Inspiration

As people don't read terms of services, we wanted a quick solution to inform ourselves on what we're agreeing to when we agree to a company's TOS.

What it does

TransparentTerms parses through legal documents in PDF form or company's websites to get the important details of their terms of services. It offers these insights in multiple different languages that the user can choose from and also provides key Pros and Cons of the terms of service. They can also continue to prompt the AI for more explanations.

How we built it

We build TransparentTerms using WXT, React, TypeScript, Vite, Shadcn UI, Tailwind CSS, and the Gemini API.

Challenges we ran into

Getting the content from each PDF was difficult as we had to parse through each page.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We managed to get a working prototype in only 5 hours.

What we learned

We learnt how to manage our time well in the hacking time of only 5 hours.

What's next for TransparentTerms

More features like:

  • any languages
  • custom levels of complexity in responses (someone who has the reading level of a 6th grader vs someone who's a lawyer and just wants a quick summary)
