Abstract

A method of summarizing the terms and conditions of a customer agreement using the artificial intelligence of a computer system that receives a plurality of sets of terms and conditions for customer agreements. The artificial intelligence of the computer system also receives customer feedback on the plurality of sets of terms and conditions. The artificial intelligence trains to become a smart summarizer configured to summarize aspects of the plurality of sets of terms and conditions based on the customer feedback. The smart summarizer receives a new set of terms and conditions for a customer agreement. The smart summarizer creates a summary of the new set of terms and conditions. The smart summarizer outputs the summary in a human-readable format. The summary may be sent to a customer who is subject to the terms and conditions.

creating a revision summary which summarizes revisions enacted between the new set of terms and conditions and a previous set of terms and conditions which was revised to create the new set of terms and conditions.

11 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program instructions stored thereon which, when executed, cause a computer system to perform a method of summarizing terms and conditions of a customer agreement, the method comprising:

receiving, by an artificial intelligence of a computer system, a plurality of sets of terms and conditions for customer agreements;

receiving, by the artificial intelligence of the computer system, customer feedback on the plurality of sets of terms and conditions;

training, by the artificial intelligence, to become a smart summarizer configured to summarize aspects of the plurality of sets of terms and conditions based on the customer feedback;

receiving, by the smart summarizer, a new set of terms and conditions for a customer agreement;

creating, by the smart summarizer, a summary of the new set of terms and conditions; and
