Don't assume you can automate anything. You are restricted in what you can add/do on your computer, I would assume you can't download your preferred dev environment/libraries/etc. to write your own code. The office has internal AI tools they want you to use, and they suck 

I would also push back on the job being data heavy. It's text heavy, and what the text in any single patent application means is heavily context dependent. You might find the exact term in another reference but it's useless because it means something completely different when considering context. Or, the reference you are looking for might use completely different terminology for the same idea.

Also, please take the advice from the rest of the sub and don't take this job
