Garfield AI

In this founder-to-founder conversation, Philip Young (CEO) and Daniel Long (CTO) unpack their legal product Garfield AI. Built around precision and empathy, the result is a guided path through small debt claims that feels friendly on the surface and is rigorous under the hood.

We begin with Daniel’s background in physics and his journey to legal tech, exploring how energy, scale, and reliability shaped our architecture. We then consider the broader implications of faster legal processes, including the changing economics of justice and the potential for AI-enabled triage and drafting to increase access to legal services.
