Josef is an AI platform where legal and compliance teams unblock and drive the business.
It’s where anyone can create self-service tools to answer FAQs, generate documents and contracts, or automate workflows like intake.
The majority of people who face a legal problem around the world don’t get legal assistance. And, for those who do, most are dissatisfied with the service they get.
Josef was created to solve that problem, founded by two young lawyers and a developer who believed that the law needs to work for everyone.
What’s in a name and why are we called Josef?
This is the story of how and why Josef came to be, and the Kafka character that serves as our inspiration.
