E42 - Is Legal AI in Trouble or Just Getting Started? Cosmonauts Founder, Timo Karakashev

Just in time for Legal Week, Zach sits down Cosmonauts founder and legal tech insider Timo Karakashev for a wide-ranging conversation about where the legal AI market really stands. Timo shares what he’s seeing on the ground: growing demand for “premium” legal AI tools, dissatisfaction with generic enterprise AI solutions, and a market that’s still in the very early innings of adoption.   In this episode:

• Why legal AI tools like Harvey and Legora feel “premium” compared to generic AI
• The growing dissatisfaction with enterprise AI tools like Copilot
• Why demand for intelligence in legal work far exceeds human supply
• How legal AI adoption differs across regions, including Australia
• The debate over whether AI will disrupt or strengthen the SaaS model
• Why IP law has historically lagged in tech adoption and why that’s changing
• How legal tech conferences are evolving to focus more on practitioners and operators
• ⁠Why innovation at the top of the market could eventually improve access to justice
