Deep dives
Impact of AI on Legal Tech Startups
The adoption of generative AI is reshaping how legal tech startups present themselves to investors and clients. Many startups feel pressured to label themselves as 'AI-powered' to attract attention, which is often misaligned with client needs. Research indicates that potential clients prioritize the practical value and problem-solving capabilities of a service, rather than its underlying AI features. Ultimately, a startup's success hinges on its ability to demonstrate tangible value to customers, rather than relying solely on the appeal of AI integration.
