A limited number of places

Simple. Intuitive. Plug and play.

Simply talk to James using natural language. There is no complex setup and no training required. All you need to get started is a username and a password.

The field where you ask James a question, reading

What James solves today

Leave the fine print to James

Renewal dates. Termination windows. Obligations. A pricing clause nobody remembers approving. The information that matters is often buried across contracts, folders and systems.

Upload contracts. James does the admin. You take the credit.

Find the right agreement: Search across your contracts without knowing the exact file name, storage location or person who originally handled it.
Ask in plain language: Ask James the question you actually need answered.

“When does our agreement with this supplier renew?”

“What does the contract say about service levels?”

“What is our termination deadline?”

James brings the answer into the conversation. You make the decisions.

Know before the deadline passes

A supplier announces a price increase. Is it allowed under the contract? And how long do you have to respond?

Ask James. He brings forward the relevant price clause and termination deadline, giving you the information you need to decide what happens next.

No endless searching. No costly assumptions.

The signature is where the work starts

Most contract archives go quiet the moment a document is filed. A renewal passes. A notice period closes. A price adjustment takes effect that nobody negotiated.

James keeps the portfolio moving after signing, not just stored.

Follows the agreements, not just the files: Renewal dates, notice periods and obligations are read out of the contracts themselves and kept in view across the whole portfolio.
Says what needs attention: James brings forward the agreements where a decision is coming up, and the clause that makes it one.
Takes you to the next step: Ask a follow-up question in the same conversation and get the answer with the contract behind it.

What’s next for James?

New capabilities are being added to the same James experience in stages. Pilot customers get them as they arrive, at no extra cost.

Coming next

Vendor management and assessments

Build a clearer vendor overview, collect and structure information, run assessments and identify missing documentation.

Following that

Vendor risk and NIS2

Assess vendor criticality, connect contract and vendor information, identify gaps and support structured supplier risk and NIS2 documentation.

Explore our approach to NIS2

These capabilities are in development and none is generally available. Functionality described here may change before release.

AI built in. Human judgement stays.

James is designed to work with the information and context across your contract portfolio, not just one document in an isolated conversation.

House of Control has worked with contracts, risk and compliance since 2006. That expertise shapes how we develop James and how the platform handles complex business information.

Human expertise, judgement and responsibility remain with you.
