Your publish.law site can now work with your AI assistant

Connect publish.law to Claude or ChatGPT and let it handle the website-admin part for you.

publish.law
publish.law announcement card: Introducing the AI connector, just ask your assistant.

If you already use Claude or ChatGPT during the day, your publish.law site can now meet you there.

That’s the whole idea.

Instead of opening a dashboard every time you want to update your bio, add a credential, publish a quick note, check what’s waiting, or clean up a draft, you can just ask your assistant.

“Add my new bar admission.”
“Post this note tomorrow morning.”
“What’s happened on my site this week?”
“Help me finish setting up my publish.law profile.”

It’s still your site. Your words. Your calls. The assistant just has a secure way to do the website-admin part for you.

This is not “AI lawyer.” It’s not a chatbot on your homepage. It’s not about outsourcing your judgment or having AI pretend to be you.

It’s publish.law doing what a modern professional website should do: getting out of your way.

What you can ask it to do

Start with the small stuff. That’s where this gets useful fast.

You can ask it to update your profile:

“Add my LinkedIn and firm bio links.”
“Update my headline to focus on appellate work.”
“Add my new court admission.”

Credentials on publish.law are references you choose to list. We don’t verify them, and the assistant shouldn’t invent them. It can help add, organize, and update them, but the substance is still yours.

You can ask it to publish and schedule Notes:

“Turn this into a short note and publish it.”
“Schedule this note for tomorrow morning.”
“Show me my recent notes about expert witnesses.”

Notes are included on every publish.law plan. They’re meant for the quick stuff: a thought, a link, a case you read, a short update, a useful resource.

You can ask it to catch you up:

“What happened on my site this week?”
“What comments or inquiries need attention?”
“What drafts did I leave unfinished?”

You can ask it to help with your Feed:

“Show me what the people I follow are posting.”
“Find some personal injury publishers worth following.”
“Unfollow the noisy ones.”

That’s one of my favorite uses, because it’s the kind of work that’s annoying in a normal interface. A dashboard is fine for clicking one Follow button. An assistant is better when you’re trying to build or clean up a reading list.

If you’re starting from zero

Ask:

“Help me finish setting up my publish.law site.”

The assistant can walk through your profile, links, credentials, photo, first note, and Feed setup. It should go one step at a time and confirm facts with you before saving them.

That’s the important part. This is not a machine filling the internet with generic lawyer copy. It’s a way to get your actual information and your actual writing into the right places with fewer clicks.

You can try it all out on the Free plan, no credit card required.

Free includes your public profile, credentials and links, Notes, Feed, and basic site/profile management. That’s enough to see whether this fits how you work.

Paid plans add the bigger pieces: custom domains, inquiries, long-form posts, pages, categories, and newsletter.

The assistant is there to reduce friction, not replace you

There’s an obvious bad version of this pitch: “Let AI write your legal content.”

That’s not what we’re building.

Your public voice should sound like you. Your notes should reflect what you actually think. Your credentials should be accurate because you chose them. Your site should be yours.

The assistant helps around the edges: publishing, scheduling, organizing, reviewing, updating, finding, and moving things where they belong.

You still decide what matters. You still review what goes out. You still own the words.

What it won’t do

Some things are off-limits on purpose.

Your assistant can’t touch billing. It can’t change your login email or password. And, it can’t delete your account.

Some work still belongs in the dashboard too: custom-domain setup, appearance, navigation, image uploads, newsletter settings, contact settings, imports, exports, and certain account controls.

If you ask for one of those, the assistant should point you to the right dashboard page instead of pretending it can do everything.

That’s the bargain: conversation for the work that makes sense in conversation, dashboard controls for the parts that need a screen or extra caution.

How access works

You don’t paste your publish.law password into chat.

You don’t copy a secret key.

You add the connector in your assistant, sign in to publish.law in the browser, and approve access. It works only on your own account.

You can remove access any time from publish.law under Settings → Integrations & Apps. That page shows apps signed in as you. Remove access there, and the assistant can no longer act on your site.

How to connect in Claude

Claude is the easiest place to try this today.

In Claude:

  1. Go to Customize → Connectors.

  2. Click the + button.

  3. Choose Add custom connector.

  4. Enter a name like publish.law.

  5. Use this URL: https://publish.law/mcp.

  6. Add it, then connect and sign in to publish.law when prompted.

  7. Start a new chat, enable the connector from the chat’s connector menu if needed, and ask it to help with your site.

Claude’s current docs say custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise. Free Claude users are limited to one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise, an owner may need to add the connector for the organization before individual users connect it.

How to connect in ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a little different right now.

OpenAI’s current docs say full support for apps like this, including the ability to make changes, is rolling out in beta on ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, and Edu on the web. So if you’re using a personal ChatGPT plan, Claude is probably the easier place to start today.

If your ChatGPT workspace has custom apps turned on, the setup is still pretty simple:

  1. Go to the place in ChatGPT where your workspace lets you add a custom app.

  2. Name the app publish.law.

  3. When ChatGPT asks for an endpoint or server URL, enter: https://publish.law/mcp.

  4. If ChatGPT asks you to scan or review the available actions, do that.

  5. When publish.law asks you to sign in, sign in and approve access.

  6. Start a new chat, choose publish.law from the tools or apps menu, and ask it to help with your site.

ChatGPT may ask you to confirm actions, especially when the assistant is about to change something. That’s expected.

Once publish.law is available through ChatGPT’s plugin/app directory, this should get simpler: open the listing, click Connect, sign in to publish.law, approve access, and use it in a conversation.

For now, plain English: Claude is easiest for individual attorneys. ChatGPT works if your workspace has the current custom app beta turned on.

Why we built it

Because if your assistant is already where you think through work, your website should not require a separate ritual for every small update.

A public profile gets stale one tiny skipped update at a time. A note doesn’t get published because it means opening another tab. A draft sits there because finishing it feels like a chore. A credential waits three months because it’s not urgent enough to go hunting through settings.

None of that is hard. It’s just friction.

publish.law is the professional website your assistant can actually help run.

Not an AI lawyer. Not a content mill. Just your site, your public presence, and a much easier way to keep it alive.

Try it on the Free plan. Add a credential. Publish a note. Ask what needs attention.

Then tell me where it helped and where it got in the way. That’s what this beta is for.
