Hushtag for law offices · St. Albert, Edmonton and across Alberta
Lawyers, paralegals and assistants use ChatGPT to draft demand letters, summarize disclosure and tidy up correspondence. Hushtag swaps client and party names, addresses, dates of birth and court file numbers for hashtags before the AI sees them, then restores them in the answer.
First drafts from your notes, with every name restored at the end.
Summarize transcripts and documents without party names going out.
Tighten an email to opposing counsel or a client.
Build a chronology from a file without exposing the people in it.
Hushtag catches: Client and party names · company names · addresses · birth dates · court and case file numbers · phone numbers · email addresses · account numbers. Add your own client or patient list so every name is always hushed.
Lawyers in Alberta owe clients a duty of confidentiality under the Law Society of Alberta's Code of Conduct, and the Law Society has published guidance on using generative AI. Law firms are also organizations under Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) for the personal information they collect.
Hushtag reduces what reaches an AI tool: names, addresses and file numbers stay on your computer. It isn't legal or ethics advice and doesn't decide for you whether a given use is appropriate. Review the Law Society's guidance and your firm's own policy.
What does the Law Society of Alberta say? Its Generative AI Playbook says never to include confidential or potentially identifying information in prompts. Read our plain-language guide with sources and get the free one-page staff AI-use policy.
