We sit down with Matthew Dickinson, founder and CEO of Vable, ( for a wide-ranging look at a problem every lawyer and law firm/in-house knowledge team recognizes: too much content and not enough time. Matthew walks us through how Vable grew from monitoring law firm content into a SaaS platform built for legal current awareness, helping information professionals and knowledge management teams deliver curated alerts that lawyers will actually use. We unpack why an RSS feed or generic news alerts fall short, how relevance depends on sources and context, and how AI-driven personalization can move the value from “links to read” toward “insights to act on.” We also get practical on delivery: why email and Outlook still matter, why APIs and integrations are the future, and how being platform agnostic and content agnostic reduces tool fatigue inside big firms. Matthew closes with real founder advice on grit, building a values-first team, hiring for people and culture earlier than feels comfortable, and treating clients like true partners.
