Inspiration

The inspiration for DocaPrise came from the growing need for businesses to streamline their contract creation and signing processes. Traditional methods are often repetitive, time-consuming, and prone to errors. With the power of AI and tools like DocuSign, we realized we could create a solution that automates these workflows while ensuring accuracy and efficiency.

What it does

DocaPrise simplifies contract generation, editing, and signing for enterprises. It allows users to:

Create contracts using pre-designed templates enhanced by LLM for accuracy and customization.
Save and reuse previously created contracts to avoid repetitive data entry.
Provide multiple signing options, including embedded signing, remote signing via email, and responsive signing.
Maintain a database of up-to-date, reusable contract documents.

How we built it

We built DocaPrise with a Node.js backend to handle JWT authentication, DocuSign API integrations (for signing functionalities), and LLM-powered contract generation. The frontend is designed with Next.js to ensure a seamless, responsive user experience. Using TypeScript, we maintained a strongly-typed codebase for better reliability and scalability.

Challenges we ran into

Setting up DocuSign authentication workflows, including JWT-based backend authentication, was more complex than anticipated.
Integrating TypeScript with Next.js on the backend presented a learning curve as we worked to manage type-safety and API integration simultaneously.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Successfully leveraging LLMs to generate repeatable, accurate, and customizable contracts.
Designing a highly responsive frontend that enhances user experience.
Implementing a robust backend that supports various signing workflows like embedded, remote, and responsive signing.

What we learned

The intricacies of DocuSign API integration and how to use its various endpoints effectively.
Best practices for using TypeScript in a full-stack application.
The potential of LLMs in automating workflows and improving business processes.

What's next for DocaPrise

Enhancing the LLM integration to provide more advanced editing capabilities, such as suggesting legal clauses or adapting templates based on industry-specific requirements.
Building additional features like analytics to track contract performance (e.g., time to sign, common bottlenecks).
Expanding support for multi-language contracts to cater to a global audience.
Exploring integrations with other popular tools like Slack or CRM systems to create a more cohesive ecosystem.
