About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of structural intelligence in legal work and its relationship with AI.

🧾 Episode Summary In this episode of Adventures in Legal Tech, host Jared Correia sits down with Tim Follett, CEO and co-founder of StructureFlow, to unpack one of the most overlooked yet critical challenges in legal work: structural complexity. From corporate transactions to litigation strategy, legal professionals rely heavily on understanding relationships—between entities, obligations, and flows of value. Yet, the tools used to map these structures haven't meaningfully evolved in decades. Tim introduces the concept of structural intelligence, explaining how visual models and semantic data layers can transform diagrams into powerful interfaces for both humans and machines. The conversation explores how diagrams function as "context-loading mechanisms," why AI needs structured foundations to be effective, and what the future of legal interfaces might look like—hint: think Minority Report. This episode blends legal tech, cognitive science, and AI strategy into a compelling argument: if you don't structure your data properly, AI might accelerate your work—but in the wrong direction. 🔗 Links & Resources StructureFlow: https://structureflow.co redcavelegal.com 🔑 Keywords legal…
