First Drafts™ is a state-of-the-art generative artificial intelligence program that creates a first draft of litigation documents. Generative artificial intelligence uses probabilistic predictions based on patterns in the data and information you provide it to prepare a response. In other words, First Drafts is similar to a calculator, one that converts text into numbers and uses statistics to infer or “estimate” what a first draft of a litigation document would look like based on the information provided. We pride ourselves on bringing you one of the most advanced AI systems to assist in your legal practice.

No. For security reasons, First Drafts™ operates in an isolated environment away from the broader internet. First Drafts™ is unable to access proprietary legal research databases or other publicly-available information. First Drafts™ is instead pre-trained on major state and federal appellate-level case law, some rules of procedure, and a limited number of statutes. However, First Drafts™ is intelligent enough to read research memos and even pleadings you upload, and cite to those cases and legal authority when relevant.

Currently, most other legal drafting AI systems are designed to generate transactional documents (i.e., contracts, leases, etc.) and/or edit transactional documents directly. First Drafts addresses the complex and dynamic needs of litigation attorneys by preparing a first draft of litigation documents based on the facts of the user’s case and examples of the attorney’s prior work product to closely replicate the user’s style of writing. The resulting first draft is a computerized “estimation” of what the user would have drafted had they done so manually, but produced in a matter of seconds rather than hours.

First Drafts™ is a frontier model AI designed and trained to prepare a first draft of litigation documents for review by attorney-users. Other consumer-grade chatbots such as ChatGPT are designed to be “creative” and more variable with their answers to perform a variety of general tasks, such as story writing or making up cooking recipes. They are thus generally not suited for intricate legal tasks that require accuracy and precision. Furthermore, consumer-grade chatbots are often offered at low or no cost, in exchange for the contractual right to train their AI on the user’s inputs and data. For attorneys, most of your data is attorney-client privileged and highly confidential, and use of consumer-grade chatbots may waive privilege or violate an attorney’s duty of confidentiality under the rules of professional conduct. First Drafts™, by contrast, does not train AI models using your data and maintains industry-standard enterprise encryption and privacy practices.

No. AI-generated errors (or "hallucinations") are unfortunately an inevitable part of generative artificial intelligence. While improvements can be made to reduce the likelihood of hallucinations (and such improvements are always being made by our company to keep our AI system on the cutting-edge), hallucinations are always a possibility no matter how advanced the underlying model is. This is why we believe AI will never be able to fully replace lawyers; AI, in its current technological framework, will always be a tool to generate a first draft for lawyers to review, and never a final draft that replaces lawyers altogether.
