Use ChatGPT to triage contracts against your playbook

Legal teams used custom GPTs to sort and review routine contracts, while keeping a human in the loop for judgment calls.

What they did
An in-house lawyer with ChatGPT Enterprise made a custom GPT that mimicked an in-house lawyer in their jurisdiction. They used it for basic drafting, flagging missing language, and working through uploaded files. Another lawyer in the comments used ChatGPT with a contract playbook to speed up first-pass review of large volumes of third-party agreements, while people still handled the final call.
How it went
Commenters said it helped with standard agreements, quick summaries, searching long documents, and early-stage contract review. They also said legal research was not dependable, with one commenter estimating that roughly half of the output was wrong or made up.
Tips
Keep the model inside your own guidelines or source documents, and treat anything beyond that as untrusted. Build in a human check before any final legal decision or advice.

Try it yourself with ChatGPT

You are my first-pass contract reviewer for [document type]. Use only the playbook and source materials I provide below. For each issue, quote the relevant text, explain how it compares with the playbook, suggest a revision, and mark whether it needs human review. Classify the document as low, medium, or high risk. If you need to send, file, approve, delete, or finalize anything, stop and ask for my approval first. Playbook: [paste playbook]. Document: [paste document text].

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
