Legal Tech Doesn’t Need More “Lamborghinis” ft. Kara Peterson and Richard DiBona

Written by Adrian Cea | Sep 24, 2026, 7:22:45 PM

Everyone claims AI will revolutionize legal, but Kara Peterson and Richard DiBona want to fix the systemic bottlenecks that have broken the system for decades.

Adrian Cea and Joe Stephens sit down with Kara and Richard, cofounders of Descrybe, an AI company focused on making the law easier to find, understand, and verify. Their story began during the pandemic, when a personal legal issue pushed them into the frustrating reality of trying to understand and access the law as nonlawyers. That experience became the starting point for a platform designed to make legal information more accessible, accurate and affordable.

 

This episode is a grounded look at what responsible legal AI can actually do: not replace lawyers, not magically fix the system overnight, but give under-resourced legal professionals better tools to serve more people.
