How Spellbook would pitch themselves

● Editorial
01Target customer

Solo + small-firm attorneys (1-50 lawyers) who work in Microsoft Word and can't afford $50K/year Harvey contracts.

02Problem they solve

Harvey + Ironclad are built for big-law BigCo budgets. Solo + small firms = 80% of attorneys but ignored by AI tooling. Generic GPT-4 isn't legal-aware enough.

03Key differentiator

Native Microsoft Word add-in (no workflow change). Legal-tuned LLM trained on contracts. Pricing fits solo/small firms ($300-2K/month) β€” Harvey is $50K+/year.

04Go-to-market strategy

Bottom-up product-led growth (free trial in Word). Bar-association partnerships. Strong online demos + content marketing on TikTok-style 'how a lawyer uses AI' clips.
