Not saying they did, but buying a 100 starts is cheap.

It’s not different from googling. If a non-lawyer googles legal advice (”how to give yourself an alibi after murdering someone”) it will not be protected by attorney-client privilege. Same if you ask OpenAI.
This. I am telling this since the boom of generative AI and promptly being ignored.
Some people pay attention. I know I do. Thanks for mentioning it.

#43The name is really clever given that the character in Suits is called Mike Ross. :)

#44For a moment I thought it was some open-source LLM trained on legal. It's not, it's a web app wrapping major LLM providers and streamlining legal workflows, uploading documents, and having the LLM providers interact with them. Cool project regardless!
yeah I thought that was the USP of Legora and Harvey, so this is not the same thing at all, just surfing the brand recognition
Harvey made it a point to FT ChatGPT models for a year or so but they were struggling to keep up with the pace of new model deployments and quit. They never went as far as Cursor AFAIK which produced its own routers/"composer" models.

#46I always wondered if Justin Kan’s Atrium closed door prematurely by just 2-3 years. It would have been cool to see a “technology” driven law firm and how it would have adjusted to LLMs.
There are loads of them now. Great for trivial work. Not so great to highly templatise more complex matters.

You're right but lawyers are naturally looking for precedent to support this

#48Is it safe to share details with AI for case points what happened when data is breached. Victims name will be reviled right?

#49How does this work with docx files? The screenshots only show pdfs?
LibreOffice for DOC/DOCX to PDF conversion
how does the agent edit the docx files then? or does it convert all docx to pdf, parse the PDF into context, make edits and then save it back to docx?
laywers live in docx not pdf

#50I believe this is the direction enterprise software is generally going. An open-source base with a very permissive license that then each company can adapt (with claude, codex, etc.) for it's own needs. It's either running it on it's own infrastructure or in hosted environment by the author. I've built a similarly extensible codebase for an ERP: https://github.com/lambdadevelopment/lambda-erp
