Today, more than ever, industries are turning to tech to address inefficiencies that plague day-to-day operations. The legal industry, often viewed as one of the most traditional and slow-moving professions, is undergoing a silent revolution. Lawyers, known for their meticulous review processes and reliance on institutional knowledge, are increasingly overburdened by repetitive tasks like document review and answering the same questions multiple times.

Ruli AI, co-founded by Bryan Lee, is at the forefront of this shift, leveraging artificial intelligence to redefine how lawyers work. On Things Have Changed, we recently hosted Bryan Lee, co-founder and CEO of Ruli AI, to discuss how AI could tremendously boost efficiencies within the legal space while giving lawyers the tools they need to focus on strategic, high-value work.

Ruli AI: The AI Partner for Lawyers

Bryan’s career journey is far from the typical one - going from big law to launching an AI startup. After spending years juggling the demands of capital markets law, in-house legal counsel, and AI development at Google and Meta, Bryan observed a universal pain point: lawyers spending countless hours on tasks that could be automated.

“Imagine if lawyers had an AI partner that could handle repetitive tasks, like summarizing contracts, reviewing for inconsistencies, or even answering basic questions,” Bryan explained. “That’s where Ruli AI steps in.”

Ruli AI offers a legal platform with two primary components:

  1. Legal Hub: Automates intake processes, answers FAQs, and centralizes organizational knowledge for seamless collaboration.
  2. Copilot: A personal assistant for lawyers, capable of summarizing documents, conducting research, and providing clear, actionable insights.

This dual approach makes Ruli AI a trusted partner that helps lawyers focus on what they do best: solving complex legal challenges.

The Legal Profession’s Efficiency Problem

At the heart of Ruli AI’s mission is the drive to solve a problem that plagues the entire legal industry: inefficiency! The numbers are staggering. In a typical in-house legal team, a single lawyer might support 100 or more employees, resulting in a backlog of unanswered questions, delayed document reviews, and unproductive hours spent on repetitive tasks.

Lawyers and AI are an Ideal Fit

Ruli AI shows that AI & Law is a perfect fit. There is growing consensus that at least in the Legal field, AI is being viewed more as an Aid, and not a Replacement. By automating routine tasks, AI can empower lawyers to spend more time on complex cases, strategic thinking, and client relations. This technological shift allows legal teams to work more efficiently and cost-effectively while maintaining high-quality services.
