Convosign

The Spark Behind ConvoSign

Have you ever felt anxious while signing a document, unsure of what you're committing to? We've been there, and we knew there had to be a better way. That's why we created ConvoSign—to give everyone the peace of mind they deserve. Whether you have OCD, dyslexia, or just want an easier way to understand what you're signing, ConvoSign is for you. Now, you can sign any document with complete peace of mind, knowing you're making the right decision. That's the power of ConvoSign.

What it does

ConvoSign collaborates with the Dropbox Sign API to offer a frictionless document-signing experience. With ConvoSign, you can literally 'talk' to your document and get all your questions clarified before making a commitment. Not only does this give you peace of mind, but it also allows other signers to gauge how well you've understood the document, based on the source text nodes covered in the chat. It's a win-win for everyone involved, making the past signing process as transparent and informed as possible. With ConvoSign, you don't need to be a legal expert to understand what you're signing. Our platform generates relevant questions for you, so you don't even have to know what to ask. Plus, every answer from our chatbot comes with a source and a confidence score, giving you extra peace of mind. And if you prefer speaking over typing, our speech-to-text enabled chat has you covered. ConvoSign makes document signing simple, informed, and accessible for everyone.

Challenges Faced in Developing ConvoSign

Dropbox API Learning Curve

Challenge Understanding and integrating the Dropbox Sign API was a steep learning curve. Impact: This added complexity and time to the development process.

Innovative Chat Interface

Challenge Creating a clean chat interface that could display both responses and source information with a simple toggle was a design hurdle. Impact: Balancing user experience with functionality required multiple iterations

Late Realization of Existing Features

Challenge _Initially, the idea was to query only from documents. We discovered late in the process that Dropbox's AI already provided this feature Impact: This required a quick pivot to add value through additional innovation, such as suggesting questions and enabling auto-exploration of documents with simple clicks.
