Other Solo prison law attorney seeking ChatGPT tools, connectors and plugins to stay organized and catch up (ADHD, no staff)
I'm a solo plaintiff's attorney handling prison law and civil rights cases. I currently have 30 cases (about 10 of them active lawsuits) and no staff. I’m significantly behind, and I have ADHD, so organization and prioritization are a constant struggle.
Current setup: I’m on an Apple iMac and using Apple Notes, Dropbox, and Drive. I’m using Apple Notes for case notes, call notes, etc. Notes are not separated by case, security and reliable backups are weak, and I’m drowning in the volume of calls, emails, mail, and discovery.
I’m looking for Chatgpt, plugins, or practical workflows that can help with the following:
Case Management & Organization - One secure, easily accessible place/folder per case that holds all related case notes, call notes, and meeting notes. - Track everything happening in each case (tasks, status, next steps). - Automatic deadline tracking based on filing date or receipt date. - Daily task/to-do list prioritized by urgency, plus a clear daily schedule view. - Stronger security and reliable backups than Apple Notes.
Prison Legal Calls or General Meetings - Scheduling calls. - Creating and sending confirmation documents/emails. - Adding calls to the calendar. - Capturing notes and automatically filing them in the correct case folder. - Extracting action items/tasks from the call notes and moving them to the to-do list. - Automatically drafting follow-up emails or mail using key points from the call notes.
Legal Mail - Reading and analyzing incoming legal mail. - Drafting replies.
Discovery - Sorting through discovery materials. - Organizing, cataloging, and analyzing them.
Intake & Volume of Communications - Handling a high volume of calls and emails from clients and potential clients. - Automated creation of a representation agreement once the necessary intake information is collected.
Priorities: Data security matter a lot. Solutions that reduce manual work, are relatively low-friction (ADHD-friendly), and can help a solo practitioner catch up would be ideal. Apple ecosystem compatibility is a plus but not required if something else is clearly better. (Updating my computer system in next month or so and thinking I’ll be leaving Apple for office computer at least)
I was seeing online about creating my own executive assistant agent, AI chief of staff w/AI workforce, life dashboard, second brain, and daily and weekly review agent. They all sound great but I’m just now learning how to really use AI so I’m unsure what would be best and how to actually create these.
What ChatGPT tools, plugins, or stacks would you recommend for this? Any specific setups that have worked well for others dealing with similar complex needs and organizational challenges? Also, any instructions or explanations on how to create the ideal system(s) I need?
Thanks in advance.

Oddly enough, you could drop this exact post into ChatGPT as a prompt and ask it to design your system. I recommend starting small by automating specific workflows, rather than starting everything together.
Given the sensitivity of your job and the data you manage, I recommend you see a professional consultant. There are significant risks of data leakage/ exposure with improper use of ai tools
