Nine legal technology companies will demonstrate specialized AI tools for law firms, courts, and corporate legal teams during a free virtual event next month.
The Legal AI Demo Day: Summer 2026, scheduled for August 11, will feature eight-minute live demonstrations from each company. Organizers—WashU Law, Wickard, and the National Law Review—have designed the event to show how AI is moving beyond general chatbots into niche legal workflows.
Each company will walk attendees through its product in action, focusing on real-world applications rather than sales pitches.
Mary Technology targets litigation teams handling chaotic case records. Its platform ingests documents, extracts key facts, and organizes them into a searchable timeline. Every fact remains tied to its original source, allowing lawyers to build chronologies without losing the evidentiary trail. This approach helps attorneys reconstruct events in cases involving thousands of files.
PointOne automates timekeeping for law firms. The system passively tracks attorney activity and generates proposed time entries, reducing the administrative burden of manual logging. It also ensures compliance with client billing guidelines and improves realization rates by capturing work that might otherwise go unbilled.

Orbital Tech focuses on real estate due diligence. Its AI combines property documents, public data, and mapping tools to flag legal and commercial risks. The platform replaces manual reviews of scattered sources with a more systematic approach. During the demo, it will show how the system identifies issues that might slip through traditional checks.
Briefpoint streamlines discovery workflows. Used by over 1,000 law firms, the platform automates the preparation of requests, responses, and objections. It enforces consistency in how firms handle discovery, reducing repetitive drafting. The presentation will highlight how automation can shorten one of litigation’s most time-consuming tasks.
Lua Legal is a meeting-intelligence platform designed specifically around lawyers’ professional obligations, including privilege, confidentiality, and attorney control. Lawyers can use Lua during telephone calls, video conferences, and in-person meetings to take notes, respond to questions, summarize documents, and generate meeting summaries and action items. The platform is described as “privilege-first,” with legal confidentiality considerations built into its architecture and workflow.
Twin Counsel is developing an AI colleague for solo and small-firm lawyers.
This shift in legal AI moves away from general-purpose chatbots. Early adopters often used broad tools for basic research or drafting. Now, developers create platforms tailored to specific practice areas, with features designed around legal ethics and regulatory requirements. The demos will show how that specialization works in practice—whether for litigation fact management, automated timekeeping, real estate due diligence, discovery workflows, privileged meeting intelligence, or small-firm matter management.

The event runs from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. ET and is open to lawyers, judges, law firm leaders, legal operations professionals, law students, and educators. Registration is free.
For law firms, the demonstrations could reveal how AI might change daily tasks—from timekeeping to discovery. Courts and corporate legal teams may find tools addressing judicial case preparation or securities disclosure compliance. Students and educators will see how AI is being integrated into legal practice beyond generic chatbots.
The format—short, live demos—avoids marketing language. Attendees will observe how these tools handle real legal work, including its complexities and constraints.
No prior technical knowledge is required.
