Grubel

Grubel is an AI research lab developing matter-specific AI for law firms and legal teams. For each case, its system curates task-relevant data, adapts models and agents to that matter at inference time, and evaluates their work against legal-task requirements, aiming to handle complex legal work with stronger case context and confidentiality than a general-purpose assistant.
