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 and re-verified three times a week, and the $29 template that sets up the drafting and summarization workflow includes 30 days of those updates.

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.
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 $29 template is a one-time cost added to year one.

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

- 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.
