Put AI to work—one measurable workflow at a time.

All AI employee roles

An AI paralegal assistant that speeds up drafting and review — under a lawyer's supervision

A great deal of legal support work is document-heavy and repetitive: summarizing files, drafting standard documents from templates, organizing discovery, and first-pass review. This stack accelerates that mechanical layer so a small firm gets leverage without adding headcount. The boundary here is not optional and it is not marketing: this is a productivity tool, not legal advice, and it must operate under a qualified lawyer's supervision. AI can misstate law and 'hallucinate' citations, so every output requires professional verification before it's relied on or filed. We state that plainly below and build the workflow around human review. The prices for every tool are live with dated evidence, and the $99 one-time setup unlocks the plan that sets up the drafting and summarization workflow; an optional $29/month subscription keeps it current.

AI stack vs hiring — what you'd keep

Compare the yearly cost of a hire against the AI tool stack that does the repetitive work.

Hiring: Paralegal assistant$79,261 / year
AI stack (Law Firm)$927+ / year

This stack includes usage-based pricing, so the exact monthly cost depends on volume — see the live prices below.

This compares cost only, and deliberately understates hiring (it excludes recruiting, onboarding, equipment, software, and management overhead). An AI stack does specific tasks with your oversight — it doesn't replace judgment, relationships, or accountability. The plan is a one-time cost added to year one.

What an AI paralegal assistant can't do

The honest limits. This is a tool with your oversight, not a person.

  • Give legal advice or make legal judgments — a lawyer must.
  • Be trusted on citations or law without verification; it can fabricate.
  • File documents or represent anyone.
  • Operate without qualified supervision.
  • Replace a paralegal's accountability and professional judgment.

Questions about an AI paralegal assistant

Is it safe to use AI in a law firm?

Only with human verification. Courts have sanctioned lawyers for filing AI-fabricated citations. The template is built around lawyer review of every output — that's the whole design.

What does it actually speed up?

The document-heavy grind: summarizing, first drafts, discovery organization. A qualified professional checks everything before it's relied on.

Does it keep client data confidential?

You choose tools with appropriate data policies, and the template flags confidentiality considerations and local-only options where sensitive.

And what does Dapols cost?

The tool prices on this page are paid to those vendors, monthly, for as long as you use them. This is the separate — and much smaller — cost of the plan that works out which of them you actually need and wires them together.

$99

once, to unlock your plan

The tools, the prompts, the connectors and the order to set them up in, customized to your answers and reviewed by a person before it reaches you. It does not renew, and we keep no card for a later charge.
$29

a month, optional and later

Only if you want the plan kept current as these prices move. We ask about a month in — you start it, we never start it for you, and stopping it leaves the plan you bought exactly as it is.
