Are you a lawyer looking for some tips on AI technology? In this episode of Maximum Lawyer, Tyson and expert guest Martin Kravchenko discuss the practical use of AI technologies—such as vibe coding, AI agents, and tools like Gemini, ChatGPT, and Notebook LM—in legal and personal injury law firms.

Tyson and Martin discuss bottlenecks within firms, especially with tech versus human bottlenecks. For law firms, Martin suggests that people are the biggest bottlenecks if you don't have the right amount of staff in your firm doing the right work. With a small firm, the people are important. As a firm increases, technology can become the bottleneck because there has to be a good, streamlined system in place to ensure people are able to do their jobs. If a good, solid CRM is not in place, the whole firm can really suffer.

Martin speaks about his use of an AI tool called Gemini and the benefits of it. One thing is people can access it through their Google Workspace and Gmail, which makes it easy and efficient. It can also process documents better, which for lawyers who work with medical records, can be really handy. Many people struggle with badly scanned PDF documents, which for Gemini, it can read quite well. This can make any lawyer's life a lot easier when preparing for a case.
