What the AI did

The managing partner talks through legal drafting on walks using a chatbot's voice mode, then edits the first draft at his desk.

The result

Three to four minutes of dictation on a walk gives him a first draft by the time he's back.

On walks, Shapiro said, he will "free associate into the microphone for three to four minutes," and by the time he gets back to his desk, he'll have a first draft.

Check before trusting

Treat it as a rough first draft. A lawyer must check every clause, and client confidential details should only go into a tool your firm has approved. The source counts three lawyers and doesn't mention other staff.

Prompt to try it

Test the job on your own material before buying anything. Replace the highlighted brackets.

I'm going to talk through the deal terms for [DEAL_TYPE] between [PARTY_A] and [PARTY_B]. Turn my notes into a first draft of [DOCUMENT_TYPE] using our standard structure [TEMPLATE_HEADINGS]. List every point where you made an assumption.
