Immediate Release2023 November 22

Ontario, Canada: Success.Legal, a leading web-application development company, and its sub-brand Marketing.Legal, serving law firms and paralegals, is excited to announce significant enhancements to our AI Bot, ‘Ernie’.  Known for his user-friendly persona, Ernie now boasts new capabilities that will transform how legal professionals can interact with technology and market their businesses.

Key Upgrades to Ernie

1. Increased Throughput: Ernie's capacity has been expanded to handle hundreds-of-thousands more monthly prompts and responses, up to 64X longer prompts for Admins, and 4X longer prompts for standard users; ensuring smoother and more efficient interactions.
2. Enhanced Response Time: Leveraging the latest advancements from OpenAI, Ernie will be more patient, and will allow more time for OpenAI responses.  This means users can expect more sophisticated and nuanced answers to complex prompts.
3. Recursive Learning: Ernie now fine-tunes himself; improving his ability to sequence OpenAI prompts in scenarios such as generating a webpage, then proposing a summary/synopsis, title, and relevant headlines; while also attending to user-market localization, including such minutiae as ensuring that vernacular follows Canadian-UK spelling of English words and titles are formatted in accordance with the APA standard, all whilst doing so in keeping with the always evolving best practices of search-engine optimization.
4. User-Centric Prompt History: Each user’s interactions with Ernie will now be uniquely retained and accessible across the Success.Legal ecosystem.  This personalized history moves with users across various platforms in the Success.Legal ecosystem, enhancing continuity and user experience.  Each user can securely archive their conversation threads with Ernie, and perform keyword searches upon threads at a later time, restore/repeat tasks, or repurpose a same or similar (tweaked) task instantly into another Success.Legal ecosystem utility.  Certainly, even more advantages will arise as epiphanies ignite.
