Executive Summary

Many developers and SMB founders shipping SaaS face legal friction when adding Terms of Service, privacy policies, and user agreements—this often delays launches or results in boilerplate copy that increases compliance and liability risk. Teams without in-house counsel (common across an estimated 10M developer and SMB apps) either pay expensive lawyers or accept one-size-fits-all templates that don't map to product features like subscriptions, UGC, or marketplaces. Build an AI-powered generator that produces developer-friendly, modular Terms of Service and related documents in seconds, outputting plain-English clauses, code-embeddable snippets (consent flows, API usage limits), and machine-readable metadata for enforcement. Include jurisdictional templates, an edit audit trail, optional on-demand lawyer review, and integrations/SDKs for platforms like Vercel, GitHub, and Stripe so docs slot directly into CI/CD and deployment flows. The market is attractive: an addressable base of ~10M apps at a $100 ACV implies a $1B TAM, and tailwinds—faster developer shipping cycles, higher-quality AI text, and platform distribution—make developer acquisition and scaling feasible. Challenges are real: you must prove legal reliability, keep up with jurisdictional changes, and position the product as compliance-reducing (not a substitute for legal counsel). You can differentiate by prioritizing developer ergonomics (code-first outputs, CI integration, automated enforcement hooks), a clear audit trail for compliance, and an optional vetted-lawyer marketplace to handle high-risk cases; execution and trust signals will determine success in a medium-competition but fragmented field.
