What you'll accomplish
You'll use ChatGPT Pro as a dedicated contract drafting assistant that produces first drafts of complete contract sections, scopes of work, and vendor communications faster than working from templates alone. This is the simplest path to substantial daily time savings, with no technical setup beyond signing up.
What you'll need
- ChatGPT account (chatgpt.com)
- ChatGPT Pro subscription ($20/month; free tier works but has slower response and lower limits)
- A contract or document you're currently working on to practice
- Time needed: 15 minutes to set up and run your first drafting session
- Cost: Free tier available; Pro $20/month for higher speed and usage limits
