When AI is (and isn't) involved


When we first created the Creative Law Foundry™, it was designed to give creatives the tools they needed to customize their contracts themselves.

But we realized something important — the tools alone aren’t enough if you don’t have the education to understand them.

So, last month, we added our entire education library to every Creative Law Foundry™ membership.

Then, we took it a step further by adding contract credits too.

Because the real power comes when you have both:
👉 the knowledge to know what you need, and
👉 the contracts and tools to put that knowledge into action.

Whether you’re onboarding clients, protecting your content, or hiring help, you shouldn’t have to figure it out on your own.

The Creative Law Foundry™ bridges the gap between why and how, because no one has time for guessing when it comes to protecting your business.

Two Minute Tip: Don't let AI write your contract

AI is amazing. But when it comes to legal protection, “amazing” doesn’t always mean “accurate.” Just ask Anthropic.

Earlier this year, one of Anthropic’s own lawyers had to apologize in court after their AI tool, Claude, generated a completely fake legal citation... and the attorney used it. The judge caught it. The citation? A hallucination. Totally made up. [Read the story here.]

These hallucinations happen all the time, because AI is designed to predict what a human might say next, not to provide the facts.

We’re sharing it because it proves something we’ve been saying since day one:

AI can be a powerful tool but it’s not a replacement for a real contract, written by a practicing attorney.

And definitely not something you should blindly trust to protect your business.

Wait... doesn’t the Creative Law Foundry™ use AI?

Yep, we sure do. Here is when we do, and don't use AI in our platform:

  • AI doesn’t write your contract. Every word of every contract in the Creative Law Foundry™ was written by attorney Paige Hulse, who has stood before a judge defending these contracts. That’s not something any AI model (or ChatGPT prompt) can promise.
  • Our Contract Builder = lawyer-drafted language, crafted with triggers and automation. Think of this as a massive (400+ step) workflow. Each answer you provide 'triggers' a piece of your contract. No AI needed.
  • AskLex = your legal guide, not your contract writer. AskLex is our AI-powered legal assistant that helps you understand legal terms, answer quick contract questions, and navigate the law in plain English. It’s like having a translator in your back pocket. But let's be clear, AskLex is not used to write your contract.

One of our Black Friday bonuses is still up for debate. Make your voice heard!

With you for the long run,

- Paige & Teresa

Dubsado team + Key Partners at Partner Collab Day

Last week, Dubsado flew 28 of their key partners to their HQ in LA for their first ever Partner Collaboration Day. And because we are Dubsado Ambassadors, I made the list! While this event was part birthday celebration (Dubsado turns 10 this year), part user feedback collection, part real talk about what it actually looks like to run a business right now... I was most excited to meet and learn from a team who has self-funded their software and grown it to 30,000+ users. Between the welcome...

Have you ever said something so many times that you forget someone out there hasn't heard it yet? I had that moment this week. Yesterday, one of my business besties (and one of our amazing affiliates), asked how to incorporate legal education and *her affiliate code* into her program helping freelancers land more clients on sites like Upwork. Well, I rattled off the four agreements all business owners need and why... And then promptly remembered that most business owners don't have the luxury...

It's not to late to join us for a members-only Live Q&A with founder and lead attorney, Paige Hulse J.D. Tomorrow at 3pm CST we're hosting a real-time legal check-in for creative business owners in the Creative Law Foundry™.

If you’ve been on the fence about...
