AI-generated contracts are starting points, NOT legal advice. Always have a lawyer review before signing. That said, a well-structured draft saves you 80% of legal fees because your lawyer is editing, not writing from scratch.

Act as a business lawyer. Draft an independent contractor agreement in plain English.
Engagement: company [YOUR BUSINESS, LOCATION] · contractor [NAME OR TBD] · project [WHAT THEY WILL DO] · deliverables [SPECIFIC ITEMS] · timeline [START, END, MILESTONES] · payment [AMOUNT/RATE, SCHEDULE, METHOD]
Special terms: IP ownership [WHO OWNS THE WORK] · confidentiality [WHAT THEY WILL ACCESS] · non-compete [ANY RESTRICTIONS] · revisions [HOW MANY INCLUDED] · tools/expenses [WHO PROVIDES/PAYS]
Sections: 1 parties and date · 2 scope of work with deliverables · 3 compensation and invoicing · 4 independent contractor status · 5 IP ownership with pre-existing IP carve-out · 6 confidentiality (2-year term) · 7 revision process · 8 termination and notice · 9 liability limitation · 10 dispute resolution · 11 general provisions · 12 signature blocks
Explain each legal term in parentheses the first time it appears. End with a disclaimer that this is AI-drafted and should be reviewed by a licensed attorney.
Success means every special term I listed appears in the matching section, and a non-lawyer can read any clause and say what it does.
Match the tone I specified above exactly; where I gave none, write plainly and warmly, the way a good operator talks to a customer — no corporate filler, no hedging phrases.
Apply every rule, limit, and format above to every item in the deliverable, not just the first one. Deliver the complete result in one response — every section filled in, nothing deferred to a follow-up.
If a required input is missing, ask for it once before starting; otherwise proceed and label any assumption you made.Notes: R40 refresh; tuned to vendor prompting guidance
