This is great news.
Not only is Descrybe.ai likely the first ever legal tech site/service to be nominated for the webbys it’s also all about access to justice and was imagined, built and devised by a husband and wife team Kara and Richard from scratch.
Here at House of Butter it is a bit of a dream to see this type of legal tech nominated by awards that actually matter rather than your usual circuit world of pat yourself on the back legal tech awards by multinationals or people just creating solutions for white shoe law firms that immediately go for the $$$
So – who are Descrybe.. you ask?
Here they are in their own words
descrybe.ai is a singular way to search for, and understand, caselaw. Our unique process leverages generative AI to make complex legal information more accessible to professionals and laypeople alike. We are laser-focused on easy access to caselaw research, by lowering cost (it’s free!), increasing ease of use, and employing natural language search and summarization capacity.
While our approach could make any type of complex information more accessible, our first practical application is a legal search engine that anyone can access, use, and understand. As of early April 2024, we have made over 2.8 million judicial opinions from across the United States summarized and searchable. Our goal is to have all available state supreme and appellate plus federal district and appellate court cases loaded and searchable by spring 2024.
descrybe.ai was built in Greater Boston by Richard DiBona and Kara Peterson, a husband and wife team who share an interest in technology, the law, and the democratization of information.
Rich brings deep experience in using emerging technology to solve complex problems and Kara is a communications expert with a special focus on social justice.
