How to Create A Proper NDA in Minutes (with AI)
Your Lawyer Charges $500 for What AI Does in 30 Seconds
Hey Adopter,
Last week, a consultant friend paid $650 for a "custom" NDA. I ran it through an AI plagiarism checker. 87% matched a template available on LegalZoom for $39.
This isn't about replacing lawyers. It's about knowing when you're paying for expertise versus paying for copy-paste.
The $50,000 reality check
Here's what businesses spend on routine legal documents annually. Small businesses blow $7,000 to $15,000. Mid-size companies? $25,000 to $75,000. Enterprise clients don't even ask about price anymore. Ask yourself: “Do I still need a legal counsel on retainer? “

Here's a battle-tested prompt that generates NDAs as solid as what most lawyers produce for standard business situations:
