Voice-Activated Productivity Assistant for Legal Professionals

I'm looking for a skilled developer to create a functional prototype of a voice-activated productivity assistant specifically designed for legal professionals. This tool should enhance productivity through seamless voice commands.

Scope of Work (SOW) for AI-Powered Voice Assistant Development
 
Project Title: Voice-Activated Legal Productivity Assistant (MVP Build)
Client: Seamus R. Mahoney, Attorney at Law
Location: Saint Paul, Minnesota
Prepared Date: [Insert Date]

 
 
Overview
 
This project involves developing a functional prototype of a voice-activated productivity assistant tailored for legal professionals. The tool must allow the user to dictate messages, emails, and letters, integrate with ChatGPT (via OpenAI API), read back drafts aloud, and send via Gmail or Outlook. It should also support to-do list/task entry using natural voice commands.

 

Key Goals
• Automate communication tasks via voice (text, email, letters)
• Use GPT to clean up and polish voice-dictated text
• Confirm intent before sending (read-back step)
• Integrate with existing tools (Apple Mail, Gmail, Outlook, Apple Reminders, etc.)
• Allow simple expansion into other legal software later (e.g., Clio)

 
 
Core Features to Build
1. Voice Capture
o Dictation via Siri, microphone, or Whisper (open source acceptable)
o Real-time or near-real-time text output
2. GPT Integration
o Pass transcribed input to OpenAI (ChatGPT/GPT-4 Turbo)
o Apply predefined prompts to format as professional emails or letters
3. Read-Back Confirmation
o Speak the generated draft aloud and ask for user confirmation
o If confirmed: send via email/text
o If denied: edit or restart
4. Email Integration
o Send via user’s Gmail or Outlook account (OAuth-secured)
o Optionally allow subject line and recipient control via voice
5. To-Do List Integration
o “Add to my to-do list…” voice commands
o Store in Apple Reminders or another specified task app
6. UI (if applicable)
o Simple interface for review/edit/resend
o Can be Shortcut-based, web-based, or mobile prototype

 
 
Tech Stack (Preferred, but Flexible)
• Language: Python, Swift, or JavaScript (Node or React Native)
• OpenAI API for GPT-4 or GPT-4 Turbo
• Email API: Gmail (Google API), Microsoft Graph (Outlook)
• Voice: Apple Dictation, Whisper, or other
• Task Sync: Apple Reminders API or Google Tasks
• Platforms: iOS/macOS preferred for Phase 1 (Web or Android optional)

 

Deliverables
• Working prototype (MVP) that accepts voice input, generates polished message, and sends it
• Source code (with IP assigned to client)
• Documentation (installation, config, and usage)
• Optional: deployment via iOS Shortcut or simple iPhone app
• Testing support and one round of post-delivery bug fixes

 
 
Timeline
• Start Date: [Insert Preferred Start Date]
• Completion Target: 3–5 weeks from start date
• Weekly updates/check-ins expected

 
 
Budget Range
• Estimated project budget: $5,000 – 10000
• milestone-based
• Bonus available for early delivery or added polish

 
 
Ownership & Confidentiality
• All code and materials will be owned by the Client under a Work-for-Hire IP assignment agreement
• NDA must be signed prior to full disclosure of technical details
• Developer agrees not to reuse or resell the code or workflows developed under this project

 
 
Ideal Developer
• Strong experience with voice-to-text and AI integrations
• Past work using OpenAI API (ChatGPT)
• Familiarity with iOS or macOS development and Apple Shortcuts
• Experience integrating with Gmail, Outlook, and task managers
• Legal or professional productivity app experience is a bonus
