What is Fringe Legal Presents Bots @ Work?

Bots at Work is the new season from Fringe Legal, which explores how AI is changing the way work gets done, with a focus on real-world impact over hype. It looks at how operators, builders, and leaders are using AI to reshape workflows, decision-making, and business models, especially in professional services like law. The show focuses on practical insights, emerging patterns, and honest conversations about what works, what doesn’t, and what comes next as intelligence becomes cheaper and more embedded in everyday work.
