Use cases

Draft client follow-ups with placeholders in place of client details.

Hushbridge swaps client names, contact details and case numbers on your device. The AI drafts the email. The real details come back when you read the answer.

The task

You have a client update to send. The facts are in your notes. You want a clear, polite draft in a few seconds, so your time goes to the advice itself.

The AI only needs the shape of the situation to write a good email. It does not need the client’s real name, phone number or docket number. Placeholders keep the relationships clear, so the draft still reads as one client, one matter and one deadline.

Before and after

We ran a fictional follow-up request through the Hushbridge engine with its legal profile. The right column is the engine’s real output, unedited.

Fictional example

What you start with

Draft a short follow-up email to our client Ms. Ellen Fairweather about the lease dispute.
Her email is ellen.fairweather@example.com and her phone is (415) 555-0142.
Case No. 2:25-cv-01742. The mediation has moved to next Thursday.
Ask her to send the signed engagement letter for Brightwater Holdings LLC before then.

What the AI receives

Draft a short follow-up email to our client Ms. [PERSON_1] about the lease dispute.
Her email is [EMAIL_1] and her phone is [PHONE_1].
Case No. [CASE_NUMBER_1]. The mediation has moved to next Thursday.
Ask her to send the signed engagement letter for [ORG_1] before then.

Restoring the placeholders on the device gave back the original text exactly in this run.

What you review before sending

  1. 1Read the protected text line by line. Every client, opposing party and witness name should be a placeholder.
  2. 2Look for matter names, nicknames and project code words. Add them to your always-protect list so they are swapped every time.
  3. 3Check the story around the names. A dispute type, a date and a place together can point to one client.
  4. 4Look at titles such as Ms. or Dr. They stay in the text and tell the AI something about the person.
  5. 5Check that your instructions still make sense with placeholders, for example "address [PERSON_1] by first name".
  6. 6Read the restored draft before it goes to the client. Placeholders the AI changed or dropped will not be restored.

Limits

  • Detection uses rules, checksums and name lists. It has no language model. A name with no cue, such as a title, a role or a label, can be missed. Add names you know matter to your always-protect list.
  • Context can still identify a client. In the example, "lease dispute" and "mediation next Thursday" stay in the text because they are not identifiers.
  • Company names are found when they end in a legal form such as LLC, Inc. or LLP. A trading name with no suffix needs your always-protect list.
  • The browser extension does not scan attachments. Paste the text you want help with into the prompt, and review it there.
  • A chat site's page can read text while you type it, before anything is swapped. For sensitive work, prepare the text in the free check first, then paste the protected version into the chat.
  • Addresses are found in US style only. Names written in non-Latin scripts are not covered.
  • Review before sending stays necessary. Hushbridge shows you what the AI will get. You decide whether it is safe to send.
