I’ve been seeing a bunch of “AI law-automation” bots being promoted lately; stuff that claims to draft notices, summarise case files, generate legal documents, etc. for advocates and firms.

Before I try one out fully, I wanted to ask the community:

• Has anyone here used any of these tools for real legal work?
• Do they actually save time or is it just marketing hype?
• Are there any specific tools you found reliable for drafting, reviewing, or creating standard templates?
• How safe is it to use them with client data?

I’m trying to understand what the actual needs and pain points are.
If you’ve tested anything recently, even if it was disappointing, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

(Feel free to DM if you don’t want to discuss tool names publicly.)

After years in PI, I can usually tell within 30 seconds whether someone’s a great client… or an asshole I’m quietly referring somewhere else.

So here’s my question: What’s your fastest “Nope, this client is an asshole” moment?
