The deposition you would have prepped twice
Your associate has a deposition on Thursday of the defendant's site supervisor. The prep work is what eats the week: pulling the personnel file, reading the prior interrogatory responses, building the exhibit binder, drafting the question outline. The Deposition Prep agent assembles the working draft in 90 minutes: profile, contradictions flagged, exhibits tabbed, question outline organized by theory of the case. The associate spends Wednesday refining instead of building from scratch. The deposition lands tighter.

Practice-area fit
Every engagement tunes the agent to your firm's specific matter mix. The areas below are where we've seen this agent fit most naturally.
Function
Safety posture
Every deliverable is a draft for the responsible attorney. The agent doesn't appear at the deposition, doesn't ask the questions, doesn't make the strategic calls. It builds the working materials so the attorney's prep time goes to refinement and judgment rather than assembly.
