Claudette is an academic-origin AI tool for detecting unfair clauses in consumer contracts, developed at the European University Institute (EUI). The project pioneered machine learning approaches to consumer contract review under EU Directive 93/13/EEC and remains freely accessible for research and public-interest use.
Core capabilities: classification of contract clauses as potentially unfair, clearly unfair, or fair under EU consumer law standards; coverage of common consumer agreement types (terms of service, privacy policies, subscription contracts); explanations grounded in EU case law and academic interpretation; and downloadable annotated outputs for educational use.
Best fit: consumer protection lawyers, EU regulators, academic researchers, and legal-aid organizations reviewing standard-form consumer contracts. Also useful as a teaching tool in EU consumer law courses.
Pricing is free — Claudette is a non-commercial research output. The interface is functional but not polished for daily firm workflows.
Claudette is narrower than commercial contract review tools but unmatched for its specific niche: EU consumer law unfairness detection backed by published academic research. For commercial B2B contracts, use Robin AI or Spellbook instead.
Hands-on review pending. Scores reflect industry consensus.
