Patent Bots in Action: Gen AI Drafting

When it comes to drafting a patent with AI, Patent Bots takes a unique approach. Instead of one tool, Prep & Pros Pro gives you three distinct ways to draft, each suited to a different part of the process. Watch the overview below, then read on for a closer look at each.

Saved Gen AI Prompts

Some sections of a patent application come up in every draft: the title, the background, the summary. Patent Bots includes a library of pre-written Gen AI prompts built for exactly these recurring drafting tasks.

You're not limited to the built-in library, either. Your firm or company can add organization-specific prompts so every attorney on the team drafts these sections the same way. And you can save your own prompts to match your individual style, so the tool adapts to how you write instead of the other way around.

Gen AI Chat

For the sections that don't follow a template, Patent Bots offers a Gen AI Chat built directly into the Word add-in. The AI assistant uses your patent text as context, and you can attach supplemental documents, like an invention disclosure or prior art, to give the AI even more to work with. 

Ask it to draft claims, suggest language, or answer a drafting question, then insert the output directly into your document with one click. The assistant will also proactively suggest next steps based on where you are in the draft.

Rules-Based Generation

Not every drafting task needs generative AI. For sections like the abstract, the brief description of the figures, or PowerPoint and Visio flowcharts, Patent Bots uses rules-based generation to repurpose text you've already written. Because it's rules-based rather than generative, the output is consistent and predictable every time.

Three tools, one drafting workflow

Saved prompts for the sections you write every time. Gen AI Chat for the parts that need more exploration and judgment. Rules-based generation for routine sections. Together, they cover the full range of patent drafting, without asking you to change how you work.
