This session is a candid, practitioner‑level look inside the legal teams at Google, Reddit, and Zapier, focused on what they are actually doing with AI today.Each speaker will run a structured show‑and‑tell of their AI workflows: how they scoped the use case, what the stack looks like (models, agents, automations), how they stress‑tested it, and what success looked like. You will see both the upside and the constraints.
