## Resource

Zach sits down with NetDocuments Chief Product Officer Dan Hauck to unpack how AI is truly being used inside law firms and in-house legal teams today - from large-scale document profiling to agentic assistants that search, summarize, and edit directly within the DMS. Recorded live at ND Inspire conference, Dan explains why lightweight models are unlocking new automation, how in-house teams are often leading on adoption, and why the real ROI of legal AI goes beyond efficiency to include better onboarding, less isolation, and more confident decision-making for lawyers at every level. In This Episode The biggest changes Dan has witnessed after 8 years of the Inspire conference How firms are using AI at scale — not just on pilot use cases Why automated document profiling is now possible across millions of docs Understanding small models vs. large models in legal workflows How AI pipelines classify, extract, and enrich metadata instantly New use cases emerging inside the DMS (repapering, diligence, discovery, onboarding) Why in-house teams are often ahead of firms in AI adoption How agentic AI assistants reduce loneliness and cognitive overload The ROI debate: real numbers vs. intangible benefits What lawyers gain: better focus, faster context loading, and stronger client service Why this moment feels like a once-in-a-generation shift in legal technology Learn More:Zach - legallydisrupted.comDan - https://www.netdocuments.com/company/our-people/dan-hauck/ Follow Along:Zach - linkedin.com/in/zachabramowitzDan - https://www.linkedin.com/in/danhauck
