Built a workflow that reads long contracts and answers questions on WhatsApp

Every procurement or contracting team has the same problem: someone has to sit down and read a 60-page tender or contract just to find one deadline, one clause, one number.

That takes hours. And once it's read, the knowledge just disappears — filed away in a PDF nobody wants to reopen. Ask the same question three weeks later, and someone's re-reading the whole thing again.

I built a workflow that fixes this. Upload the document, and it automatically:

→ Pulls out key details — deadlines, insurance requirements, compliance terms — into a tracker

→ Becomes something you can message on WhatsApp or Telegram

→ Ask it anything — "what's the insurance requirement?" — and it replies with the answer, cited to the exact section

Here's the part that almost didn't work: early on, the system would confidently say "this information isn't in the document" — even when it clearly was. The document was being processed in a way that split important details apart, so the system genuinely couldn't find the full answer.

Fixing that one thing took accuracy from unreliable to 100% correct on every question I tested.

Now it's 30 seconds instead of 3 hours. No app, no dashboard. Just a message.

Happy to walk through how it's built if anyone wants to see it — drop a comment.
