Retrieval Augmented Generation For Attorneys
Introduction
When it comes to legal matters, attorneys play a crucial role as they are trained professionals who provide legal advice and represent individuals, organizations, and government agencies in legal proceedings. They are responsible for interpreting laws, regulations, and advising their clients on their rights and obligations. With the ever-increasing complexity of legal documents and cases, attorneys are constantly facing the challenge of efficiently and accurately retrieving relevant information to support their cases.
Traditionally, attorneys have relied on manual research and analysis to gather information, which can be time-consuming and prone to human error. However, with the advancements in technology, there is now a more efficient and accurate way to retrieve information – Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). In this blog, we will explore what RAG is and how it can benefit attorneys in their daily tasks.
What is Retrieval Augmented Generation?
Retrieval Augmented Generation is a combination of two powerful natural language processing techniques – retrieval and generation. It uses a large language model, such as GPT-3, to generate text and a retrieval model to retrieve relevant information from a given dataset. This technique has gained popularity in recent years, especially in the legal industry, as it allows for faster and more accurate retrieval of information.
The Benefits of RAG for Attorneys
As a researcher, marketer, or organization, conducting RAG analysis on attorneys can provide valuable insights and benefits. Let’s take a look at some of them:
Efficient Retrieval of Information
One of the primary benefits of RAG for attorneys is the efficient retrieval of information. With the help of a large language model, attorneys can quickly generate relevant text, which can then be used to retrieve specific information from a given dataset. This significantly reduces the time and effort spent on manual research and analysis, allowing attorneys to focus on other important tasks.
Accurate Analysis of Legal Documents
RAG also enables attorneys to accurately analyze legal documents. With the help of a retrieval model, attorneys can specify the criteria for relevant information, such as keywords or phrases, and the model will retrieve the most relevant results. This ensures that attorneys are not missing any crucial information that could impact their case.
Identification of Trends and Patterns
By conducting RAG analysis, attorneys can also identify trends and patterns in legal documents. This can be particularly useful when working on complex cases that involve a large number of documents. By analyzing the generated text, attorneys can gain a better understanding of the case and identify any recurring themes or patterns that could help strengthen their argument.
Improved Decision Making
RAG can also aid attorneys in making more informed decisions. With the ability to quickly retrieve and analyze information, attorneys can gather all the necessary data to support their case. This can help them make more strategic and effective decisions, leading to better outcomes for their clients.
How Speak Ai Can Help
At Speak Ai, we understand the challenges that attorneys face when it comes to retrieving and analyzing information. That’s why we have integrated RAG into our software to help attorneys streamline their research and analysis process. Our software uses a combination of NLP techniques, data visualization, and Generative AI to provide attorneys with valuable insights and efficient retrieval of information.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Retrieval Augmented Generation has revolutionized the way attorneys retrieve and analyze information. With its ability to efficiently generate text and retrieve relevant information, attorneys can save time, make more informed decisions, and ultimately provide better services to their clients. As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see RAG becoming an essential tool for attorneys in the legal industry.

Speak is compatible with YouTube videos. All you have to do is copy the URL of the YouTube video (for example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKfcLcHeivc).

Once you have your file(s) ready and load it into Speak, it will automatically calculate the total cost (you get 30 minutes of audio and video free in the 7-day trial – take advantage of it!).
If you are uploading text data into Speak, you do not currently have to pay any cost. Only the Speak Magic Prompts analysis would create a fee which will be detailed below.
Once you go over your 30 minutes or need to use Speak Magic Prompts, you can pay by subscribing to a personalized plan using our real-time calculator.
You can also add a balance or pay for uploads and analysis without a plan using your credit card.
Step 4: Wait for Speak to Analyze Your Attorneys
If you are uploading audio and video, our automated transcription software will prepare your transcript quickly. Once completed, you will get an email notification that your transcript is complete.
That email will contain a link back to the file so you can access the interactive media player with the transcript, analysis, and export formats ready for you.
If you are importing CSVs or uploading text files Speak will generally analyze the information much more quickly.
Speak will automatically embed your data in a well-architected vector database which allows you to use retrieval augmented generation for Attorneys.
Step 5: Visit Your File Or Folder
Speak is capable of analyzing both individual files and entire folders of data.
When you are viewing any individual file in Speak, all you have to do is click on the “Prompts” button.
If you want to analyze many files, all you have to do is add the files you want to analyze into a folder within Speak.
You can do that by adding new files into Speak or you can organize your current files into your desired folder with the software’s easy editing functionality.
Step 6: Select Speak Magic Prompts To Analyze Your Attorneys
What Are Magic Prompts?
Speak Magic Prompts leverage innovation in artificial intelligence models often referred to as “generative AI”.
These models have analyzed huge amounts of data from across the internet to gain an understanding of language.
With that understanding, these “large language models” are capable of performing mind-bending tasks!
With Speak Magic Prompts, you can now perform those tasks on the audio, video and text data in your Speak account.
Retrieval augmented generation is what makes these Magic Prompts work so well.
Step 7: Select or Create Your Assistant Type
To help you get better results from Speak Magic Prompts, Speak has introduced “Assistant Type”.
These assistant types pre-set and provide context to the prompt engine for more concise, meaningful outputs based on your needs.
To begin, we have included:
- General
- Researcher
- Marketer
- Sales
- Recruiter
Choose the most relevant assistant type from the dropdown.
You can also create your own custom Assistant Template Type.
If you visit the new page Account Preferences, you can see there is now an area where you can create your own custom Assistant.
This allows you to set the context of the engine for higher quality and more consistent outputs.
For example, you could say:
“We are [COMPANY NAME]. We are analyzing [DATA] to understand how to improve [GOAL]. We want all responses to be concise and in table format.”.
This becomes a reusable template in any of your manual or automated Magic Prompts.
You can create multiple templates for different use cases.
As an example, the analysis you run on a focus group may be different than a one-on-one interview.
Step 8: Create Or Select Your Desired Prompt
Here are some examples prompts that you can apply to any file right now:
- Create a SWOT Analysis
- Give me the top action items
- Create a bullet point list summary
- Tell me the key issues that were left unresolved
- Tell me what questions were asked
A modal will pop up so you can use the suggested prompts we shared above to instantly and magically get your answers.
If you have your own prompts you want to create, select “Custom Prompt” from the dropdown and another text box will open where you can ask anything you want of your data!
Step 9: Review & Share Responses
Speak will generate a concise response for you in a text box below the prompt selection dropdown. With Chat enabled, you can also continue to query that data to reveal more insights and reformat the information to your needs.
In this example, we ask to analyze all the Attorneys in the folder at once for the top product dissatisfiers.
You can easily copy that response for your presentations, content, emails, team members and more!
