Triage and review legal documents with custom GPTs
Commenters use custom GPTs to automate initial triage and review in in-house legal work, keeping human audit in place. · Sep 9, 2024
- What They Did
- An in-house lawyer with ChatGPT Enterprise said they built a custom GPT to act like an in-house lawyer in their jurisdiction and found it useful for simple drafting, spotting missing terms, and handling uploaded documents safely. In the comments, another lawyer said they use ChatGPT against a contract playbook to automate much of the initial triage and review of high-volume third-party contracts, with humans still using judgment rather than trusting it for research.
- How It Went
- The thread reports useful help on standardized agreements, summaries, long-document search, and first-pass contract review, but multiple commenters said legal research was unreliable, with one estimating about 50% wrong or hallucinated output. No firm productivity numbers were given.
- Worth Knowing
- The main catch was accuracy: commenters stressed it works best when constrained by existing guidelines or uploaded materials and still needs human review.
Try it yourself with ChatGPT
Act as a first-pass reviewer for [type of legal document, e.g. NDAs] using this playbook: [paste my standard positions and red flags]. For the document I paste below, sort it into low, medium, or high risk, list each clause that deviates from the playbook with a quote and a suggested edit, and list questions for a human lawyer. Make clear which items need human sign-off. Document: [paste text].
Do this with a skill.
These AI Services Market playbooks do this exact job.
