Our Story

For Julien, the problem of legal access has always been personal. When his mom was in a serious car accident, she could not work for two years. A personal injury lawyer fought for her and kept the family afloat. To the family, that lawyer was a hero. Years later, Julien watched a close friend spend $40,000 and meet with more than 20 attorneys just to learn if they had an employment case. And as a Canadian navigating the U.S. visa process, he experienced firsthand how opaque and intimidating getting legal help can feel. 


Different situations, same reality: legal access is too complex, too costly, and often out of reach.


Dingyu came to the problem from the technology side. He had built conversational AI systems at scale, managing millions of interactions and proving they could outperform some of the largest players in the space. Intake had long been seen as too complex for automation, but with recent advances in AI and the right product architecture, that changed.


Together, Julien and Dingyu founded Superpanel to transform how intake works for both law firms and consumers.

What We Built

Superpanel is not a generic AI system or chatbot. It is a digital teammate designed to handle the entire intake process. It automates more than half of intake work, reduces missed opportunities, and gives firms a system they can coach, audit, and trust like a real employee.


For consumers, Superpanel creates a modern, guided experience. People can tell their story once, share documents, and receive an answer without repeated forms or endless phone calls. Behind the scenes, Superpanel manages the workflows—follow-up, document collection, decision logic—that other tools cannot reliably handle.
