LawToolBox, the first legal app certified to work with Microsoft 365 Copilot, has officially announced the launch of a Microsoft Copilot community prompt library, which is designed to enhance Copilot for the legal industry.
According to certain reports, the stated prompt library will allow designated prompt experts to customize community prompts for the purpose of accommodating their organization’s needs, practice areas, and expertise. More on the same would reveal how contributors to the LawToolBox prompt community library may submit prompts that LawToolBox attributes to them, eventually identifying thought leaders across the industry.
Anyway, once the LawToolBox prompt library has been customized, each legal professional in a firm can save their favorite community prompts to their Microsoft Copilot prompt gallery.
To understand the significance of such a development, we must take into account a fact that, without LawToolBox, Copilot doesn’t have enough client-matter context to limit questions about your legal work to the legal data in your client matters. Hence, an attorney asking Copilot for “upcoming deadlines” may get some legal deadlines mixed in with reminders about upcoming birthdays or dentist appointments.
In contrast, LawToolBox ensures that answers are relevant and help users get started working quickly. This translates to how, when attorneys ask Copilot, with the LawToolBox agent in the mix, for upcoming deadlines, the response will be related to their legal client data only, empowering them to get a clean and contextually relevant list of their actual work deadlines.
Talk about LawToolBox on a slightly deeper level, we begin from its seamless integrations with leading billing systems, and DMS solutions like iManage and NetDocuments, that allow LawToolBox to automate the creation of copilot containers for client matter data in M365 from “system of record”.
Next up, we must dig into how legal organizations, who have custom accounting solutions or case management systems that expose a database, can effectively bank upon Microsoft Azure Logic Apps to easily create LawToolBox client matters using the robust LawToolBox API. Not just that, integration partners like Centerbase, Coyote, Soluno, and SurePoint LMS (with more coming soon) can also serve as the “system record” for LawToolBox client matters.
Now, we referred to how LawToolBox builds client matter containers directly in Microsoft, but what we haven’t yet touched upon is that this particular ability makes it is the only product, throughout the industry, which is capable of organizing and aggregating your legal calendar, files, and data in the Microsoft platform.
Such a setup, on its part, enables your LawToolBox client matters to inherit Purview sensitivity labels, while simultaneously retaining relevance across answers provided by the Copilot.
Another detail worth a mention is rooted in how, thanks to an enhanced Copilot Agent, LawToolBox can very well act as a gateway agent for legal practices that seek to safely enhance their practice using secure AI from Microsoft 365 Copilot.
“As part of our mission to integrate seamlessly with the Microsoft ecosystem, we are enhancing LawToolBox Copilot,” said Carol-Lynn Grow, co-founder and COO at LawToolBox. “In this new framework, legal professionals can anchor their Microsoft Copilot with legal client matter containers in Microsoft 365 provisioned through LawToolBox.”
As for how LawToolBox will bring value across specific situations, it can help managed service providers and resellers in selling to corporate legal departments which are the gateway to the rest of the organization, whereas internal Microsoft sales can retire some of their sales quota.
On the other hand, legal professionals can also come expecting to access a streamlined, efficient way of using Copilot AI to safely manage their work, reduce risk, and improve productivity.
