Setting up a custom GPT (often referred to as a GPT or AI assistant) can make your generative AI tool far more effective and efficient.
Because you train your custom GPT using your motions, contracts, relevant laws, court rules or whatever you want, the documents you create are tailored to your specific requirements.
For example, I created a Custom GPT to construct an entire estate plan with wills, a trust, powers of attorney, a healthcare directive, and even a document that outlines how the dispositive provisions of the trust flow. On this video I create a custom GPT to help me draft and analyze contracts.
These are just 2 examples of what a custom GPT can do. Some other ways to use CustomGPTs are to:
help analyze case details, identify relevant precedents, and suggest potential arguments or strategies
draft initial responses to common client inquiries, freeing up time for more complex matters
check documents for compliance with specific regulations or legal requirements
assist in organizing and prioritizing tasks, helping manage your workload more effectively
help maintain consistency in language and approach across different documents and cases within a firm
You can update your GPT to stay current, acting similar to a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) database. And unlike a human assistant, your GPT is available 24/7. Just remember to always review and verify any output from AI systems to ensure accuracy and appropriateness.
