Description

This is a page for our product prototype. Our team aims to build a platform, where you can store your sensitive and important communication - business, healthcare, legal, real-estate. By introducing a legal-grade proof-of-communication we enable deal-making, negotiation and record keeping of serious regulated/compliant communication.

What is legal-grade? Its a combination of Verified ID through a bank + stamps on a public blockchain (proving the immutability of communication - that no one has deleted/changed the messages like it happened on Whatsapp recently) + an extract of your full communication history (for a specific chat) with: parties involved, all messages and their statuses, attached documents, media and timestamps all in one bundle.

Convert Paqt’s web app into mobile, including a chat messenger, document editor, and digital signing

Our project scope entails creating a mobile app for iOS and Android from Paqt’s current web app that features our chat messenger, document editor, negotiation, ChatGPT, and digital signing to support commercial parties negotiating on our web app platform. We have designs for a mobile-adaptive app and plan to rework and build a proper mobile app that can be used from your smartphone. This project involves front-end and back-end development, with a focus on UX/UI design and front-end work. The project would include: - Design and implement the UX/UI elements for our chat messenger, document editor, negotiation tools, and ChatGPT integration starting from our mobile-adaptive product designs - Design and build new in-chat features to assist mobile users to manage tasks and events during a negotiation, such as task cards, event notifications, and calendaring - Modify the web app elements to create an appealing mobile experience - Build and package the mobile app back-end so the app can be downloaded and used on iOS and Android mobile devices - Test the mobile app to confirm its usability on most commonly used smartphones A little more about Paqt: Paqt, the Agreement Platform, is an all-in-one web platform that supports professional and SME dealmakers through the full cycle of a deal - from negotiation, contract creation, and document redlining, to signatures, authentication, and payment. The leading contract B2B SaaS apps are contract-centric and offer features as document tools. The issue: document creation is not agreement creation. To negotiate, SMEs still require ancillary communication between parties before the contract drafting process even begins. The result is that leading apps fail to capture the full agreement cycle, leaving SMEs with the same scattered process they had before. Paqt, by focusing on negotiation and building contracts from messages, not documents, we capture more of the negotiation history on-platform. This allows us to build-in automation and legal know-how throughout the agreement process, improving accountability, reducing legal risk, cutting cost, and speeding up the agreement cycle. With a complete view of the agreement cycle, Paqt can simplify and streamline the agreement process from start to finish all on one platform, and beyond what any B2B SaaS app for contracts can achieve on the market today. Paqt features: - Chat messenger - Document exchange - Verified ID - Digital payments - Chat extraction into a customer file - Blockchain stamps for immutable proof-of-communication - Automation features - And flags, labels, notifications, etc. Paqt is a legal tech B2B SaaS startup based out of Toronto, Canada. We have completed our commercial MVP and had our soft product launch summer 2024. We are a Select Portfolio company with Founder Institute, representing the top 2% of all FI alumni companies. We have 7 members on the team and have worked with many interns and over 30+ university course partnerships to date.

Social Media and Marketing project for a SaaS startup.

Greetings! The project is focused on creating a social media plan/strategy with materials and proper tools to put the digital marketing efforts "on rails". We have lots of developments in this sphere, but not a holistic plan. CEO/Co-Founder of the project has a marketing background and experience participating in a few businesses, as such proper guidance would be provided. A bit more about Paqt: Paqt is an all-in-one web platform that supports dealmakers through the full cycle of a deal - from negotiation, contract creation, and document redlining, to signatures, authentication, and payment. Our app centers on messaging, where chat is the glue for all the steps in the dealmaking process. Our holistic approach allows us to build-in automation and legal know-how throughout, improving accountability, reducing legal risk, cutting cost, and speeding up the agreement cycle. We simplify entering into agreements, which avoids problems and work that the leading contract-centric contract generation or AI tool has to solve with far more complicated (and costly!) software. What exactly do we do? For security, we verify IDs with Trulioo, authenticate your documents via QR code, and create an immutable record of what’s exchanged on a public blockchain. To cut cost, we’ve built-in negotiation tools that save time, user permissions and restrictions that prevent errors, and legal know-how that saves you a call to your lawyer. For faster agreements, we simplify communication with group chat, automate your contract creation using your chat history, and streamline multi-party approvals with workflows. Paqt is ready to use for business people without legal experience. If this sounds like an interesting project for you, let's chat!

Paqt was a great company to work with. We had some slight issues with the onboarding which ended up taking us a bit longer than what I would have hoped. That said, they were responsive and provided a number of materials and support to get us through. The project they sponsored was challenging and definitely pushed the group. Definitely a more advanced level project that we worked on. They were responsive to issues and blocks that came up through the project and were timely with feedback and meetings. Overall very organized and had a great time working with them.

Execution of this project with PAQT was an amazing experience to me and all my team members. Our PAQT supervisor, Mike was of immense assistance to us throughout the project. He was always there to answer our questions, and never missed any of our weekly meetings throughout the project. His in-depth knowledge of software development was top-notch. The real-time coding and code-testing experience I gained from this project is of tremendous help in preparing me for my software development career. All thanks to PAQT for the opportunity.
