Episode notes
Models Are Electricity But Need A Purposeful Stack
- Foundation models improved dramatically around Opus 4.5/4.6, changing what's possible for legal AI.
- Max says models are the new electricity but you still need to build the car or house around them to create enterprise value.
Build With Low Ego And Embrace Agent Autonomy
- Build with low ego because features you shipped nine months ago may be obsolete as agents take over task execution.
- Shift from co-pilot modes to letting agents work autonomously and then reviewing outputs.
Combine Per-Seat And Consumption Pricing
- Consider hybrid pricing: per-seat plus consumption, especially as agentic task completion drives token usage.
- For heavy e-discovery or large token tasks, consumption pricing mirrors existing legal pricing norms.
