We just published a deeper article at Proof Engine about one of our legal operations AI pilots.
The biggest takeaway for me: the hard part was not getting AI to produce something that looked useful. The hard part was designing a workflow that a legal team could actually trust.
In legal operations, “almost right” is not good enough. Deadlines, notifications, templates, review ownership, and escalation paths have to be explicit. AI can help a lot, but only if it sits inside a controlled process where humans still own legal judgment and the system is clear about what it can and cannot do.
That is the difference between a demo and an operational implementation.
We wrote the article as a practical teardown of how we approached it: what we automated, what we deliberately kept under review, and what kind of governance layer made the workflow realistic.
