Social Media Manager

Head of Marketing at SparkPlug⚡️AI Marketing Advocate

I help legal professionals adopt AI in a practical and secure way.

With over 15 years in tech and a focus on AI workflows, I work with law firms, in-house counsel, and legal operations teams to build custom AI solutions that improve efficiency. From automating routine tasks to enhancing document review, I translate complex AI capabilities into clear, usable workflows that legal teams can actually implement.

My journey into AI began when I helped launch one of the first micro-tools built with the OpenAI API, an AI email writer created before ChatGPT existed. Since then, I have led AI strategy at SaaS companies, trained teams on AI adoption, and implemented AI-driven systems.

I hold a certification from MIT in Artificial Intelligence for Business. My specialties include:
	•	AI workflow development for legal teams
	•	Prompt engineering for legal use cases
	•	AI training and enablement for internal teams
	•	AI tool audits and evaluations
	•	Aligning AI adoption with privacy, security, and compliance standards

Whether you’re exploring legal AI tools, automating intake, or building a knowledge assistant, I help legal teams implement AI in a way that is strategic, ethical, and aligned with business outcomes.

If you’re exploring AI for your firm or legal department, I’d be happy to connect and share ideas.


This week felt like watching the training wheels come off. 🚴🏻‍♀️

For a long while now, legal AI has been about experimentation and pilot programs. What I’m seeing shift is that AI companies are truly building for how legal work actually gets done, not just what sounds impressive in a demo.

The tools aren't just getting better, they're getting easier to deploy. Funding is happening left and right. And agentic AI? It's about to be everywhere.

Five main things caught my attention:

💰 GC AI raised a $60M Series B round. I'm proud to have been involved in their early growth as the Founding Marketer. Looking forward to seeing them continue to scale!

🤑 Clio raised $500M (largest legal tech round ever!) following its $1B vLex acquisition. Institutional investors are betting that AI-powered legal operations are the future.

🔍 OmniLex raised $4.5M for improved legal research and NLPatent secured $3M for agentic patent workflows.

⚙️ Alexi launched 74+ pre-built AI automations for contract review, due diligence, discovery, and risk assessments. Ready day one.

🤖 Thomson Reuters unveiled agentic workflows in CoCounsel that independently execute multi-step tasks and handle bulk review of up to 10,000 documents (minimal human intervention required).

You can swipe through the carousel for the full breakdown, or catch the deep dive in yesterday's Legal AI Insider newsletter on my profile with more news items.

PS: 🗓️ I'm hosting a webinar next week on 𝟮𝟬 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗜 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 because I want to keep helping legal professionals figure out what actually works. Real examples you can use in your work. Send me a message and I'll save you a spot.

"Let’s clarify your intent" 😍

ChatGPT is getting better.

I've been waiting for this moment. I know it would come but this is one of the first times I've seen it.

AI is slowing down and asking for clarity from my vague instructions just like a human would.

I've seen indicators of this before. If you would have asked it to write a marketing plan a year ago, it wouldn't have stopped to ask about the business you wanted to write it for. Eight months ago it started asking that.

Today, I gave it something that it would have normally moved forward with, but today it stopped and asked for clarity. 

It was the right thing to do.

These models are improving in small ways all the time.

Gemini will overtake ChatGPT when they:

1. Add a collaborate project feature

2. Allow Gemini to access most of the most common Google apps (YouTube, Analytics, etc)

3. Add memory 

3. They expand Google Opal to integrate with other apps outside of the Google ecosystem

4. They consolidate more of their AI features into their core Gemini app

I think it’s likely that these will all get done in 2026.

So, my prediction: Gemini will surpass ChatGPT by this time next year unless ChatGPT has an insane Hail Mary up their sleeve. 

Will you move?

#Danchez

Daily podcasting used to take a team.

Now it just takes AI.

The last time I pulled this off was during B2B Growth—but back then, I had a full team helping me:

 👉 A producer
 👉 A podcast editor
 👉 A copywriter

This time, it’s just me and my cohost, Ken Freire.
No team. No buffer. Just two guys hitting publish every day.

But here’s the wild part…
It’s actually easier now.

AI systems have replaced 80% of the manual work.
From pre-production to post-production, to distribution...it’s faster, smoother, and honestly more fun.

We’re doing it all for The AI-Driven Marketer, where we’re releasing a book via podcast in real time.

(Yes, Pod → Book in one month.)

If you’re a marketer or creator curious what AI-powered content systems really look like, follow along. I’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes breakdowns here on LinkedIn all November.

PS – Want the playbook for how I'm pulling this off? I giving the full guide (tools, step-by-step tutorials, and more) away for free here: https://lnkd.in/ebd7Rkge

Google Sheets + Gemini = AI magic.

Here are 3 new things I've learned recently:

1. It can complete entire tables for you.

Give it a few sample rows, highlight the blanks, and tell it to “fill in the rest.” It’ll match the pattern perfectly.

Pro tip: Great for content calendars or persona lists. Just seed it with 3–5 examples first. 

👉 Pull AI into a formula inside a cell.

You can now type =@Gemini("prompt", [cell]) and reference other cells like a normal formula.

Pro tip: Use it to instantly categorize open-ended survey answers (“How did you hear about us?”).

👉 Pull live data across browser tabs.

If you’ve got YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts open, Gemini can scan them all and build a total-views spreadsheet for you.

Pro tip: Works wonders for pulling report data from across multiple tabs at once. 

The bottom line?

AI in Sheets isn’t just a novelty... it’s becoming a legit data assistant for marketers.

I was 67 episodes in, then I got traction.

It takes time. We have to stop pivoting.

I had started and stopped a dozen blogs, podcasts, YouTube channels. 

I finally stuck with one.

It took a long time to grow.

But it did grow. 

Now it reaches 1,200-2,000 people an episode. 

It’s not huge, but it’s enough to keep it in the top 50 marketing podcasts. 

If you are just starting, just realized that it takes time. 

If you want to give up, keep going.

If you want to speed it up, publish more AND do improve the quality a little every time. 

Also, 67 wasn’t the magic number, it’s just when I noticed that things began to grow at a slightly faster rate. 

I was also not starting from zero. I had 25k LinkedIn followers and 10k monthly page views on my site and it still took a long time.

PS - Want me to take a look at your pod? Drop a link below and I’ll send a quick video with some rapid fire feedback.

OpenAI’s gearing up for war with Google.

But here’s the problem…

Google owns the map, the email, the docs, the OS… OpenAI owns ChatGPT and Sora. That’s it.

They’ll burn billions chasing compute, so building their own “Google Suite” from scratch? Impossible.

If I were Sam Altman, I’d go all in on acquisitions that scare Google:

👉 Notion: where real people actually work.
👉 Proton Mail: where privacy isn’t an afterthought.

Imagine a future where “OpenAI Suite” means private, fast, AI-powered everything.

Google would finally have a rival worth sweating over.

What company would you buy if you were OpenAI?

#Danchez
I help marketers use AI to move faster, build better, and think smarter.

PS – I built a free tool to make posting on LinkedIn easier. Try it (Link in profile).

Can you write a book with AI?

Would it be any good? We'll find out.

Naturally, there are dozens of programs that will spit out a book with a single prompt and all of them will be garbage. 

But, what if AI was just the ghost writer? 

What if you fed it your:

👉 Ideas
👉 Stories
👉 Style
👉 Structure
👉 Instructions

What if you let it interview you for more details?

That's what Ken Freire and I are attempting to do one podcast episode at a time. We've outlined the book using our existing ideas, broke down each chapter, and are recording an episode nearly every day this month that Gemini is turning into a chapter with the transcript.

We will still have to edit, but getting to v1 of the written draft was always the hard part (for me anyway). 

Will it work? 

The first drafts I'm getting out of Gemini tell me, yes.

You get to be the judge when it's published.
