Neural networks, machine learning plus a chatbot - this is the recipe for a modern way to promote your business. While stores and technology/clothing brands are pushing chatbots across social networks and sending simple spam through them, lawyers from the Kyiv division of Axon Partners decided to use this technology in a purely work-oriented direction. They created a bot that helps IT companies create standard contracts.
The disappearance of professions due to automation and robotization are the main fears of opponents of the development of autonomous software systems and robotics. Of course, there is a grain of truth in their fears. Since where automatic production lines come, the need for low-skilled labor disappears. But at the same time, new specialties are emerging, in which you need to work with your head and not with your hands. Now automation has reached intellectual specialties. By mixing neural networks, machine learning and chatbots, we get the ideal cocktail for replacing humans in simple data operations. Of course, the law firm itself did not develop everything necessary for the bot to work, but used the services of Bot&Partners . They, in turn, used the mindmap platform of Andrey Khorsev and Alexey Ivankin storytelling.bot . And the finished bot, called BPbot , was launched into the Telegram and Facebook chat. However, the goals of developers and lawyers are quite mercantile. This bot can provide advice for free, but you will have to pay for drawing up an agreement (I wonder how many years from now we will get to the point where we will have to pay the bot a salary?..). After answering a few questions about the personal data of the parties and the product, you will be asked to pay for the services and a fresh “software development agreement” will be at your service. A template NDA is also provided free of charge along with the agreement. For now, the bot creates documents only in Ukrainian and in accordance with Ukrainian legislation. In the near future, the developers plan to add an English version that takes into account the laws of the United States (Delaware). And then they will begin to expand the range of contracts - they will add the sale of shares, the main terms of the transaction, and others. Development that is necessary and useful for our realities. But compared to foreign projects, Bpbot still looks pale. Take, for example, the development of the British entrepreneur Joshua Browder, the chatbot-lawyer DoNotPay. In 2016 alone, it helped users deal with 160 thousand parking fines. And this year, given the expansion of the coverage of countries and the increase in the legislative framework laid down in it, this figure will be even higher. And this is just one of the foreign examples - in fact, there are hundreds, if not thousands.
