ChatGPT for law firms is OpenAI’s Astra for Law (model picker: GPT-6 Astra Law), launched ~Sep 17, 2026. It is GPT-6 Astra tuned for legal work, not a separate consumer ChatGPT plan. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 - Dedicated Legal Search Index over U.S. case law, statutes, regulations, court rules, and admin decisions (OpenAI cites 230M+ URLs; index updates daily). - Custom instructions for legal analysis and writing: research from client facts, argue positions, spot objections / weak cases, deal terms. - Partner plugins into firm tools (examples named: Harvey, Legora, Thomson Reuters, iManage). Community skills from LegalQuants, LECG, Skills.law. - Caselaw partnership with Free Law Project / CourtListener. 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁 - Early access only for selected U.S. law firms via OpenAI’s Trusted Access (plus Codex; API “coming soon”). - Eligible lawyers and people under their supervision. - A normal paid ChatGPT plan does not unlock it — you request via OpenAI Sales / account team. - Reporting often frames the first wave as Am Law 200–oriented; smaller firms may meet it later inside Harvey/Legora-style products once the API ships. Trust / confidentiality (OpenAI’s claims) - “Legal-grade” controls, zero data retention option, ChatGPT Enterprise usage excluded from human review. - OpenAI still says: review answers and cited sources before relying on them. Pilot firms named - Cooley, Ropes & Gray, Sullivan & Cromwell (building on ChatGPT Enterprise). Competitive context - Same vertical race as Microsoft Legal Agent (Word), Anthropic Claude for Legal, Google Gemini Enterprise for Legal. Why it matters for Solo Experts - Pattern: big labs shipping industry-specific ChatGPT + search index + plugins, not just a better general model. - Access is gated; most solo/small practices won’t get Trusted Access soon, but the plugin / “bring your matter tools into ChatGPT” move is the reusable idea. - Official help: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001528-astra-for-law

I'm seeing news this morning that OpenAI has removed the ability for personal accounts to create new customGPTs. On their support doc: 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗚𝗣𝗧 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗚𝗣𝗧 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲, 𝗚𝗼, 𝗣𝗹𝘂𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼. NOTE: If you have existing GPTs, you can still update them! Time to use Codex or Claude to remake your gpts!

I'd love to know in your own words... What the biggest thing you'd love support with from AI?

Yesterday I was looking for a newsletter writer skill, and I realized I didn't have one. I immediately went into "should I build it myself, or should I buy one already created?" mode. I ended up spending the time to create my own ~ based exactly on my brand colors, my design, and everything I wanted for a newsletter outline. Here's why I went that route instead of buying one: There are a lot of generic skills on the market. And a good skill should need customization from you anyway. So if I was going to spend the time customizing somebody else's ~ I might as well just build my own. {Which is exactly what I did.} Creating skills is not difficult. It just takes a little patience and some testing. So I'm wondering if you'd like a training on how to build your own? Drop a 🙋‍♀️ below and tell me what type of Skill you'd want!
