Ten Things: Cool Tech for In-House Counsel (2021 Edition)
https://sterlingmiller2014.wordpress.com/2021/08/31/ten-things-cool-tech-for-in-house-counsel-2021-edition/
Paragraph for lawyers to describe it and provide links. A link to a youtube video would be great. Carrying over unfinished to-dos, using natural language to set reminders, and helping people be more productive would be helpful.

First drafts
Parker: Twos. Have you ever forgotten someone’s name? It’s easy to forget things, especially with the amount of things we have going on today. Twos understands this and created a quick and simple to remember any *thing*. You can use it for meeting notes, client information, lunch meetings, personal and work tasks, planning your day, reminders using your natural language (I.e. send Brian an email on Monday), grocery lists and much more. Every day, Twos asks if you want to carry over your unfinished to-dos from yesterday so you don’t need to rewrite them (this can be automated with a setting), you can integrate your Google, Apple, and Outlook calendars with links to your Zoom meetings, and you can collaborate and share lists with your family and co-workers. It’s a simple and powerful even for little things we don’t want to forget like someone’s name. It’s a free iOS and Android app and it syncs with any computer at www.TwosApp.com . Here is a short video to get started, but you probably won’t need it with how simple Twos makes it to remember things.

Dad: Twos (https://www.TwosApp.com). To avoid forgetting any”thing” (which is defined as everything!), whether professional (e.g., clients’ specifics, deadlines, tasks, case strategies, etc.) or personal, and to have all things quickly accessible at your “fingertips” (it’s searchable!), check out this very robust app. It easily solves the problem of potentially forgetting or misplacing things due to the sheer number of things we’re bombarded with each day, daily distractions, our minds’ limited capacity to sort and recall everything we need to, etc. It does this with a simple and quick approach to remember all “things.” It’s perfect for meeting notes, client information, lunch meetings, work and personal tasks, daily planning, reminders using natural language (e.g., “Send Brian an email Monday regarding case strategy.”), to-do and grocery lists, and much, much more.

Example paragraphs from last year
Wanderlog. Like many of you, I was finally starting to travel a lot after getting vaccinated. I have always done a lot of traveling for business and for fun and it felt great to be eating crappy food and sitting at the gate waiting to join the rush for overhead bin space. While travel seems to be slowing down somewhat (again, thank you Delta variant), I did find an incredibly useful new itinerary app for my smartphone: Wanderlog. Man, do I love this app (and so do many others). Check out the website for more details, but with this app, you can: View your map and itinerary in one view. Add places from guides with one click. Collaborate with friends in real-time. Import all of your trip details. Optimize your route. Access to curated travel guides for your destination Much, much more.
Ginger (writing app). I am a big fan of Grammarly (free version), the most popular writing-assistance app out there today. It made my Cool Tech list a few years back. I use it when I write this blog and for emails and Word documents (even contracts I am drafting). It works great. But, Ginger is going to give Grammarly a run for its money. Ginger, of course, corrects spelling and simple grammatical errors. It also makes changes and recommendations for sentence structure, punctuation, and writing style. It makes suggestions for re-phrasing wording and uses artificial intelligence to suggest synonyms. Best of all, it’s free (though the free version is more limited than the free version of Grammarly, which is a downside). Of course, just like spell check in Word, you should not over-rely on Ginger, Grammarly, or any other tool to properly edit your writing. The suggestions are generally correct, but not always. So, always take responsibility for proofreading your own writing.
Any.do. Part of being a lawyer is the never-ending search for a “to-do” list tool that works like you do. Any.do may be the answer. It’s a slick app that works with just about any device or browser. There is a helpful YouTube tutorial for beginners on it here. It is pretty powerful for individuals and families (as you can share lists), and it also works for teams at the office. It works equally well for work tasks and personal tasks, with a simple interface and color-coding features. I have my battles with to-do lists generally (not a fan) but I recognize that many people love them and there is value in keeping an overall list of open projects (at home and the office). Any.do may be the answer I have been looking for.
Summize. I know I said I wasn’t going to get into contract management software. I lied. Going over my notes for this blog, I realized that I wanted to share one contract management tool that has a lot of promise for in-house lawyers. Summize is a relatively new player on the contract tech/CLM stage. I saw it in action for creating a contract checklist, i.e., a form tied to your contract playbook or other requirements that allows you (or the business) to quickly review a contract to see if it contains the right clauses or not (and if further legal review is needed). It, of course, does much more than that. One core feature is its ability to provide an accurate summary of any contract you load into the tool. The summary can be something you share with the business or, for most in-house legal departments, a way to save time, i.e., reviewing contracts with a list of the issues that need your attention and feeling confident in ignoring things that don’t matter. I think the folks at Summize have a pretty cool product because it is customizable and can be purposed to work like you and your team work when it comes to contract review and management. It works with Teams, Slack, Sharepoint, etc. They also pride themselves in low friction deployment with a low-cost point. It’s worth checking out to see if it can help your team save time and add value.
Coogle.it. Lawyers like to think linearly, i.e., go from A to D to Z, in order. But, the world doesn’t always play along and neither do complex problems at work. Things get messy, things overlap, things are connecting multiple data points in weird ways. This can all lead to one massive headache and hours of “start over” drafting, or, worse, the inability to explain what you are thinking to your boss, your colleagues, or the business. Coogle lets you create mindmaps and flow charts that allow you to think, draft, connect ideas, and present in ways you cannot easily capture in an email or PowerPoint. For example, if you have ever used a decision tree to help present options to the business, Coogle makes the task easy. There are free and paid versions. I have been using the free version so far and it’s great. It is the perfect brainstorming tool, and a way to open up your mind to looking at – and solving – problems differently. You can get a quick peek at how it works here.
