In-house legal AI without a budget - what's working for us. Please share yours!

Keen to speak with peers working in-house who are building processes / systems for their legal teams and the interface between legal and the wider business with basic AI tooling - eg. CoPilot Cowork, Claude Cowork, etc. There is a lot of discussion about Claude Code and other more advanced implementations (as well as expensive subscriptions to the big dogs like Legora, Wordsmith, Luminance, etc) but for this I'm interested to hear about wins / share ideas for the basic stuff most people at most business would probably have access. For example, we have full Copilot rolled out across the business (with Frontier access if you ask for it), with a handful of people pilot testing the enterprise plan for Claude. We've built some basic but genuinely useful stuff with this set up so far (eg. I'll most commonly write skills and processes in Claude Cowork and process most of my personal work there but then export those MD files and install them as skills on Copilot for the rest of the business to use). So I'm seeing that there is real leverage available without necessarily needing to upskill everyone on all the new tools. The best concrete examples are: \- Legal agent open to the entire business via a Team channel where other employees can ask questions they would ordinarily send the legal team. This then triggers other sub skills in the background depending on the question and either provides a simple FAQ style answer based on our FAQ library, runs a skill (eg NDA triage based on the Claude Legal template), or prompts the person to email someone in legal directly. \- We have about 6 sub 'agents' running under that main legal agent which are triggered depending on the question. They're essentially skills that either process some sort of contract review based on our playbooks and templates (NDAs, commercial T&Cs etc), producing corporate documents based on natural language instruction (eg. we need to transfer shares in x company from y company to z company and it produces a checklist then drafts of all the requisite documents), etc. \- Automation of our minute taking and admin processes for Investment Committee and Board meetings. Sessions are transcribed then the agent combs through the materials from the SharePoint folder, the transcript and Copilot summary to produce a set of minutes based on our playbook, template and examples from prior sessions. The conditions and actions for each decision are then automatically written into our SharePoint lists which act as trackers for these, and an updated actions tracker with notifications to the relevant action owners etc is updated automatically pending approval. Anyway, I know all of this is basic compared to what many others in this subreddit are building but I think a lot can be done with tools most people already have access to / know how to use, and it feels like a great time to share some intel. All thoughts welcome - and DM me if you'd like to catch up for an actual chat.
