Opening r/LegalAIOperators to the public: A strictly vendor-free space for practical legal AI workflows

Working in-house, I've been getting increasingly frustrated trying to find a place to discuss practical legal AI workflows without getting swamped by vendor pitches and thinly veiled ads. A while back, I created r/LegalAIOperators as a private, practitioner-focused space for lawyers actively trying to build repeatable AI workflows. We've grown to a solid baseline of around 300 approved users, but generating active, ongoing conversation in a walled garden has been tough. To fix that, **I am opening the sub up to the public today.** **If you are a practicing legal professional, in-house counsel, or legal ops professional—and NOT a vendor, technologist, or working for a legal tech company—we'd love to have you.** Topics we are actively tackling include: * Real-world contract review systems (e.g., NDA review automation) * Prompt and workflow design for regulatory filings and compliance * Claude / ChatGPT / Harvey in actual, daily practice * Overcoming internal adoption challenges * Establishing rock-solid confidentiality guardrails The core value of this sub is the signal-to-noise ratio. It will remain strictly limited to active legal practitioners. I will be very active in banning and removing posts that stray too close to the vendor line ("I was struggling to do X, so I built a tool..."). We want this to be a highly practical sister-forum to r/legaltech. Come join us, and for your first post, let us know which specific tools you are currently experimenting with or the biggest workflow hurdle you're trying to solve this week!
