Can You Write it on a Napkin?

Successful people in nearly every field share one key ability: the skill to convey complex ideas in simple, intuitive visuals. Whether it’s strategic consultants mapping out corporate transformations or unicorn startup founders sketching billion-dollar business models on napkins, the ability to simplify and communicate ideas visually is critical.

For example, consultants often work on multifaceted issues that span across an entire organization. They use visuals like flowcharts or business models to make sure stakeholders quickly grasp key points. Similarly, startup founders have famously used nothing more than napkins to sketch out the core of their groundbreaking ideas—ideas that go on to secure massive investments and change industries.

Lawyers, on the other hand, are notorious for being terrible at visuals. Sure, we can write persuasive briefs, draft airtight contracts, and deliver deep legal analysis. But many people don’t have the time or patience for lengthy legal memos or multi-page reports. They want us to cut to the chase, and they often struggle to engage with or even understand the depth of our written analysis.

Enter Napkin AI, a revolutionary tool that transforms raw ideas into clear, professional visuals in seconds—without any need for PowerPoint, Illustrator, Photoshop, or design skills of any kind. Lawyers can now instantly turn legal arguments, case strategies, and complex case timelines into intuitive visuals as soon as they summarize their thoughts.

How Napkin AI Works for Lawyers

Napkin AI is as simple as it is powerful. You don’t need to be a designer; you only need to summarize your ideas. The AI will do the rest by turning your thoughts into well-structured diagrams, flowcharts, or timelines, ready for presentation.

Here’s how it works and how you can integrate Napkin AI into your legal practice:

1. Streamlining Legal Strategies

As a lawyer, you often need to lay out a strategy, whether it’s for a case, contract negotiation, or compliance audit. Instead of writing pages of notes, use Napkin AI to break down your strategy visually. For example, outline the key steps of a case: “Discovery,” “Motions,” “Trial,” and the AI will create a visual roadmap that you can quickly modify or present to clients and colleagues.

2. Visualizing Legal Arguments

Napkin AI can turn your legal arguments into a visual presentation, breaking down each argument into its core components. This is particularly helpful in litigation when you need to ensure that you’re addressing every angle while helping clients or juries understand the flow of your case.

3. Creating Timelines for Litigation

Timelines are essential in many legal situations, especially in litigation where establishing when events occurred is critical. Napkin AI lets you map out these events in a visual format, making it easy to display the sequence of important moments in the case. You can instantly create timelines for internal review or as a visual aid during client meetings or in court.

4. Simplifying Complex Transactions

Lawyers working on corporate transactions or mergers and acquisitions can use Napkin AI to create clear, visual overviews of deal structures. Rather than sending clients dozens of pages of documents, you can offer a high-level visual that maps out how the deal will unfold, making it easier for stakeholders to grasp important aspects quickly.

5. Collaborating with Teams

Legal work often involves collaboration, whether between partners, associates, or clients. With Napkin AI, everyone can easily see how different pieces of a case or deal fit together. The tool enables real-time collaboration, making it easier to ensure that nothing is missed and allowing for immediate feedback.
