Vibe Lawyering: Get More Done Without Becoming a Prompt-Engineering Guru
Where I share a new approach to lawyering with LawDroid Copilot
Hey there my fond friends! I don’t usually post about my product, LawDroid. But, in this case, like a proud parent, I can’t help myself.
A new user interface, combined with Perplexity-like search, and AI-dictation has resulted in an experience that is so groovy, I can only call it “Vibe Lawyering” and I had to share it with you!
But, if you’re not into product-related news, don’t fret — tomorrow, I’ll be publishing my thought piece as usual. However, if the thought of vibe lawyering has intrigued you, and you’d like to learn more, please read on…
The Problem We Don’t Talk About
Generative AI is everywhere, but most lawyers I meet still feel a disconnect between the hype and the day-to-day grind of practice. They see dazzling “prompt engineering” threads on LinkedIn, then stare at a blank ChatGPT screen wondering:
“Do I really need to memorize a 12-step prompt template just to draft an email?”
Spoiler: you don’t. And that’s where Vibe Lawyering comes in.
What Is Vibe Lawyering?
Vibe Lawyering is my shorthand for the newest flow inside LawDroid Copilot, a workflow that lets you:
Speak naturally (or type a quick thought)
Get instant, citation-backed answers from the web
Transform those answers into ready-to-send client communications, filings, or internal memos—all with one click
No prompt wizardry, no model-tuning, no jumping between ten different tools. You bring the legal expertise; Copilot handles the AI heavy lifting.

How It Works — An Example in 90 Seconds
1/. Dictate a real-world question
“California just raised the small-estate limit for probate to $750k. What’s the statute, and is a Judicial Council form out yet?”
2/. LawDroid Copilot runs a web search (think Perplexity-style, but inside your workspace), surfaces the statute (AB 2016), highlights the effective date, and cites official sources, so you can verify everything.
3/. Ask Copilot to draft a client alert
“Great, turn that into a client notification explaining the change and how we can help.”
4/. In seconds you have a polished, bullet-point note ready for your letterhead. Click Download, and Copilot drops a Word doc on your desktop.
5/. Tweak and send
6/. Add your signature block, fire it off, and move on to higher-value work.
That’s it. No engineering degree required. Just your legal brain, and a little vibe.
