Alessandra Colaci ⚡️

Head of Marketing at SparkPlug⚡️AI Marketing Advocate

I help legal professionals adopt AI in a practical and secure way.

With over 15 years in tech and a focus on AI workflows, I work with law firms, in-house counsel, and legal operations teams to build custom AI solutions that improve efficiency. From automating routine tasks to enhancing document review, I translate complex AI capabilities into clear, usable workflows that legal teams can actually implement.

My journey into AI began when I helped launch one of the first micro-tools built with the OpenAI API, an AI email writer created before ChatGPT existed. Since then, I have led AI strategy at SaaS companies, trained teams on AI adoption, and implemented AI-driven systems.

I hold a certification from MIT in Artificial Intelligence for Business. My specialties include:
	•	AI workflow development for legal teams
	•	Prompt engineering for legal use cases
	•	AI training and enablement for internal teams
	•	AI tool audits and evaluations
	•	Aligning AI adoption with privacy, security, and compliance standards

Whether you’re exploring legal AI tools, automating intake, or building a knowledge assistant, I help legal teams implement AI in a way that is strategic, ethical, and aligned with business outcomes.

If you’re exploring AI for your firm or legal department, I’d be happy to connect and share ideas.
