01The opportunity
Solo and small-firm attorneys cannot automate routine document assembly because existing tools require Python scripting and LLMs cannot operate desktop software like LibreOffice or PDF editors. They lose billable hours manually merging letterhead templates with case content and typing into scanned PDF forms. A visual, no-code workflow builder with native template merging and PDF text-layer injection would let lawyers automate these tasks without coding.
