Scribe Review: Artificial Intelligence for Lawyers

Automatic process capture

Scribe captures a user’s workflow and turns it into a step-by-step guide. This can help small firms document routine work such as opening a matter, saving documents, processing intake forms, preparing invoices, or using firm software. The tool is useful when staff know how to do something but the firm has not written the process down. Each guide should still be reviewed before being used for training or client instructions.

SOPs and training materials

Scribe can help create SOPs, training guides, tutorials, and manuals. For small law firms, this can support onboarding, delegation, and consistency across staff. Instead of writing instructions from scratch, a user can complete the process once and then edit the automatically generated guide. This is especially helpful for administrative workflows that repeat often.

Sharing, embedding, and exporting

Scribe guides can be shared by link, embedded in other tools, or exported in formats such as PDF, HTML, and Markdown on paid plans. This makes it easier to place process documentation where staff already work, such as internal knowledge bases, wikis, help centers, or training systems. Small firms can use this to centralize instructions without rebuilding their documentation system from scratch. Firms should decide who can view, edit, and share guides before using Scribe broadly.

Redaction and security controls

Scribe includes screenshot editing and redaction tools, with more advanced redaction and governance features available on higher-tier plans. This matters for law firms because captured workflows may include client names, matter details, billing information, or other sensitive data. Scribe’s security page describes SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, encryption, privacy controls, and AI provider restrictions. Firms should still avoid capturing privileged or confidential information unless their plan, settings, and firm policies support that use.

Attorneys seeking to document steps and processes within their firm will find Scribe helpful.
