Neil Araujo , the CEO and cofounder of iManage , was last on this podcast almost exactly two years ago . In the dog years of the legal industry's AI age, that feels like a long time ago. Our conversation then was about law firms still feeling their way around generative AI. But now, as you will hear in this episode, the focus is about what it actually takes to put AI to work at scale - and iManage's answer is that it starts with what Neil calls a knowledge foundation: the content, context and governance layer that makes AI responses not just fluent, but relevant and trustworthy. Two weeks before we recorded this episode, iManage unveiled the next evolution of its document- and knowledge-management platform, one built around what iManage calls a "context fabric" - an architectural layer the company says transforms an organization's accumulated documents and activity into a "living, governed foundation" for AI agents. It also announced iManage MCP , a standardized, open-protocol connection that enables any AI systems to securely access governed iManage content without custom integrations.
