Pitfalls to watch at work

Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant

The document is sent to Adobe's cloud for the answer: check whether company policy allows this for contracts under NDA
Answers about documents in less common languages often switch to English or lose detail, so test on one page before relying on it
A summary with a page reference can still retell a condition inaccurately: open the cited page for amounts and deadlines

Harvey

Harvey's legal sources are strongest for the US and the UK, and its knowledge of other jurisdictions is limited: check provisions in the official sources
Check case and statute references against the primary source before they go into a client document
The contract with the vendor must state that client documents are never used to train the model
