I am defending a case against a Mexican grocery store for a slip and fall. (She is on video looking at her phone when she tripped over a box on the floor. New items were being shelved but the employee walked away for a second.)
Anyway, I did insurance defense for years, so I can do these depositions in my sleep. I now mostly do Plaintiff cases, but this client had a glitch with insurance, so I've had to step in as a defense lawyer again. But I wanted to check what AI would do.
I input the complaint, her discovery responses, the video, her medical records, etc. into Google Gemini (paid version - deep thinking mode.) I asked it:

I represent the defendant, a hispanic grocery store. The plaintiff claims to have slipped and fell on a pallet or stack items to be shelved. The video and screenshot show she was on her phone at the time. Also, she provided pictures of a huge cut on her leg that apparently she is trying to claim was caused by the fall, but her medical records do not. Draft a deposition outline for the defense attorney, covering her background, litigation history, recall of the accident, medical history and medical and bills relating to the alleged fall. Include detailed questions about the incident.
I have a standard depo outline I've used for decades in these types of cases. It lacked the detail of that, but it was exceptional at pulling out all the dates, names, etc.. - basically all of the facts that I would have to review the file and pull out. Saved me hours of prep time.
The deposition was taken via Zoom and I have 3 monitors. I kept the Gemini thread up on one monitor and during the deposition, I was able to input her answers and it would generate additional questions and ideas based upon its "memory" of all the documents.
I also have an A.I. app on my phone that transcribes and summarizes the conversation real-time. Truly a game changer. It's like having an experienced legal secretary or associate with you at the deposition.
