LexBlog is upgrading its AI enabled publishing platform for professionals.

Wednesday morning I got a glimpse of what LexBlog could do in adding AI features via the WordPress block editor.

This morning I saw the features running – in test – on the LexBlog platform.

Features may or may not be the right word as we’re talking about how we present OpenAI’s ChatGPT to professionals as part of AI enabled publishing, altogether.

Colin O’Keefe, our Director of Products, provided a nice summary last night on “Where we’re at on AI – and where we’re headed.” Read the whole piece, I am sharing excerpts.

To get our first rev done quickly and put it in user’s hands so we could start learning how bloggers want to use AI in publishing, we started simple.

Prompt ChatGPT for a title to a post you’ve written, a summary to be shared in LinkedIn, example Tweets, a bulleted list of items to cover etc.

Our beta users will soon be able to just hit the backslash key and then an “ai” button and it will call up options for blocks utilizing our AI Assist. 

An example without AI enabled blocks yet:

We’re also building building some purpose specific AI publishing tasks.

For example, what points the user would want to make sure to cover in a post with the title they provided.

Leveraging open – OpenAI’s ChatGPT’s API and WordPress, the largest open-source content management system in the world – LexBlog, as the leading turnkey publishing platform for legal, can really open things up in AI assisted publishing. And do so, quickly.

Stay tuned.

I am a trial lawyer, turned legal tech entrepreneur, now leading the largest community of legal publishers in the world at LexBlog, Inc.

I am a lawyer of 39 years. Wanting to be a lawyer since I was a kid, I have loved almost every minute of it.

I practiced as a trial lawyer in rural Wisconsin for 17 years, representing plaintiffs, whether they were injury victims and their family members or small businesses.

In the mid-nineties, I discovered the Internet in the form of AOL. I began helping people by answering questions on AOL message boards and leading AOL’s legal community.

I later started my own listservs and message boards to help people on personal injury, medical malpractice, workers compensation and plaintiff’s employment law matters. Though we were green to technology and the Internet, USA Today said if my firm “didn’t stop what we were doing, we would give lawyers a good name.”

In 1999, I closed my law firm and we moved, as a family of seven, to Seattle to start my first company. Prairielaw.com was a virtual law community of people helping people, a sort of AOL on the law, featuring message boards, articles, chats, listervs and ask-a-lawyer.

Prairielaw.com was sold to LexisNexis, where it was incorporated into Martindale-Hubbell’s lawyers.com.

After a stint as VP of Business Development at LexisNexis, I founded LexBlog out of my garage in 2004 (no affiliation with LexisNexis).

Knowing lawyers get their best work from relationships and a strong word of mouth reputation, and not promoting themselves, I saw blogging as a perfect way for lawyers to build relationships and a reputation.

When I could not find someone to help me with my own blog, I started a company to provide what I needed. Strategy, professional design, platform, coaching, SEO, marketing and free ongoing support.

As a result of the outstanding work of my team of twenty and my blogging, the LexBlog community has grown to a community of over 30,000 legal professionals, world-wide.

Publishing my blog, Real Lawyers, now in its 18th year, I share information, news, and commentary to help legal professionals looking to network online, whether it be via blogging or other social media.

Blogging also enables me to think through my ideas – out loud and in an engaging fashion.

In addition to my blog, I liberally share others’ insight on Twitter. Feel free to engage me there as well on LinkedIn and Facebook.
