  Practical AI Use Cases, NetDocs' Next Gen Experience, & Ambient AI with Nate Ruiz

  Sep 24, 202649 min

  Jared Correia opens with three broad, practical AI use cases for attorneys who aren't sure where to start: data collation, interactive/iterative search, and creative brainstorming. In the interview, NetDocuments Director of Product Management Nate Ruiz shares his journey from self-teaching web development to building an AI startup acquired by NetDocuments. Nate breaks down NetDocuments' "Next Gen Experience," detailing their new UX/UI architecture, automated "Doc Intelligence," and the "Legal Context Graph". He also explains the concept of "ambient AI"—AI that works passively in the background without needing prompts—and demystifies Model Context Protocol (MCP) and developer vibe-coding with Claude. The episode concludes in the Counter Program with the return of "Holidays on Holiday," where Nate tests his historical knowledge against Jared on defunct ancient and medieval holidays.

  Why Cookie-Cutter Workflows Fail Law Firms & AI Marketing Strategies with Russell Matson

  Aug 13, 20261 hour

  Off-the-shelf, cookie-cutter workflows fail modern law practices. Jared breaks down how managing partners must channel their experience to draft bespoke standard operating procedures (SOPs) tailored to their specific firm culture and client intake before locking them into legal management software. In the guest interview, Jared sits down with Russell Matson, former criminal defense attorney turned marketing and local SEO consultant. Russell discusses how artificial intelligence platforms like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini are reshaping online visibility for lawyers. He shares strategies for criminal defense practice, including hyper-specific niche targeting (like old warrants and leaving the scene of an accident), collecting authentic Google reviews, and setting up simple, voice-driven AI stacks for maximum efficiency. Russell also reflects on his shift from courtroom litigation to entrepreneurship, poker, and traveling New England. The episode concludes in the Counter Program with a look into Russell’s past as a fire-eating punk band frontman ("High Stepping Seafood"), followed by "The Norm Macdonald Hour"—a trivia gauntlet covering the late comedian’s iconic career.
