1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Kara Peterson and Richard DiBona, the husband-and-wife co-founding team behind Descrybe, discuss the legal research platform they built designed to &quot;democratize access to the law.&quot; The discussion explores the unique dynamics of married cofounders and how they are leveraging Generative AI to disrupt a landscape long dominated by high-cost legacy providers. Richard, a software engineer, and Kara, a marketing expert, share their journey from a personal legal issue to building a platform that processes over 100 billion tokens of legal data. They explain why they chose to build an AI-native system from the ground up rather than simply layering a &quot;wrapper&quot; over existing models—a decision that allows them to offer professional-grade tools at a fraction of the traditional cost. In this episode, they discuss: 🔷 Why legacy legal research platforms have maintained such strong moats—and how AI changes that 🔷 The difference between “wrapper” AI tools and building a system from the ground up 🔷 How their structured, multi-step reasoning process improves accuracy and reduces hallucinations 🔷 What benchmarking against the Bar Exam reveals about legal AI performance 🔷 Where Descrybe is headed as they expand their toolkit Technically Legal - A Legal Technology and Innovation Podcast https://www.tlpodcast.com/ <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/40700680/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/200381525
