Ehsan's Recommendation
After benchmarking this stack across 30 companies, the ones who succeed treat it as a single system, not two tools for ai writing and ai code tools. With Claude feeding into Amazon CodeWhisperer, you remove the biggest friction point in most legal review workflows. The biggest wins come from the second and third workflows you build, not the first. Plan for iteration.
