AI Legal Platform Clearnote Opens for Public Access
The public launch follows a successful period in beta
AI-powered legal platform Clearnote has publicly launched its contract platform after months of development alongside legal teams and a successful private beta.
Backstory:
Founded by the team at Los Angeles-based independent label Good Boy Records (GBR), the platform was originally developed to address what the company calls “widespread contracting gaps in the music industry.”
Its development at GBR was a practical response to the problem of independent artists, managers and small teams negotiating complex deal volume without affordable or efficient legal tooling.
What it does:
The platform combines AI-driven guidance with secure contract execution.
It enables users to draft, templatize, revise, compare, and manage agreements end-to-end.
It contains features such as conditional clause toggling, collaborative editing, version control, and integrated e-signature workflows.
Why it matters:
As per the media statement, Clearnote claims to differentiate itself from other AI legal platforms because it was “built first for accessibility and day-to-day usability, designed for managers, attorneys, talent teams, small firms, and creators who have historically been priced out of higher-tier systems.”
Since beta, Clearnote has extended beyond the music industry to be adopted by a mix of entertainment professionals, creator teams, managers and small firms “managing high-volume contracts without enterprise legal infrastructure.”
What they said:
John Zamora, Co-Founder & COO of Good Boy Records: “Our target audience today is really anyone in entertainment that needs legal work done. We’re for attorneys, we’re for creators, and we’re for companies. There are so many independent contractors who need accessible, easy-to-use tools to get the job done efficiently and affordably. With the official launch of Clearnote, our focus is to provide core legal infrastructure for how creative industries operate today.”
