Legal design pioneer Antti Innanen explains the philosophy behind his latest creation Lavern and shares his outlook on the future of the legal profession.

What if the future of legal AI isn't a faster junior lawyer—but a team that debates?

Legal design pioneer Antti Innanen explains why he spent six months building Lavern, an open-source legal AI framework with dozens of specialized AI agents that challenge each other's reasoning instead of producing a single answer. We discuss why transparency matters more than black-box automation, why curiosity is the most underrated AI skill, and why legal AI needs more diversity of thought—not another race to build the fastest assistant.

From legal design and open source to the future of law firms, Antti shares a refreshingly different vision of what the next generation of legal AI should become.

“Earlier this year, well just about like four weeks ago, Ireleased MikeOSS which went viral.“
