LawY vs ChatGPT: A comparison for lawyers

LawY vs ChatGPT

What is LawY?

LawY acts as your firm’s trusted AI legal assistant addressing your legal questions with instant AI-generated answers that can then be vetted and verified by professional lawyers. This blend of cutting-edge AI and human expertise is at the heart of LawY’s service, empowering you with answers you can trust.

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a chatbot and virtual assistant, released in November 2022. Developed by OpenAI, it leverages large language models, allowing users to have direct conversations and ask questions of it. ChatGPT is capable of performing a variety of tasks such as answering questions, generating creative content, and providing assistance with writing and research.

What are some of the key differences?

Relevance

One of the key differentiators between LawY and ChatGPT is features around relevance. LawY's offers instant AI-answers that are designed to be specific to the user's jurisdiction and matter type. In comparison, ChatGPT is known to provide more general answers which could even reference details outside of your jurisdiction. This could prove misleading or confusing.

Resource linking

LawY enhances its utility by linking resources directly below the answers it provides. This feature allows users to quickly access additional information and verify the sources of the legal advice given. The inclusion of linked resources adds a layer of transparency and credibility to the responses. In contrast, ChatGPT does not consistently provide linked resources, which can make it challenging for users to verify the accuracy and relevance of the information.

Verification by qualified lawyers

Another significant advantage of LawY is the ability to submit answers for verification by a qualified lawyer. This feature ensures that the legal advice provided is vetted by a professional, adding an extra layer of confidence for users. This is particularly important in the legal field, where accuracy and reliability are paramount. ChatGPT, however, does not offer a similar verification process, which may result in users relying on unverified and potentially flawed legal advice.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while both LawY and ChatGPT offer valuable services in the realm of legal AI, they cater to different needs and priorities. LawY stands out for its relevance, resource linking, and the option for verification by qualified lawyers. These features make it a reliable and trustworthy tool for legal professionals.

ChatGPT, while versatile and powerful, may fall short in terms of consistency and jurisdiction-specific accuracy. Legal professionals should carefully consider these differences when choosing the AI tool that best suits their needs.
