts

  • Pattern identification in clauses and terms

  • Detection of deviations from standard language

  • Highlighting of risks and gaps across agreements

This allows you to move from reviewing contracts individually to analysing your contract portfolio as a whole.

Conclusion

Projects in Codex help you streamline contract review by enabling structured, multi-document analysis within a single workspace.

By grouping contracts and applying consistent instructions, you can improve efficiency, ensure standardisation, and gain deeper insights across your agreements.
