Deploying a Sandstone Legal Slack-bot

How to deploy a Sandstone Slack bot

Introduction

The Sandstone Legal Slackbot acts as an extension of your legal team. It is designed to handle routine questions and tasks from business stakeholders, freeing the legal team to focus on higher-value strategic work.

Key Features

1. Integration with Your Tech Stack

  • Connects with your existing technology and data sources.
  • Supports uploading of policies, templates, documentation, and guidelines.
  • Leverages these resources to provide accurate and consistent answers.

2. Document Drafting Capabilities

  • The Slackbot can be enabled to draft legal documents.
  • Example: A sales representative requests an urgent NDA through Slack.
    • Normally, the request lacks sufficient detail.
    • Sandstone’s natural language validation form engages the employee in conversation to gather the required inputs.
    • Once complete, the bot auto-generates a properly populated NDA template.

3. Conversational Validation

  • Replaces traditional form-based systems.
  • Collects missing data interactively through natural language dialogue.
  • Ensures all necessary details are captured before document generation.

4. Visibility and Oversight

  • Every Slack interaction is automatically logged as a card in the Sandstone Legal Operating System.
  • This provides:
    • Full visibility into requests, questions, and responses.
    • A record for auditing and tracking.
    • The ability for the legal team to intervene and provide guidance when needed.

Benefits

  • Efficiency: Automates repetitive queries and requests.
  • Accuracy: Pulls from up-to-date templates and policies.
  • Transparency: Maintains a log of all interactions.
  • Scalability: Handles high volumes of routine legal questions.

Summary

The Sandstone Legal Slackbot is a powerful tool that:

  • Automates responses to business stakeholders.
  • Drafts documents through interactive validation.
  • Provides legal teams with visibility into all requests.

By integrating with your systems and logging interactions in the Sandstone platform, the Slackbot ensures your legal team stays informed while reducing the burden of daily operational queries.
