7 Routine Legal Tasks You Can Automate with AI

Legal work is not only about complex cases and strategic decisions. A significant part of a lawyer’s time is still spent on repetitive, routine tasks: reviewing documents, drafting standard texts, answering typical questions, and controlling deadlines.

Today, many of these tasks can be automated with AI — without hiring developers or launching complex IT projects. Low-code platforms like Botman.one make this automation accessible to legal teams of any size.
