Subject: AI Unleashed: 5 Game-Changing Techniques for Contract Negotiations

AI is going to change all of our jobs. E.g., as of January of 2024, just about every software developers is using GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT to write code. (Trust me, it’s awesome).

Contract lawyers don’t yet have a tool close to GitHub Copilot but the AI tools out there can make you faster, better, and happier. Here’s how:

  • AI double-check: While AI can’t reliably mark up an agreement as quickly or as well as you can, it can review your markup to tell you if you missed something.

  • Automated playbooks: Creating playbooks for your team is time-consuming and laborious. AI can review your redline and reverse-engineer a playbook from it.

  • Explaining stuff: When you encounter an unfamiliar concept, AI is great at explaining it in plain language.

  • Generating persuasive comments: AI does a good job coming up with reasons why your counterparty should accept your edit.

  • Surfacing relevant precedent: If you’ve stored your precedent in an AI-indexed database (called a vector database), AI can find relevant agreements and sections in a way that regular search can’t.

Coincidentally, Playbird can do all of the above! It’s free to try and, according to my mother, it’s “pretty neat”.
