/ / How an AI assistant can help you save hours in your work day

Being a corporate lawyer in this day and age, is something very different from the life of Harvey Spector or Alan Shore. But, this era fueled by the pandemic, has created a space for innovation. While we all miss our offices, teams, and the watercooler talk, things like virtual ‘rooms’, Zoom meetings, Slack and Whatsapp have taken over our work life. As this ‘takeover’ happened, we lost track of time. The lines between home and work are now blurred. We no longer have the luxury of just going to a co-worker to “take a look” at the document or “ask for suggestions” or comments, or call out someone to do “research work” or cross-check “references and definitions” in contracts.

However, we have a fix.

Legal tech innovations have now transformed creating virtual AI assistants who can assist you with mundane activities that take up nearly 40% of your workday forcing you to work extra hours. So despite being home surrounded by family, you are the tired and grumpy of drowning in mundane work which is slowly taking away every ounce of energy left in you. It’s in situations like these where work-life balance feels like a myth or an urban legend. So let AI-powered assistants perform these time-consuming mundane tasks for you, while you focus on billable mandates like client meetings, drafting, negotiating, strategizing, and structuring transactions, or just spend that additional time with your family and loved ones.
