Aamiainen in-house-juristeille 10.9. | AI-agentti sopimusneuvotteluissa | Bind Tervetuloa aamiaiselle kokemaan, miten tekoäly muuttaa in-house-lakitiimien arkea juuri nyt. Kuinka pitkälle AI-agentti pystyy viemään sopimusneuvottelun? Vastaus muuttuu jatkuvasti, joten näytämme livenä missä mennään tällä hetkellä. Näet demossa, miten agentti käy vastapuolen luonnoksen läpi ja tekee muutokset perustellen jokaisen kohdan ja merkitsemällä kohdat, johon tarvitaan juristin näkemystä. Lisäksi näet, mitä tapahtuu neuvottelun ympärillä: miten uusi sopimus ohjautuu oikealle ihmiselle, miten hyväksynnät toimivat ja miten allekirjoitetut sopimukset säilytetään hyödyllisesti. Bind on in-house-tiimien päivittäisessä käytössä Suomessa ja maailmalla, ja tilaisuuden vetää perustaja ja toimitusjohtaja Aku Pöllänen, joten voit kysyä ihan mitä vain, myös sitä mikä ei vielä toimi. Paikkoja on rajoitetusti, joten vahvistathan osallistumisesi ilmoittautumalla. Voit ottaa mukaan myös kollegan, lisää hänen tietonsa ilmoittautumisen yhteydessä tarjoiluja varten. Tervetuloa!
