The market, and why this works now
The increasing adoption of AI tools in legal tech, driven by the need for cost reduction and efficiency, makes an AI-powered legal assistant viable. A strong first-revenue move could involve promoting the product through the Legal Tech subreddit, where legal professionals actively seek solutions to enhance their practices. However, founders should consider the significant capital required for ongoing AI model training and compliance with evolving legal regulations, which could affect profitability in the initial stages.
