⚖️ Build Your Own Legal Agent
Hands-On NDA Review with Configurable Rules
Feat. Special Guest Lily Schurra, Senior Commercial Counsel at Sourcegraph.
Turn AI from hype into help. Build a real legal agent that reviews NDAs the way you do.
🧭 Overview
You’ve heard about “AI agents.” Now it’s time to build one that actually works for legal teams.
In this hands-on, one-hour workshop, you’ll build an AI-powered Legal Agent that reviews NDAs and flags issues based on your own configurable review rules, not generic legal advice.
Using ChatGPT and Zapier, with no code required, we’ll walk through how to create a lightweight agent that can:
Read an NDA
Apply custom review logic including preferred positions, red flags, and fallbacks
Summarize issues clearly for a lawyer to act on
This is not theory. You’ll leave with a working agent you can extend to real-world legal workflows.
🧠 What You’ll Learn
How to structure NDA review rules so AI evaluates contracts the way you do
How to turn legal judgment, such as preferred positions and unacceptable terms, into simple reusable prompts
How to build an NDA review agent that:
Summarizes key clauses
Flags deviations from your standards
Produces clear, lawyer-ready output
How to extend the same approach to:
Commercial contract reviews
Internal company legal questions
Intake questionnaries
No engineering required. No brittle automations. Just practical, configurable legal AI.
👩⚖️ Who Should Join
Lawyers and legal ops professionals exploring AI beyond demos
In-house counsel who review NDAs regularly and want leverage
Legal innovators who want to build tools, not just evaluate them
No technical background required. If you understand NDAs, you can build this.
