In a single day, at a convention in San Francisco, OpenAI may have laid the groundwork for upending the legal profession. Enter GPTs: the expert generative AI bots of the future.

During DevDay, its inaugural developer conference, OpenAI shared that ChatGPT now boasts 100 million weekly users before unveiling Custom GPTs.

Here’s what you need to know about these new personalized chatbots and how they’re reshaping the landscape of your legal job.

GPTs: A New Era for Legal Tech

According to OpenAI’s announcement, “GPTs are a new way for anyone to create a tailored version of ChatGPT to be more helpful in their daily life.”

We previously covered ChatGPT prompts you need to leverage as a lawyer, but the rollout of GPTs allows users to transcend the standard ChatGPT capabilities.

You can create personalized models—without knowing how to code—tailored to specific aspects of your field. Whether it’s a chatbot aiding in legal research, managing client intake, or addressing nuances in contract law, the potential applications are endless.

  • Personalized Use: Tailor GPTs for your unique legal needs.

  • Sharing and Monetization: Share your GPTs publicly or within your organization, with the potential of monetizing them through OpenAI’s upcoming GPT store.

An Important Note on Privacy and Copyright Infringement

Conversations with GPTs are not shared with the developers of those GPTs. However, the decision regarding whether users’ conversations will be utilized to enhance and train OpenAI’s models lies with the creators of GPT.

OpenAI will also cover some of the legal expenses for users developing GPTs if they face copyright infringement claims for using the company’s artificial intelligence technology.

As always, for practicing attorneys considering the use of GPTs in their practice, it's important to remember your professional responsibilities. This includes maintaining the confidentiality of your clients’ information.

That's all for today! Wishing you the best as you navigate the revolution coming for legal practice,
