Contract triage on Mac with Agent Mode
Contract triage should not require a weekend. You want to answer clear questions, then jump straight to the clause. The old way is sorting folders, renaming files, scanning hundreds of pages, and opening documents one by one. With Fenn, you install the app, index your contracts, enable Agent Mode, and ask in plain English. Fenn searches your files and opens the exact page that matters. Everything stays on your Mac.

What Agent Mode does for contract teams
Fenn is an AI powered file search engine for macOS. It understands native PDFs. Triage becomes a single question that returns deep links, so you click once and land on the clause.
Examples you can try:
List NDAs with termination within 30 days.
Show MSAs where governing law is California.
Find agreements that auto renew after the initial term.
Gather contracts that cap liability to fees paid in the last 12 months.
The pain is worst with long PDFs. It becomes even harder when matters span Word documents, scanned amendments in PDF, images of signed pages, or meeting recordings that contain decisions. Fenn covers these too, and still opens at the exact place, but you can start with PDFs today and get immediate wins.
Manual search when you want full control
Agent Mode does the triage for you. If you prefer hands on searching, Fenn gives you four precise modes.
Semantic mode. Ask naturally, find paraphrases and related wording.
Keyword mode. Match exact words and phrases when language must be literal.
Hybrid mode. Combine semantic and keyword for recall and precision.
Exact mode. Force strict literal matches across sources.
Switch modes with one shortcut. Then open the clause directly.
