Contract negotiation is a team sport, but most AI tools only help the lawyer. Gerri 2.0 brings the whole team in — and reviews 90% of contracts in under 3 minutes.
PHILADELPHIA, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Common Paper today announced the launch of Gerri 2.0, a major upgrade to its AI contract negotiation agent. The new release features a 10X faster processing engine, support for any contract type (the company's own paper, the other side's paper, or fully custom agreements), a new Personality Settings feature that lets teams set custom instructions guiding Gerri's behavior across all contracts, an optional attorney review add-on with flat-fee pricing and a 4-hour turnaround guarantee, and Template Improvement, which analyzes negotiation history to suggest proactive changes to contract templates.
Contract negotiations slow down because they're a team sport played with single-player tools. Sales needs terms that close deals. Finance needs payment provisions it can live with. Legal needs protections that hold up. Operations and customer success have their own requirements. Most AI contract tools are built to make a single lawyer faster: they don't bring the rest of the team in. The result is a bottleneck: contracts wait on legal, legal waits on everyone else, and deals sit.
Gerri works differently. When a contract arrives, Gerri reads and evaluates every redline against the company's negotiation playbook, then autonomously accepts, counters, or escalates, routing each issue directly to the right person on the team, whether that's the GC, the VP of Sales, or someone in Finance. Team members can approve, push back, or suggest a counteroffer without opening Word. Gerri applies every decision to the .docx directly and logs a full audit trail, citing the specific playbook rule behind each AI decision and recording every human override. The result: 90% of contracts reviewed in 3 minutes or less.
"Most companies treat contract negotiation as a legal problem, but the people who feel the pain are spread across the entire company," said Jake Stein, CEO and Co-founder of Common Paper. "Gerri 2.0 gives every team member the ability to weigh in on the areas they own, at the speed the business actually needs."
The Gerri 2.0 release reflects significant momentum. Common Paper has helped customers negotiate and close hundreds of millions of dollars in deals across a range of industries and contract types. Early customers are seeing results immediately: SurePath AI used Gerri on their first contract and reached agreed redlines with a customer in a single day, making it in time for an investment committee the following morning.
"Gerri paid for itself eight times over on my first contract and shortened our sales cycle by a full month," said Casey Bleeker, CEO and Co-founder of SurePath AI.
Gerri is available at getgerri.ai. The first three contracts are free.
