The Challenge
"We Needed AI, But We Couldn't Risk It"Like many legal firms, [Firm Name] faced a productivity problem:
- Junior associates spent hours drafting routine documents
- Partners needed faster case law research
- Support staff handled repetitive client communications
Public AI tools like ChatGPT could solve these problems—but using them with client files violated privilege and confidentiality rules.
The Question: _"How do we get AI productivity gains without exposing client data to OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google?"_---
What They Couldn't Do (Before Block Box)
❌ Upload client documents to ChatGPT for drafting ❌ Use AI for contract review (client names, terms exposed) ❌ Paste case details into public AI for research assistance ❌ Automate client communications with third-party AI chatbots
Compliance Risk: Every upload to public AI = potential breach of professional privilege---
The Solution: Block Box AI
Private, Australian-Hosted AIBlock Box AI deployed a private AI environment for [Firm Name]:
✅ Hosted in Sydney (data never leaves Australia) ✅ 5 AI models (ChatGPT GPT-4, Grok, Deepseek, Mistral + 1) ✅ Microsoft 365 integration (works within their existing workflow) ✅ Unlimited usage (no per-query fees or throttling) ✅ 4-day setup (from contract to go-live)
Key Difference: Client data is processed on private infrastructure. No third-party AI company ever sees the files.---

FAQ: Legal Firms & Block Box AI
Q: Can we use Block Box with client privileged communications?A: Yes. Block Box is hosted on your private infrastructure. Client privilege is maintained because no third party (including Blockstars) accesses the content processed by the AI.
Q: How is this different from Microsoft Copilot?A: Microsoft Copilot uses your Microsoft 365 data but is still limited to Microsoft's AI models. Block Box gives you 5 models (including ChatGPT GPT-4, Grok, and others) and is hosted entirely in Australia.
Q: What if we already use ChatGPT or Claude?A: Many firms use public AI for non-confidential work (research, marketing copy) but can't use it for client files. Block Box fills that gap—giving you AI for confidential work without data risk.
Q: Do we need IT staff to manage Block Box?A: No. We handle all infrastructure, updates, and model management. Your team just uses the web interface (similar to ChatGPT).
Q: Can we integrate Block Box with our practice management software?A: Currently, Block Box integrates with Microsoft 365. Custom integrations (LEAP, Smokeball, etc.) are possible via our Superstars custom workflow service.
