who understand their legal problem and leave with a clear next step.
A legal problem shouldn’t be a mystery only money can solve.
Most people never ask a lawyer. That’s not their failure; help was built for someone else.
Understanding comes first. You deserve to know what’s happening before you decide anything.
Technology should open the door to lawyers, not pretend to be one.
We measure ourselves by one thing: how many people leave with a clearer next step.

The deadline you didn’t see coming.
The words you’ve never had to know.

For years, the callers who stayed with me were the ones no lawyer would take. Not because their claims were false, but because the fee math didn’t work at any firm. That gap bothered me enough that I built something for it.

Kyle builds Scribe with Matthew LaCrosse and Mimi Phan, so everyone else can understand what’s happening and what they can do next.
Scribe is an AI assistant that gives general legal information and writes a summary you can share with a lawyer. Here’s what that looks like.
In your own words, by text or video, in English or Spanish. No legal words needed. Start anywhere; it asks what it needs to know.
Scribe gives general legal information about what you’re facing, so the letter starts to make sense and you can see your options.
Scribe writes up what you said. You read it first and fix anything it got wrong. Nothing is sent without your OK.
Talking with Scribe is free; separate legal services may have a cost.
You don’t pay to explain your situation or ask questions. If you want something more than a conversation, that is a separate service from Scribe Smart Inc., the company that makes Scribe. You see the price before you pay, and you choose whether to go ahead.
Scribe Smart Inc. is a technology company, not a law firm.
Every conversation starts the same way:“Hi, I’m Scribe, an AI assistant, not a lawyer.”
Scribe is an AI assistant, not a lawyer. A conversation does not create an attorney-client relationship.
AI can make mistakes. Check important details, and talk to a lawyer before you act.
Three co-founders. Each writes for Scribe under their own name, and every guide shows its author.
