EP 362 - Is Now the Perfect Time to Build an AI Startup in the Legal Sector? - Simon Quirk - Graceview

The rapid advancement of AI has sparked widespread excitement and speculation, but the real impact of AI goes beyond the initial hype. While AI tools have demonstrated impressive capabilities, the most successful applications come from combining AI with human expertise.

In this episode of the Asia Tech Podcast, we talk to Simon Quirk, co-Founder and CEO of Graceview AI, about what it really takes to build an AI startup in today’s rapidly changing landscape.

Some of the topics that Simon covered in detail include:

• While there may be some overhyped valuations in the AI sector, the long-term potential of AI is undeniable.
• For any startup, identifying a niche and going deep is crucial. This approach not only helps in product development but also in building credibility and trust with early customers.
• Graceview’s approach blends AI with human expertise, ensuring that while AI handles the heavy lifting, lawyers review and validate the output.
• Why being model-agnostic is an advantage. The ability to switch easily between AI models depending on what is best suited for a particular task.
