When you work for yourself, you are also your own legal department. The client contracts, the SOWs, the NDA you signed to get the meeting, the studio lease, the vendor terms you clicked through: you signed all of it, and nobody else is keeping track of what it says.
Querent is a private library for the paperwork your business runs on. Upload it once, then ask the questions you actually have, the way you'd actually ask them:
Every answer comes with numbered citations. Click one and you're looking at the exact clause it came from. When a client says "that wasn't in scope," the conversation goes very differently when you can answer with "section 3 says two revision rounds, and this is round four." Querent only answers from YOUR documents and shows its work, so you can check everything against the signed page in one click.
And to be clear about what this is: Querent tells you what your contracts say, not what to do about them. For anything consequential, the person to call is still your lawyer or your accountant. You'll just make that call already knowing what page the answer is on, which tends to make it a shorter, cheaper call.
Select up to 25 documents and ask for one cited report across all of them: "list every renewal date, notice window, and payment obligation across these contracts" comes back as a table, every line pointing at the clause it came from. Deadlines you'd otherwise keep in your head, or in a spreadsheet you last updated in March, in one pass.
Compare mode does the two-document version: put last year's contract next to the renewal they just sent and ask what changed. The quietly raised fee cap and the new non-compete language stop being things you find out about later.
Contracts arrive as PDFs, email attachments, scans, and things in drawers. All of it works.
Drag in your whole contracts folder and the structure comes with it, or pick files straight from Google Drive. PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, scans.
The signed original in the filing cabinet becomes searchable from a phone picture.
Every account gets a private Querent address; forward the countersigned copy the moment it lands in your inbox and it files itself.
The browser extension saves the readable part of any page, like the platform terms you agreed to, straight to your library.
One click suggests a folder structure for a pile of unfiled documents. Nothing moves until you approve, and one click undoes it.
Audio and video files ride along as name-only references, so the client's voice-memo brief sits next to its contract without Querent storing a second of it.
A solo operator's library holds other people's secrets: client terms, rates, unreleased work. That's exactly why Querent treats privacy as the product. Everything is encrypted in transit and at rest, isolated to your account, and never used to train AI models, ours or anyone else's. We publish exactly which services process your data and what each receives, in plain English, at querentapp.com/subprocessors. Delete a document and its stored text is gone; answers you already received stay in your conversation history until you delete that conversation. Delete your account and everything goes with it.
One honest habit worth keeping: leave out full bank account numbers and anything you're contractually barred from storing with third parties. A contract answers questions just as well with those redacted, and some NDAs are picky about where their text can live; yours is the judgment call on which documents belong here.
$10 a month, one plan, everything included. One auto-renewal you meant to cancel, one unbilled deliverable, or one "that wasn't in the SOW" argument you lose for lack of the page number costs more than a year of Querent. It's a business expense, and a small one.
The 7-day free trial is the real product, and during the trial the upload limit is tripled so moving your whole contracts folder in is painless. Cancel from your profile page in two clicks, no retention dance.
Start your free trialTakes about a minute. Drag one contract in and ask it something you've been meaning to check.
Querent answers only from documents you’ve uploaded, cites the exact stored passage for every claim, and treats privacy as the product: encrypted at rest, never used for training. It’s a permanent, organized library for your business paperwork, not a per-conversation upload.
No. Querent tells you what your documents say and shows you where; what to do about it is between you and your lawyer. Think of it as walking into that conversation with the right page already open.
Yes, photograph them. JPG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, and scanned PDFs all work; Querent reads the text out of images, so the countersigned original in the drawer becomes searchable.
Querent is a single account today. Plenty of solo operators export the cited report and send that instead; separate accounts for separate people is the honest current answer, and shared workspaces are something we’ll build if enough people ask.
Every claim is cited, so you check the clause rather than trusting the summary. Answers come from your documents only; if it’s not in your paperwork, Querent says so instead of inventing something. For anything that matters, the signed document is the authority and the citation takes you straight to it.
