Why Watch

LegalAI is everywhere, but how much of it actually works in practice?

In this episode of LawNext, Knowable CEO, Nik Reed sits down with host Robert Ambrogi to share hard-earned lessons from more than a decade in legal tech. From his early days as cofounder of Ravel, through its acquisition by LexisNexis, to his current role at Knowable, Nik offers a grounded perspective on how to build technology that legal professionals can actually trust and use.

This conversation gets to the heart of what legal teams really need from AI, what advances in legal technology brought us to this moment, and how to tell the difference between thoughtful product design and empty promises.

Webinar Highlights

  • From Hype to Help: Why building useful legal AI is more about precision, structure, and domain expertise than generic platforms that try to do everything at once. Learn how and why Knowable designs like Hermes while much of the market designs like Target.
  • The Importance of Clean Data Foundations: Even in a world of flashy demos, garbage in still equals garbage out. The stakes are high with legal workflows and data quality determines whether AI adds value or just more noise.
  • What Lawyers Really Want: AI can shift the balance in legal work by reducing administrative burden and allowing lawyers to focus on high-impact tasks like applying legal reasoning and shaping corporate strategy.
  • Lessons From the Field: Personal stories and insights from Nik’s journey through the evolution of legal tech, from early conference halls where “AI” was taboo, to rooms filled with flashing AI buzzwords.
