The Lawyer’s Guide to using ChatGPT with Microsoft 365 (2026 Edition)

One assistant, the whole Microsoft 365 stack — demonstrated live.

ChatGPT is OpenAI’s powerful AI assistant, and it works across the Microsoft 365 applications legal professionals rely on — Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Excel. This webinar shows how to put it to work through many live demonstrations, opening with the fundamentals: features, benefits, data security, comparisons to other AI assistants, and the ChatGPT Add-in.

The demonstrations track a lawyer’s actual output. In Word, summarize, draft, compare, edit, and format contracts, briefs, memos, and other legal documents. In Outlook, work with inbox items. In Excel, manage legal data, create reports, calculate data, and create charts. In PowerPoint, create and edit presentations and insert images. Beyond the desktop, run web and other queries, work with PDFs, extract data, and create documents.

The program also builds effective prompting skills — tips and best practices — and shows ChatGPT assisting with basic legal research while recognizing the need to verify authorities. Attendees leave able to ask questions, analyze information, and generate recommendations with an assistant that spans the whole Microsoft 365 stack.
