AI is changing everyday legal work, including the work of IP support and docketing teams. Building on Ann McCrackin’s highly rated 2025 NDA Conference presentation, this program will show how NotebookLM can help teams work with a defined set of source materials. It will also introduce custom GPTs as a way to create repeatable assistants for recurring IP support tasks. In addition, it will cover important guardrails, including using firm-approved business or enterprise AI tools for client-related work and verifying AI-generated output before relying on it. Attendees will leave with practical examples of how AI can support efficiency, accuracy, and evolving IP operations.
