On a personal level she shares how she first developed an interest in tech and the influence of law school on her career choices.<br /> One of the things I found most interesting about this conversation was the impact on her of her experience at Microsoft.</p> <p>Of course the pandemic has spurred Amanda on to even more action and you can hear about how - in a very short time - she developed a rent relief app, government subsidies navigator and leveraged an existing platform to enable people to find legal assistance.</p> <p>Speaking of apps that can be developed quickly, with Neota's no-code app-building tool Canvas, you will be able to prototype a functional web application capable of sophisticated reasoning and complex outcomes within minutes to ensure your legal expertise can be accessed online anywhere, 24/7.</p> <p>Neota Logic is a leading no-code AI automation platform, providing professionals with a wide range of easy-to-use tools to automate any aspect of their services.
