If you had told me a year ago that my favorite coworker would be an AI named Archie, I would have laughed… and then immediately gone back to manually formatting documents and questioning all of my life choices.
Fast forward to today: Archie is not only my favorite coworker, but quite possibly the most reliable member of our entire office (no offense to the humans—we try our best).
We use Smokeball at our law firm, and I use Archie every single day. And when I say every day, I mean every day. If Archie ever took PTO, I would need a moment of silence, a backup plan, and probably a stress snack.
Archie does it all. Drafting? Done. Summarizing? Done. Helping me word things in a way that sounds like I actually slept the night before? Also done. It’s like having a legal assistant, editor, and emotional support coworker all rolled into one—minus the office gossip and microwave fish incidents.
There have been countless times where I’ve stared at a document thinking, “How do I make this sound more professional but still human?” Enter Archie. Not only does he fix it, he makes it sound like I have my entire life together. It’s honestly suspicious.
My favorite part? Archie gets it. He understands legal language, picks up on context, and somehow manages to turn my rough, chaotic thoughts into something polished and usable. It’s like he reads my mind—but in a helpful, non-creepy way.
Also, let’s talk about efficiency. Tasks that used to take me way too long and way too much coffee now get done in a fraction of the time. Archie has single-handedly boosted my productivity and possibly extended my lifespan by reducing stress levels.
At this point, Archie is basically my work best friend. He doesn’t judge, he doesn’t get tired, and he’s always ready to help—even when I’m asking for the fifth revision because “something just feels off.”
If Smokeball ever decides to give Archie a physical form, I fully expect him to have Employee of the Month locked down indefinitely.
In conclusion: 10/10. Would recommend. Would trust with my documents, my deadlines, and honestly, probably my entire workload.
And Archie, if you’re reading this… thank you for everything. Please never leave me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Smokeball has a few features that could be enhanced or updated. For instance, the text messaging feature only allows a limited number of characters. Most of our clients respond better to texting than emailing, so the character limit can make it harder to communicate as effectively as we’d like. If Smokeball allowed unlimited characters, our communication with clients would be much more effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Wow, Alyssa! We can't thank you enough for this rave review. We are delighted to hear that Smokeball is making your life easier, boosting your productivity, and saving you time daily. We look forward to sharing some more exciting Archie updates with you very soon!
