Saumya Banker, co-founder and CEO of Donna AI, joins host KJ to pull back the curtain on the operational dysfunction hiding inside the legal industry. After watching his cousin's divorce case drag on due to missed communication, opaque billing, and overwhelmed staff, Saumya interviewed 75 lawyers and job-shadowed firms to map the real workflow. What he found: 40% of small law firm work is purely administrative, and AI can handle it. Donna AI is building the operating system for solo and small personal law firms so lawyers can take on more clients, charge less, and give more people a real shot at justice.

 

Key Takeaways:
 4:51 — Why hourly billing is broken and who's really paying the price
 8:27 — What Saumya found when he job-shadowed 75 lawyers across different practice areas
 16:22 — When a case stalls, who ends up paying the real price
 18:39 — What Donna AI actually automates inside a small law firm

 

Quote of the Show (1:00):
"AI is not here to take your job. It's here to supercharge you. The folks who use AI are going to take the jobs of the folks who don't." – Saumya Banker
