The Right Way to Choose Your AI Tools

Not a week goes by without another new AI tool hitting the market, and this flood of product choices can be incredibly overwhelming for any consumer, lawyers included. So, how do attorneys figure out what they need and which tools are trustworthy? Dennis and Tom talk through the many categories of AI tools and explain how learning to use major LLM tools is essential in understanding AI’s uses and capabilities. They discuss ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot to give legal professionals a sense of how to engage effectively with AI tools and then offer their take on how to narrow down the multitude of AI choices for your law firm.  Later, can Tom guess Dennis’s favorite and most-used AI tool of late? Tom recruits ChatGPT to help him guess!  As always, stay tuned for the parting shots, that one tip, website, or observation that you can use the second the podcast ends.
