Leap of Faith: AI Hopping is Essential for Best Results

There are loads of artificial intelligence tools available to professionals.  Even lawyers, frequently late adopters of technology, are aggressively utilizing AI.  But, different AI models are better at different things – even when they exist on the same platform.  For example, Google Notebook LM can design a robust set of instructions for building graphics; but, Google Gemini can actually execute those most effectively.  In some cases, you may want to use one AI to create a prompt for a different AI.  Some of this also depends on whether you want a single output from a GPT, or whether you’re looking to build an agent. 


 

There’s been lots of virtual ink spilled over the question of which AI to use for which tasks, via Reddit threads & longform articles & YouTube videos & product guides, etc. So, if you’d like to explore the matter further, there’s plenty of reading to be done. 

 

But, the best way to figure out which AI you prefer for which tasks, is try them out for yourself.  There is truly no substitute for experience.  So, A/B test various AI tools with the same project, and see which perform best.  That learning phase of the program is inefficient, for sure.  However, if you can get a handle on which projects to deploy – or, which segments of projects to deploy – in which AIs: you’ll be leveraging artificial intelligence like a pro; and, your ‘AI hopping’ will become more efficient than utilizing singular ill-fitting tools for the wrong projects. 

 

Artificial intelligence is like a glorious all-you-can-eat buffet, that’s never going to be cheaper.  So, why are you filling your plate with tapioca pudding, and pretending to enjoy it?

Perfect Timing: New Calendaring Tools Make It Easy to Connect with Leads and Clients

Image
Lawyers tend to be inefficient, and have difficulty engaging both leads and clients.  These hurdles are apparent when it comes to the scheduling process.  Attorneys and staff onboard leads for meetings, and schedule appointments with existing clients, via strings of emails -- and, delayed response s only extend the conversation, and the time frame.  And, while this is detrimental for client s (who demand speed and convenience), it’s even worse for leads, who may never convert, if they’re not onboarded simply, and easily.   The good news is that modern technology tools allow for scheduling without the intervention of humans, including you and your staff.  That means that you can say goodbye to all those extra emails, and wasted time.  Programs like Calendly and Acuity allow clients to book appointments directly onto a law firm or lawyer’s calendar, and include buffers and controls, so users aren’t overwhelmed.  LawTap offers a similar tool focu...

Get That Bag: How to Build a Collection Process for Your Law Firm

Image
Law firm account s receivable can be gnarly, sometimes extending into the six figures .     Now, there are a couple of responses to that .  The preferred option is to eliminate accounts receivable altogether, which can be done using epayment options, and potentially evergreen retainers combined with stop work order s .   Of course, you may not ever get to 100% collection rates – that’s a tall order – and, you may have some accounts receivable to deal with already .  And so, you’ll need to establish a collection process – and, that should flow from your engagement agreement.     The components relating to money that you need in your engagement agreement, aside from your rate(s) and/or basis of your rates, would be: An escalating series of penalties for non-payment .  An arbitration clause, potentially including access to a state bar’s fee arbitration board .  That stop work order .  This will allow you to put pressure on non-pay...

The Difference: The Demands of Content Marketing Require Creativity

Image
‘ The Simpsons ’ has a long-running ‘ couch gag ’ at the end of its opening credits, in which the Simpsons family attempts to squeeze onto their small couch together .   They never quite get it right – and, hilarity ensues .  But, it’s certainly a difficult thing to pull off = to set up the same joke each week, and to try to create a new and different punchline .  Especially considering that ‘The Simpsons’ have been doing it for 34 seasons of television .  Of course, viewed another way, it’s an interesting challenge, to attempt to conquer.   This is not dissimilar to what lawyers need to do to establish an effective content marketing program .  Lawyers need to present as experts to potential clients and referral sources; and, there are a number of things you can talk about, in terms of your expertise – but, not an infinite number of things.  So, it becomes pretty similar to The Simpsons’ couch gag, in the sense that you have to find new and...
