Deep dives
Introduction of Spellbook Associate
Spellbook Associate is introduced as the first AI agent designed specifically for the legal field, capable of managing complex multi-step workflows similar to a junior associate. This AI agent not only plans and executes tasks but also checks its own work and adjusts its plans as necessary, providing a level of autonomy previously unseen in legal tech. The tool allows users to delegate real projects, which consist of multiple documents, to the AI, which can break down the work and deliver a comprehensive set of outputs along with a detailed paper trail. This functionality is hoped to facilitate more efficient legal practice by reducing the drudgery associated with document management.
