Client Background

Applied Intuition, a global leader in autonomous vehicle simulation technology, faced growing operational challenges with its high volume of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Managing, extracting, and validating key terms from diverse NDA formats demanded significant manual effort, often leading to inefficiencies and compliance risks.

To resolve these challenges, Applied Intuition partnered with NextGen Coding Company to build a fully automated, AI-powered NDA processing system capable of scaling with organizational growth while ensuring accuracy, speed, and data compliance across global operations.

The Problem

Applied Intuition’s legal and administrative teams were overwhelmed by the time-intensive task of manually reviewing NDAs to extract critical fields such as:

  • Confidentiality and termination dates

  • Agreement types (Mutual, One-Way, Multi-Party)

  • Trade secret clauses and deletion rights

  • Strict marking requirements and NDA purposes

These manual workflows were prone to human error, lacked scalability, and risked non-compliance with regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. Applied Intuition required a secure, automated, and intelligent system to standardize NDA processing, improve data reliability, and reduce the administrative burden on its teams.

Our Solution

NextGen designed and deployed a comprehensive AI-driven automation framework using Nanonets, Python, and AWS-integrated architecture to extract, validate, and export structured NDA data securely.

Custom AI Model Development with Nanonets

  • Trained a custom Nanonets model on 20 NDA samples annotated with key metadata, including confidentiality terms, termination periods, and purpose clauses.

  • Leveraged iterative refinement by manually reviewing model predictions to boost accuracy and adapt to variable document layouts.

  • Configured the model to extract seven key fields:

  • Confidentiality Term Dates

  • Termination Dates

  • NDA Type

  • Deletion Rights

  • Trade Secret Protection

  • Strict Marking Requirements

  • NDA Purpose

  • Normalized extracted data formats (e.g., converting all date fields to DD-MM-YY) and validated Boolean fields for consistency.

Automated Workflow and Data Processing

  • Built an end-to-end data pipeline where NDAs could be uploaded via the Nanonets UI or programmatically through the Nanonets API.

  • Integrated Python-based post-processing scripts to handle exceptions such as missing termination dates or derived confidentiality terms.

  • Created a CSV export layer with field mapping and metadata tracking, ensuring seamless ingestion into Applied Intuition’s internal systems.

Workflow Integration and Scalability

  • Connected automated exports to Applied Intuition’s internal workflow tools through secure API endpoints.

  • Designed the pipeline for horizontal scalability, capable of handling thousands of NDAs without manual intervention.

  • Used AWS S3 for secure file storage and retrieval, ensuring fast access to processed results.

Compliance and Security Framework

  • Implemented AES-256 encryption for all data in transit and at rest.

  • Deployed role-based access control (RBAC) to limit sensitive data visibility to authorized personnel only.

  • Ensured full compliance with GDPR and CCPA, including anonymization protocols and audit-ready data trails.

Iterative Testing and Collaboration

  • Conducted multi-phase validation cycles with Applied Intuition’s legal team to refine extraction rules and improve precision across varied NDA templates.

  • Used insights from Nanonets’ best practices to optimize model confidence thresholds and fine-tune document parsing logic.

  • Implemented a regression testing suite to ensure consistent performance as new document variations were introduced.

Results

The automated NDA processing system transformed Applied Intuition’s document workflows, delivering measurable operational gains:

  • 60% reduction in processing time, enabling near-instant extraction and validation of critical NDA data.

  • 95% accuracy rate achieved through iterative training, reducing legal risk and manual review cycles.

  • Full compliance with GDPR and CCPA, reinforced by encryption and access control safeguards.

  • Seamless workflow integration via API, minimizing disruption to existing legal operations.

  • Scalable infrastructure capable of handling increasing document volumes with zero degradation in performance.

  • Enhanced user satisfaction, with Applied Intuition’s teams praising the system’s reliability, ease of use, and time-saving benefits.

By leveraging AI-driven document processing and automation, NextGen Coding Company delivered a solution that not only improved productivity but also strengthened compliance and data integrity.

Why It Matters

This project demonstrates how AI automation in legal operations can radically enhance accuracy, security, and efficiency. Applied Intuition’s implementation serves as a model for modern enterprises seeking to automate repetitive document workflows while ensuring regulatory compliance and scalability.

NextGen’s approach highlights the power of AI platforms like Nanonets, Python-based automation, and cloud integration in building secure, future-ready business systems.

Frequently asked questions

What did NextGen actually build in this engagement?
NextGen designed and shipped a production system end to end: architecture, data model, application code, integrations, security review, and deployment. A senior U.S.-based team owned delivery from discovery through launch, and the client kept full ownership of the codebase and cloud accounts.
How long does an engagement like this take?
Most engagements of this shape run eight to sixteen weeks from kickoff to production. A discovery and architecture sprint takes two to three weeks, the first working release lands around week six, and the remaining time covers hardening, integrations, and rollout support.
What technologies were used?
This engagement was delivered with Nanonets, Python, Postman, Swagger, AWS, Apache JMeter, Cypress, Selenium, OWASP ZAP. A senior U.S.-based team owned the architecture and the implementation, and the client kept full ownership of the codebase and cloud accounts.
Can NextGen deliver a similar outcome for us?
Yes. We start with a paid discovery sprint that produces an architecture, a scope, and a fixed price or a staffed team plan. From there you can proceed with a fixed-scope build or a dedicated team. Book a call and we will scope your project against this case study.
