Our docs are free, released under creative comments, have been downloaded more than 17,000 times and used to close millions of dollars worth of deals.

Else, was going to turn to the GPTs and see what they may muster, but any even general direction pointers would be appreciated?
I think with legal docs generally, you have to decide what the stakes are and act accordingly. In general, keep in mind that most lawyers won't take a case unless there's someone with deep pockets to sue. So for that $20k loan you give to a friend, a boilerplate template is fine; if they don't want to pay you back, a lawsuit is gonna cost you more than the loan anyway. You've got a new startup for website monitoring with 20 customers? Worry about growing your userbase, not the remote chance that you get sued and something in the boilerplate docs you used wasn't worded properly (of course, once you raise significant money or have significant revenue, those legal docs become much more important, and also this doesn't apply if you are working on something with significant risk, such as a medical device).
But child custody isn't one of those things. It is high stakes, the chances that your counterparty will sue you are very high, and a bad outcome might be one of the worst things that can happen to you. Personally, the possibility of losing custody of my children would be much more worrying to me than any financial lawsuit.
Maybe thats a poor example - but forms help thats not spammy, but also not "starting a business related"
Legal resources online all seem so "Better Call Saul" quality. Like going to a used car lot.
The pockets that fund this behavior will be empty at some point. But until then, primal irrational impulses are running the show.
In a case like that, the difference between the right legal docs and the mostly right docs would be huge.

this seems ripe for disaster. hopefully, you weren't serious. as with all things, I'd really hope anything in the realm of legal documents from GPT would be then consulted with an actual lawyer
I just want to ensure that documents are formatted properly... that was all.

Out of interest, is that a permanent(ish) decision, or are you intending to use that as a spring board, eventually aiming for industry-agnostic?
Thanks
Some of our agreements, like the NDA, are already used in other industries since they are more industry agnostic
