The article predicts that 2026 will be the year of "invisible AI," where artificial intelligence becomes seamlessly integrated into everyday workflows. The focus shifts from the technical aspects of AI models to improving user interfaces and product design. Users typically don't care about the underlying technology; they want efficient solutions that fit into their established routines. OpenAI’s improved interface is an example of this shift, moving away from confusing model names to clearer descriptions. A case study on Sandstone, which recently secured $10 million in funding, highlights this approach. Sandstone aims to transform in-house legal departments, a $30 billion market experiencing rapid growth due to increasing regulatory demands and the need for cost efficiency. The company’s platform integrates with existing tools like Slack and Salesforce, streamlining workflows and reducing inefficiencies. The article contrasts a typical day for a legal associate at a fictional company, Rex’s Chex, before and after using Sandstone. The post-Sandstone workflow showcases significant time savings and improved accuracy in legal operations. The piece emphasizes that effective AI should enhance current practices without overwhelming users with new processes. By acting as a central hub for legal work, Sandstone allows teams to maintain their familiar tools while benefiting from AI's capabilities. The integration of AI could lead to increased demand for legal expertise as tasks become automated and more accessible, making it easier for businesses to engage with legal matters.
