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.
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
