Legal Operators Newsletter: Agent Secrets

August 25, 2025

Hi there, 

Every month, there seems to be a new AI buzz word that drives everyone into a frenzy.

Right now, it’s “AI Agents” or “Agentic Workflows” - and leaders at ILTACON and throughout the legal tech industry have thoughts.

Here’s the issue: untangling reality from hype is only getting harder. Are agents just a fresh coat of paint on automation? Is the goal here actually to create better outcomes or just cut costs? This playbook from Stanford Law has some answers, but if you want to learn and discuss these issues live, you should come to our event on September 4 at 12pm ET with Elly Meenan, Legal Operations Engineer, and Laura Jeffords Greenberg, Head of Wordsmith Academy.

We’ll be discussing real-world uses cases and best practices for creating legal agents - we hope you’ll join us.
