#8: UpLevel Ops

In the season finale, Anthony Thomas and Zac Henderson are joined by Stephanie Corey of UpLevel Ops to explore practical, high-impact AI use cases for legal operations. Steph explains how AI has fundamentally changed how her team works, helping them stay organized, capture institutional knowledge, and support more client work without adding headcount.The conversation stays grounded in operational reality: start small, solve annoying repetitive problems first, and use AI to clear space for more strategic work. Rather than replacing legal judgment, Steph shows how bots, note takers, and structured workflows can reduce administrative burden and make legal teams faster, smarter, and more responsive.Key TakeawaysAI helped UpLevel Ops scale work without adding headcountNote takers and bots improve knowledge capture and retrievalStart with small, high-friction tasksBots can automate intake and reduce routine legal workPilot programs with clear metrics drive adoptionCustom writing assistants are a strong starting pointSteph also shared three custom GPTs: UpLevel Your Gift Giving Assistant for personalized gift ideas, Wanderlust Travel Guide for itinerary planning, and Master Chef for turning fridge or pantry ingredients into recipes.UpLevel Your Gift Giving Assistant: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-673a67deb2d88191a40a3ef4b9e2256f-uplevel-your-gift-giving-assistantWanderlust Travel Guide: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-eDSeep6qT-wanderlust-travel-guideMaster Chef: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-oVwrdPo0I-master-chefAbout the PodcastThe A to Z of AI is hosted by Anthony Thomas and Zac Henderson and powered by The Suite.
