Via AI

Overview

Zenskar allows you to automatically create contracts by uploading contract documents in PDF format. Our AI-powered contract ingestion extracts key billing and pricing terms directly from the document and uses them to generate a draft contract in the Zenskar system.

When to use this method

Use this method when you already have a signed or finalized contract document and want to reduce manual data entry. Zenskar’s AI saves time by parsing the document and populating fields such as:

• Customer details
• Billing cadence
• Payment terms
• Contract start and end dates
• Auto-renewal conditions
• Fees and usage terms

Steps to upload a contract document for AI processing

1. Navigate to Contracts → AI Contracts in the Zenskar dashboard.
2. Click the UPLOAD PDF CONTRACTS button.
3. Upload the PDF version of your contract.

🚧

Note

The extraction model works best on clear, structured PDFs (not scans or images).

4. Once the PDF is uploaded, Zenskar AI will use the default prompt to extract details from the contract document:

   Zenskar Default Saved Prompt	Extract relevant billing information and products from contract details.

   You can optionally click CHANGE PROMPT to select a different extraction prompt, especially if your contract uses a non-standard format. This gives you more control over how key terms are extracted and ensures better alignment with your contract structure.

5. 🔍 Review the extracted contract details and make edits as needed. You can edit any field as needed before saving the contract.

🚧

Note

While Zenskar AI reduces manual work, it is important to review the draft contract.

6. Click the + Create New Contract button.

How Zenskar AI processes a contract document

When you upload a contract document (typically a PDF), Zenskar AI performs a series of steps to convert the unstructured agreement into a structured, editable contract

Create a custom prompt

If you're not satisfied with the generated contract, you can guide the AI by writing your own prompt. This gives you more control over how contract terms are extracted and mapped.

To create a custom prompt:

1. After uploading the contract PDF, click CHANGE PROMPT.

2. In the dialog that opens, select Write a custom prompt.

3. Enter a name for your prompt in the Prompt name field.

4. In the Write your custom prompt here... field, type your instructions. The following examples should help you get started.

   Custom prompt	What it does
   Use API Calls as the usage metric	Maps usage-based products to API Calls as the billing metric.
   When extracting product names from the contract, match them only against the following predefined list of three valid product names: "Digital Services", "Digital - Services", "Services - Digital" Ignore variations or permutations such as hyphenation or word order differences. If a match is found within the list, normalize the name to "Digital Services". Do not create a new product if the extracted name doesn’t match one from the list.	This prompt ensures that product names extracted by AI are matched only against a predefined list of three valid products, ignoring naming variations, to prevent creation of duplicates.

5. Click SAVE PROMPT.

💡 You can reuse saved prompts later by choosing Saved Prompts instead of writing a new one. Custom prompts are especially useful for handling unique contract formats or business-specific terminology.

Edit the draft contract

After uploading a contract document, Zenskar AI generates a draft contract pre-filled with all detected details — including customer information, contract period, products, pricing, and features. You can review and modify this draft before finalizing the contract by clicking the + Create New Contract button.

Once you're done editing, proceed to save and publish the contract by clicking the + Create New Contract.
