OpenAI Path

Use this path when your legal workflow belongs in ChatGPT, OpenAI-powered tools, or Codex. The common rule is the same: define the task, constrain the source material, preserve confidentiality, and require a human review gate.

Choose The Right OpenAI Surface

  • ChatGPT or OpenAI models: drafting, summarizing, issue spotting, comparison tables, and structured review over approved materials.
  • Custom GPTs or internal assistants: repeatable legal team workflows where instructions and source boundaries are stable.
  • OpenAI API workflows: controlled integrations, document pipelines, and legal operations tools.
  • Codex: codebase work, document automation, legal-tech features, tests, and repository maintenance.
