#384: Building Better Systems for Your Law Firm with Jason Ebbens

You were talking about coding.

And one of the things that you worked on some code, I think, to set up an automation to you have this almost like a accountability email that or post Slack message that goes out every morning.

But it was hard to you to manually do it every single day.

And it was interesting.

Everybody that's a producer in the firm has hourly billable standards, really.

And so they know what those are.

And there's some positive pressure that gets created because every morning for the previous day, it'll post where everybody stood, right? Actually, now I'm thinking of a second thing I want you to comment on.

But we'll start with the coding.

Will you explain what you did so that you don't ever have to touch that again?

I went into Claude and I gave it a good prompt.

Because again, garbage in, garbage out.

I don't put garbage in.

I gave every detail that I wanted to happen.

From pull this number from this area on this spreadsheet and calculate this and then do this.

And it actually goes into Clio itself and pulls out the numbers.

So I don't even have to look at them.

And it puts it in that spreadsheet that I had created that I was manually doing every day.

does it automatically.

And then it takes those numbers and posts it for everybody to see in Slack.

And it has like a stoplight type tier system.

You know, red light, you're over an hour under your goal, you know, to date, you know, on average.

And then there's yellow, you're within the hour, but...

Your daily average.

Your daily average, yes.

And then green is, you're good.
