Hot off the heels of breaking legal LinkedIn last week, we caught up with Jamie Tso - a Hong Kong-based lawyer who’s been building-in-public and sparking conversations across the legal community with his viral AI creations.
Jamie walks through his “SpellPage” contract editor (inspired by a novel-writing app, naturally), demonstrates real-time AI-powered redlining, and casually drops the concept of an open-source “legal AI operating system” built from first-principles that could democratise access to common technology workflows we are building to support common practices across legal.
His philosophy? The barrier to entry is now so low that sophisticated AI tools “should be free, more or less.”
Key moments:
Live demo of AI-powered contract editing with natural language instructions
Why Google AI Studio is the ultimate one-stop shop (native API keys, version control, GitHub integration, no coding required)
The shift from chatting with AI → AI using tools → AI spinning up mini-apps on the go
Jamie’s vision for consolidating legal workflows into reusable, customisable modules

This is what building in the age of AI looks like - experimental, exhilarating, and transformative.
