Course Overview

The Custom GPT Is the New Associate Workflow

2026-07-22 14:00:00

Generative AI has moved past the demo stage and into the daily mechanics of legal work, yet most attorneys still treat large language models as search boxes rather than systems they can build and control. The gap between knowing AI exists and deploying it across a matter is where firms now lose hours and clients.

This program closes that gap—starting with transformer architecture and prompt engineering, then moving directly into building custom GPTs in OpenAI and agent-based automations in Microsoft Copilot that handle repetitive work across transactional matters, litigation management, and legal operations. Attendees learn to use OpenAI projects and Copilot’s integrations to structure, refine, and scale these tools across a legal team rather than relying on one-off prompts.

By the end, attorneys can design and deploy their own AI workflows—configuring custom GPTs, building Copilot agents, and organizing AI-driven efficiencies across the legal function—instead of waiting for a vendor to package it for them.
