Privacy & Safety
Hallucination
AI can confidently produce wrong information. Always verify important facts, numbers, and claims before acting on them or sharing with clients. Treat every AI output as a strong first draft that needs your professional review.
What Never to Share
Never input: client account numbers, tax IDs, patient records, social security numbers, privileged legal communications, passwords, or confidential financial data into any public AI tool including the free tiers of ChatGPT and Claude.
What's New — 2026
AI tools are updating fast. Here are the most important recent changes to ChatGPT and Claude that affect how your team should be using them.
ChatGPT — GPT-5.3 / GPT-5.4
Free tier now runs on GPT-5.3 Instant
Free users now default to GPT-5.3 Instant — a strong everyday model — with GPT-5.4 mini available as a fallback via the Thinking feature. GPT-5.4 Thinking, the current flagship reasoning model, remains on paid tiers (Plus, Pro, Team, Enterprise).
Mar 2026
ChatGPT — GPT-5.4
GPT-5.4 Thinking: the new flagship reasoning model
Released in March 2026 for paid tiers (Plus, Pro, Team, Enterprise), GPT-5.4 Thinking brings together reasoning, coding, and agentic capabilities. It can show an upfront plan of its thinking and accept mid-response steering. For contract review, long-document analysis, and complex planning, it produces significantly better results than GPT-5.3 Instant.
Mar 2026
ChatGPT — Memory
Memory now remembers your business across sessions
ChatGPT Plus now remembers key facts about you and your work across all conversations. Enable it in Settings → Personalization → Memory. Tell it your firm name, role, and preferences once — it applies that context to every future conversation automatically.
2026
Claude — Sonnet 4.6
1 million token context window now on the free tier
Claude Sonnet 4.6 — the default model on claude.ai's free tier since February 2026 — can process up to 1 million tokens (roughly 750,000 words or 1,500 pages) in a single conversation. For law firms reviewing large contract sets or accountants processing multi-year records, this is a significant capability leap at no cost.
Feb 2026
Claude — Sonnet 4.6
Claude now available inside Microsoft 365 Copilot
As of March 2026, Microsoft 365 Copilot users can access the latest Claude Sonnet model directly inside their Office apps. If your firm uses Microsoft 365, you may already have access to Claude through Copilot without a separate subscription.
Mar 2026
Claude — Opus 4.7
Anthropic's new flagship model is now available
Claude Opus 4.7 launched in April 2026 as Anthropic's most capable generally available model, with major gains in reasoning, vision (high-resolution image support), and long-horizon agentic work. Available on Claude Pro and through the API. For complex analysis, advanced document work, and high-stakes writing, Opus 4.7 is the top-tier option. Sonnet 4.6 remains the free-tier default.
Apr 2026
Claude — Projects
Projects remember your firm across every session
Claude Pro's Projects feature lets you store permanent context — your firm name, practice areas, tone preferences, and common tasks. Every new conversation starts with Claude already knowing who you are and how you work. Set it up once in claude.ai under Projects.
2025–2026

Frequently Asked Questions
❓
▼
Which AI tool should I start with?
Start with ChatGPT — it has the widest adoption, the gentlest learning curve, and the free tier now runs on GPT-5.3 Instant, a strong everyday model. Once you're comfortable with ChatGPT, add Claude as your second tool for writing-heavy tasks and long document work — Claude Sonnet 4.6 is also free. If your firm is on Microsoft 365, also explore Copilot inside Outlook and Word.
❓
▼
What if AI gives me a wrong answer?
This is called hallucination and it happens with all AI tools. Always treat AI output as a first draft. Verify numbers, facts, legal interpretations, and claims before acting on them or sharing them with clients. The more specific your prompt, the more accurate the results tend to be.
❓
▼
Is it safe to use AI for client work?
Yes for general business communications and non-sensitive drafting. Never enter actual client identifying information, account numbers, financial data, or privileged communications into any public AI tool. For firms with strict confidentiality requirements, ChatGPT Enterprise or a private deployment is available. When in doubt, treat AI tools like a knowledgeable contractor who shouldn't see confidential files.
❓
▼
How do I get better results from AI?
Use the Role + Goal + Format formula every time. Tell AI who it is, what you need it to do, and how you want the output structured. The more specific your prompt, the better your result. If the first response isn't right, tell it what to change — you don't need to start over. For important work, try the same prompt in both ChatGPT and Claude and take the best response.
❓
▼
Do I need to pay for ChatGPT or Claude?
Both tools have strong free tiers — GPT-5.3 Instant for ChatGPT and Sonnet 4.6 for Claude. For daily professional use, the paid tiers ($20/month each) unlock the flagship reasoning models (GPT-5.4 Thinking and Claude Opus 4.7), along with significantly higher usage limits, file uploads, and additional features. Start free and upgrade when you hit the limits or need the top-tier models.
