Public document verification

Anyone can verify a SilverDoc envelope at /verify/{cert} — confirming the document exists, hasn't been tampered with, and seeing the signers (names only). Free, public, no login.

feature

Conversational AI chat

Floating chat assistant on signing pages. Signers ask plain-language questions about the document and get answers grounded in the document text only. Quota-capped per signing session.

feature

In-person signing mode

Generate a 30-minute QR code on your screen — signer scans, signs on their phone, hands back. No email round-trip needed for in-person closings.

feature

Multi-role signing + counter-sign workflows

Signers can be tagged as Signer, Counter-Signer, Witness, Approver, or CC Observer. Senders can be added as a signer themselves with "I need to sign too" — supports counter-sign, sign-first, and approver flows.

feature

Advanced field types

Dropdowns, radio groups, currency, percentage, address, phone, computed (formula), and file upload field types. Conditional logic with show_if / enable_if / require_if. Smart auto-fill from previous signers.
