How to Use AI to Generate Legal Documents - Detailed Guide

Imagine drafting a contract or a will with just a few keystrokes. That’s the promise of generative AI tools today. ChatGPT and other AI assistants can now draft everything from NDAs to leases, saving time and cutting costs. In this guide, we’ll walk through how ordinary people and small businesses can leverage AI for legal paperwork.

We cover common document types (contracts, NDAs, wills, leases, demand letters, privacy policies, and more), explore top AI platforms (ChatGPT, Spellbook, Rocket Lawyer, DoNotPay, Lexion, LawGeex, and others), and share concrete prompt examples. We’ll also discuss formatting, tone and customization tips, and important caveats (like verifying AI output and staying compliant with US law). By the end, you’ll have a solid roadmap for using AI to draft legal docs – and avoid common pitfalls along the way.

Why Use AI for Legal Documents?

Legal document drafting is often tedious and expensive. Generative AI promises to transform this by automating routine drafting and review. For instance, one analysis found that AI can cut due diligence review time by up to 70% on average. Instead of sifting through fine print, an AI can flag key clauses or even draft them for you. In practice, lawyers and business owners report that AI tools help them generate or redraft entire contracts in seconds.

The benefits are clear: time savings, consistency, and lower cost. An attorney can focus on the trickiest parts of a deal while AI handles boilerplate language. Even solo entrepreneurs can spin up an NDA or lease using ChatGPT or a specialized service without hiring a lawyer (though we’ll stress checking work!). In 2024, Suffolk University Law Dean Andrew Perlman noted that ChatGPT “may portend an even more momentous shift” in legal drafting, see: clp.law.harvard.edu, and many lawyers agree – AI is a practical assistant for boring stuff.

Of course, AI isn’t perfect. Models can “hallucinate” (make stuff up) or miss nuances. A cautionary tale: a lawyer once got sanctioned for citing fictional cases that ChatGPT invented (see: legaldive.com). That’s an extreme example, but it underscores the need to always review AI-generated text. The American Bar Association’s new ethics opinion explicitly warns lawyers to remain competent and protect client confidentiality when using AI. For non-lawyers, the lesson is similar: AI can draft a solid first draft, but you or a lawyer should proofread it.

With those cautions in mind, let’s explore the world of AI-assisted legal drafting: what you can do today, how to do it well, and which tools to try.

Common AI-Generated Legal Documents

AI can help with nearly any document that’s mostly text and structure. Here are some of the most common legal documents a US user might generate:

Contracts and Agreements: This includes sales contracts, service agreements, employment contracts, partnership agreements, gig/freelance contracts, and more. AI can fill in details like parties, price, scope of work, and clauses (confidentiality, termination, etc.). For example, you could prompt: “Draft a simple service contract between Acme Corp and Jane Doe for graphic design services, including scope of work, payment terms, and termination clause. Use a formal tone.”
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs): NDAs protect sensitive info by legally binding parties to secrecy. You might use AI to create an NDA for a business partnership or hiring a consultant. E.g.: “Write an NDA between TechStart LLC and freelance consultant John Smith for a new product idea. Include definitions of confidential info, obligations of the receiving party, a 3-year term, and California law compliance.”
Last Will and Testament (Wills): AI can help a person outline their will (naming beneficiaries, executors, etc.). For example: “Generate a last will and testament for Sarah Brown, 45, living in Texas. She has two children, and her estate includes a house and retirement account. Name her sister as executor and distribute assets equally.” (Be extra cautious: some states have strict rules for wills, and AI can’t replace an attorney’s guidance on state law.)
Leases: Residential or commercial lease agreements can be drafted with AI. For instance: “Create a one-year residential lease agreement for an apartment in New York. Include rent ($1,500/month), security deposit, lease term, late fees, and maintenance responsibilities.” The AI can structure it with section headings (Term, Rent, Deposit, Utilities, etc.) and bullet points or numbered lists.
Demand Letters and Notices: These are one-party letters demanding action (like payment of a debt or remedy of a breach). You could prompt: “Write a demand letter from John Doe to a tenant who hasn’t paid rent for three months. Demand full payment by a certain date or eviction.” Or: “Draft a cease-and-desist letter to a website copying our trademarked logo.”
Privacy Policies and Terms of Service: Websites and apps often need privacy policies. AI can generate a draft privacy policy based on business details. Example: “Generate a privacy policy for ExampleApp, a mobile app that collects emails and GPS data. Cover data collection, use, cookies, GDPR compliance, and contact info.” Note: Privacy laws (like GDPR or California’s CCPA) are complex, so always double-check legal compliance.
Power of Attorney, Prenuptial Agreements, and Others: Other niche docs (estate planning forms, finance releases, health care directives, etc.) can be started with AI. For example, “Write a durable power of attorney appointing my brother as agent, for healthcare decisions only, lasting until revoked.”

Each document has its own style and requirements. The tone can vary – NDAs and leases are usually very formal and neutral, wills can be formal (even archaic-sounding), whereas demand letters might use a firmer or more urgent tone. In each prompt, you can specify the style (e.g. “friendly”, “plain English”, “legal formal”). AI will adjust wording and format accordingly. For example, you might say “Write an NDA in plain English for non-lawyers” if you want simpler language.

A key tip: Always mention jurisdiction or governing law in your prompt when relevant. U.S. laws vary by state, so specify “under California law” or “following New York contract law” if needed. Also include any special requirements (like that leases must comply with California landlord-tenant law, or that a will should follow Texas rules). While AI doesn’t always strictly enforce legal rules, stating them gives clues to include typical clauses.

Top AI Platforms for Legal Documents

ChatGPT (by OpenAI)

ChatGPT (with GPT-4 or GPT-4o) is a general-purpose chatbot that can draft and refine legal text on demand. It’s free or low-cost (basic tier is free; advanced models may require paid access). Because it’s so accessible, many people start here. You simply type your prompt in natural language and get text back.

Strengths: Extremely flexible – can write any type of document if prompted well. You can interactively ask follow-up questions, adjust tone, ask for bullet points vs paragraphs, etc. It supports web browsing (in newer versions) and can even cite statutes (though check accuracy).
Limitations: ChatGPT isn’t specialized in law. It knows a lot but doesn’t “know” actual case law beyond its training data cutoff. It can hallucinate details (fake laws, wrong clauses) and has inconsistent quality on strict legal formats. It also doesn’t remember anything about you between chats (unless you teach it via the prompt each time). Privacy is a concern if you feed it confidential info.

Prompt example for ChatGPT:

“I want to draft a mutual non-disclosure agreement between XYZ Corp (Disclosing Party) and Jane Doe (Receiving Party) for a potential business partnership. Confidential information includes client lists and trade secrets. Obligations: the receiving party must keep info secret, use it only for evaluation, and return materials upon request. Exclusions: info already public or developed independently. Duration: 2 years. Please write in formal legal style with headings and bullet points.”

This will produce a structured NDA draft. You might then ask “shorten it by 20%” or “add a clause about injunctive relief” and iterate. Using ChatGPT effectively is about building good prompts and refining outputs.

Key point: Treat ChatGPT like a junior lawyer. It can draft and redline, but always fact-check and customize the result. Think of it as a sophisticated template-filler and idea generator.

Spellbook

Spellbook is an AI assistant built specifically for lawyers, integrated into Microsoft Word. It uses GPT-4 and legal data to help draft and review contracts. According to Spellbook, it can “automatically generate entire agreements, specific contract clauses, and amendments” and detect issues like ambiguities and inconsistencies. Because it plugs into Word, you draft in your usual document and use Spellbook on the side to refine text.

Features: Clause library (quickly insert commonly used clauses), redlining assistance (AI suggests edits), “Assistant” chat interface inside Word, and an analytics dashboard. It can enforce style guidelines and recognize context (works where lawyers do).
Who it’s for: Primarily law firms or corporate legal teams handling many contracts. It’s a paid product (focuses on transactional law).
Usage: You might select text and ask Spellbook to “simplify this clause” or “generate a confidentiality clause with X.” It will output in the document. For example, Spellbook’s own docs say it offers “auto-generation of legal text” and in practice can spit out a tailored NDA or section at the click of a button.

Rocket Lawyer / LegalZoom and Similar Services

Companies like Rocket Lawyer and LegalZoom have long offered online document assembly (mostly form-based). Lately, they’ve infused AI into their platforms. Rocket Lawyer’s recent announcement highlights that its “AI system…automate[s] the generation of valid and enforceable legal documents across multiple jurisdictions”. They combine AI with human review: after generating a doc, a licensed attorney can double-check it.

Rocket Lawyer AI: They call it Rocket Lawyer AI™ (RLAI). It uses GPT-4 behind the scenes to help draft and to power chat functions. For example, a user could ask RLAI to “explain this contract clause” or “add a termination clause.” Rocket Lawyer emphasizes safety – it “leverages vast amounts of verified data” and mixes in licensed attorneys for compliance.
LegalZoom Doc Assist: LegalZoom’s “Doc Assist” uses AI to summarize documents (it highlights key parts and answers questions about uploaded contracts). It currently focuses on review/summaries rather than fresh drafting. But LegalZoom is rolling out a drafting assistant in beta, so it’s worth watching.

These services often have free trials or low-cost plans. They guide you through forms or chats and end up delivering a polished document. The convenience is high for a layperson, but be mindful: like all AI, they usually include disclaimers (LegalZoom, for instance, clearly states “Doc Assist…does not provide legal advice”).

DoNotPay

DoNotPay bills itself as an “AI lawyer” for consumers. It can handle things like small claims letters, parking ticket appeals, and even simple legal forms. (Fun fact: DoNotPay was in the news – the FTC recently fined them $193k for claiming it was a robot lawyer when it hadn’t adequately tested its service.) The FTC’s complaint mentioned DoNotPay’s chatbot generated NDAs, prenuptial agreements and more. In practice, you tell the DoNotPay bot what you need (e.g. “write an NDA”) and it prompts for details.

Strengths: Very user-friendly for basic needs. No cost for many features.
Limitations: It’s not a substitute for an attorney. The FTC’s action is a reminder that such tools can be unreliable. Use DoNotPay with caution, especially for anything complex or critical.

Lexion

Lexion offers AI-driven contract management. Its “AI Contract Assist” (in closed beta) brings GPT into Word. The idea: you can ask Lexion to suggest contract language or review against your company’s playbook. For example, Lexion can “generate new clause language instantly to jump-start drafting” by having you describe what you need.

It’s more enterprise-focused (for in-house legal teams). Lexion emphasizes efficiency: “accelerate contract review and drafting” by up to 80%lexion.ai and flag terms that deviate from your preferences.

In practical terms, Lexion is like Spellbook but part of a larger contract lifecycle platform. If you are in a corporate legal dept, Lexion can learn your company’s standards (“playbooks”) so that AI suggestions automatically match your policy. For a small business owner, Lexion may be too enterprise, but it shows the trend: specialized AI tools are emerging for different legal roles.

LawGeex

LawGeex is known for AI contract review rather than generation. It compares contracts to pre-set criteria and redlines issues. Its marketing says “AI Contract Review” returns the contract “for signature or revision” quickly. LawGeex lets companies define a playbook of required clauses; the AI then flags any deviations. It also has a “Contract Approval Workflow”.

While LawGeex doesn’t write the initial draft, it’s worth knowing: after you generate a contract (via ChatGPT or lawyers), you could run it through LawGeex to check for missing language or inconsistent terms. Many users say LawGeex saved them hours and thousands of dollars in contract review, see: blog.lawgeex.com.

Other Notable Tools

Clio (Clio Duo): Clio, a popular law practice management suite, has an AI assistant for lawyers. Clio’s blog notes you can prompt it for research, summarizing, even drafting briefs. Clio’s focus is small law firms, so its ChatGPT integration is handy for drafting legal memos or letters.
Do-it-yourself with GPT-4+ Plugins: If you have ChatGPT Plus (or enterprise), you could use plugins or browsing to access up-to-date law content. For example, the Bing Chat (which uses GPT-4) or other AI tools might allow asking about recent regulations.
Google Gemini (formerly Bard) and Microsoft Copilot: Similar to ChatGPT, these tools can draft text. Google’s Gemini can search the web; Microsoft Copilot is integrated into Word/365. They can sometimes give more current info (e.g. mention a law passed in 2024).

Choosing a tool depends on your needs. For straightforward tasks, free ChatGPT or Google Gemini might suffice. For higher-stakes contracts, consider a specialized service like Spellbook or Rocket Lawyer (which adds a lawyer review). Always weigh cost vs risk: a lengthy contract might justify paying for a trial of a premium tool or a lawyer’s hour, whereas a quick NDA could be fine with ChatGPT and a template.

Writing Good AI Prompts: Examples and Tips

The quality of your AI-generated document hinges on how you prompt the AI. A vague prompt yields generic text; a clear, detailed prompt gets closer to what you want. Here are best practices and prompt examples for different doc types:

Be specific about parties and purpose. Always name the parties (“Alice, a graphic designer, and XYZ Corp, a marketing firm”) and state the context. For example: “Draft a simple mutual NDA between QuickTech LLC (disclosing party) and Pat Taylor (receiving party) for discussions about a new mobile app. Include clauses on confidentiality obligations, non-use except for the business discussion, exclusions (like info already public), and a 2-year term.”
Specify document structure and tone. If you want numbered sections, bullet points, or formal headings, say so. E.g.: “Write this as a formal contract with numbered sections and headings like ‘Term’ and ‘Governing Law’.”
“Explain this legal agreement in plain, non-technical language as if to a client.”
Include any legal specifics. For U.S. context, mention state law or federal law if relevant: “under California law”, “in compliance with GDPR”. The AI will try to include legal terms accordingly. For example: “Generate a 1-year residential lease for an apartment in California. Include state-specific tenant rights, a security deposit equal to one month’s rent, and late fee of 5%. Use California landlord-tenant law terms.”
Set the output format. ChatGPT can output in various formats. If you need a table, list, or Q&A style, describe it: “Output the answer as a three-point bullet list summarizing each party’s obligations.”

“Produce a contract with the following headings: ‘Parties’, ‘Definitions’, ‘Obligations’, ‘Term’, ‘Termination’, ‘Signatures’.”
Add context or examples. If you have a template clause or example, include it or describe it. E.g.: “Make the confidentiality clause similar to this example: [paste example clause]. Then write other sections in a similar level of detail.”

Example Prompts for Different Documents

Simple Contract:
“Draft a freelance services agreement between Alice Smith (freelancer) and TechCo Inc (client). Alice will design a logo by June 30 for $2,000. Include clauses: scope of work, payment terms (50% upfront, 50% on completion), ownership of work, confidentiality, and California choice of law. Number the sections.”
NDA:
“Write a non-disclosure agreement (unilateral) where Acme Corp (Disclosing Party) shares confidential data with Bob Lee (Receiving Party) for evaluation. Define confidential info as proprietary business plans and code. Receiving party must keep information secret, return documents after 1 year, and not use info beyond the evaluation purpose. Exclude information that is public or independently developed. Term: 2 years. Use formal language.”
Last Will:
“Create a Last Will and Testament for Jane Doe (age 50) of Illinois. She is married to John Doe and has two adult children, Mary and Joe. She appoints her brother Mike as executor. She leaves her house and investments equally to Mary and Joe. If either child dies first, their share goes to their issue. Include a health care directive waiver, and use Illinois legal style.”
Lease Agreement:
“Generate a one-year lease agreement for an apartment in New York City. Landlord: Green Apartments LLC. Tenant: Raj Patel. Rent: $2,500/month due on the 1st, security deposit $2,500. Include utilities (Tenant pays gas/electric), late fee ($50), pet rules (no pets), and termination (30-day notice). Use standard lease format with sections.”
Demand Letter:
“Draft a demand letter on behalf of Alex Nguyen to a former tenant, Samantha Lee, who has not paid July rent ($1,200). State the facts, demand payment by August 10 or eviction proceedings will follow. Use a firm but polite tone, as a lawyer would, and include reference to the lease agreement and New York rent laws.”
Privacy Policy:
“Write a privacy policy for ‘BestShop.com’, an online retail site. It collects names, emails, addresses, and payment info. Mention cookies, third-party services, and that it does not sell data. Comply with California CCPA and GDPR by stating users can request data deletion. Use straightforward language for customers.”

After generating, you can refine the prompt or ask for revisions: “remove overly complex terms”, “shorten the introduction”, or “make it more professional.”

Formatting and Style Tips

Formal vs. Plain Language: Legal docs often use “shall” and passive voice (“the Tenant shall pay rent”). If you prefer modern language, instruct the AI “use ‘must’ instead of ‘shall’ and active voice”. For a plain-language summary, say “rewrite this clause so a non-lawyer could understand it.”
Length and Detail: State how comprehensive you want it. For a quick outline, you might ask “list bullet points of what should be in a partnership agreement.” For full drafts, ask for complete paragraphs under each heading.
Consistency: If you plan multiple documents (e.g. an NDA and then a contract), maintain consistency. You can feed one AI output into the next prompt: “Using the previous NDA draft, now create a matching service contract with the same parties.”
Review and Customize: AI output often needs tweaks. Check especially:
- Legal accuracy: Are there any made-up laws or wrong terms? (ChatGPT might invent a statute name, for example.)
- Missing sections: Compare with a template or checklist to ensure nothing critical is left out.
- Tone and Typos: AI can occasionally produce awkward phrasing or minor errors. Proofread carefully.
Version Control: Keep your own edits. Always treat the AI draft like a starting point. Save each version and annotate changes.

Best Practices and Pitfalls

While AI can produce impressive drafts, remember: AI is not a lawyer. Here are key best practices:

Review and Verify Everything: Check dates, names, and legal terms. Make sure the AI didn’t invent case law or mix up jurisdiction rules. The Stanford study found chatbots hallucinate legal info up to 82% of the time on legal questions. If something looks odd, it probably is. Cross-check facts and numbers.
Protect Confidentiality: Do not feed highly sensitive personal or proprietary information into AI tools that log data. ChatGPT’s data policy historically allowed input to train the model unless you’re on a business plan. Even specialized legal AI should be vetted. The ABA recommends lawyers consider confidentiality obligations when using AI. If you must input confidential data, use an on-premise or enterprise solution with strong data privacy.
Use Disclaimers: If you use an AI-generated document, it’s wise to add your own disclaimer (especially in business contexts): “This document was generated with AI assistance and reviewed by [your company/you], but is not a substitute for professional legal advice.” This helps clarify that it’s a starting point, not a lawyer’s stamp of approval.
Stay Updated on Law: AI knowledge often lags (ChatGPT’s base knowledge stops around 2021, though plugins or newer GPTs can query the web). For new laws (e.g., a 2024 privacy regulation), AI might miss them. Add a clause like “comply with current federal and state law” to cover yourself, and manually update legal references as needed.
Customize to Your Situation: The more details you give, the better. A generic prompt yields generic results. Include the why: e.g., “We need this contract urgently for a pending deal” or “this letter should come across as assertive.” Tell the AI about special factors (a startup budget, a veteran preference, etc.) to get a personalized document.
Iterate and Collaborate: Think of AI as a collaborator. You might draft a rough agreement, then ask the AI to rephrase or expand sections. Or ask for alternative wording: “Offer me two different termination clause options.” You can also ask the AI to identify issues: e.g., “Does this contract favor one party too heavily?”
Know When to See a Lawyer: For major transactions (buying a house, starting a business, or any situation with big stakes), AI can help you prepare, but it’s usually wise to have an attorney review. AI can save you hours of initial drafting, but a lawyer ensures compliance with all legal nuances.

Additional Resources

Official Legal References: For exact legal requirements (statutes, state-specific rules), consult official sources. For example, the U.S. Small Business Administration or state bar websites may have guides on contracts and forms.
AI Tool Websites: Check the platforms’ own guides and FAQs. Spellbook’s learning hub and Rocket Lawyer’s newsroom have useful info about how their AI works.
Legal News and Blogs: Follow publications like ABA Journal, LegalTech News, and LegalDive for updates on AI in law. For instance, the FTC’s recent order against DoNotPay reminds us that regulators are paying attention.
Training and Courses: Some law schools and legal tech firms offer tutorials on prompt engineering and AI ethics in law. The Stanford HAI legal AI study is a sobering read on current limitations.

Conclusion

Using AI to generate legal documents can be a huge time-saver. With tools from ChatGPT to Rocket Lawyer, anyone can draft contracts, letters, and policies faster than ever. The key is knowing the strengths and limits of each platform, writing clear prompts, and always reviewing the output carefully.

Follow the tips above, stay informed about legal developments, and use AI as your drafting assistant – not your final answer. With due diligence, AI can help you navigate the paperwork so you can focus on the bigger picture.
