Episode notes
What happens when decades of courtroom tradition meet the power of AI? In this episode of Pitch, Build, Scale, host Chris Fanchi sits down with Tom Irby, Co-Founder of Skribe.ai, to explore how his company is transforming how testimony is captured, managed, and authenticated in the legal system. After selling his first court reporting business to industry giant Veritext, Tom saw firsthand how outdated and inefficient the process was — and decided to rebuild it from the ground up. Skribe.ai replaces stenographs and videographers with an AI-powered testimony intelligence platform that’s faster, more accurate, and fully admissible in court. Tom shares how they’re navigating regulation, building trust in a risk-averse market, and redefining what “official record” means in the digital era. Plus, he offers a refreshingly grounded take on AI adoption, innovation cycles, and the power of human adaptability.
