It’s finally here: all US & state law, directly accessible with your agents or ours. Direct sql queryable. https://t.co/MlNGiMesHx

Don't agree. Casetext's value was in having its own database of caselaw, free from Westlaw's control. Sure, they hooked up an LLM to it, and that was pretty novel at the time, so maybe for a brief moment in time there was some value. Today, people would rather pick their own model, directly control it, and plug a caselaw database into it. Or go the other extreme, a Harvey / Legora model with enterprise grade harnesses and document handling.

Great question. I don't think you could get consensus from lawyers and judges in many instances on whether a pronouncement is "binding" or dicta, but that's really the job of the lawyer writing the brief. A search will output the cases most responsive to the query and rank them based on how many other cases cite to it, with a time decay factor and a freshness factor. Thousands of cases are given "Landmark" status - those surface near the top of the results if the case is responsive. The search function can accept Boolean searches as well as natural language based on embeddings. All cases are given a Goodlaw indicator - whether the case is still valid, overruled, questioned, etc. The Enterprise version allows users to directly query the database with their own apps, so users can apply any search algo they would prefer to use.

Get fired at 35? You can bounce back.

Business failed? Try again at 40.

You can make money your entire life. That big break can come in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s or 60s.

But the window to meet a woman, build trust, get married, have kids?

That closes. And once it does, it doesn't reopen.

Many people, myself included, are schooled by this product launch.

This is a sincere question.

What exactly is Legora and why do law firms buy the product?

Did they really not have skills until now? But they did have “aOS” or whatever they were calling it?

How is it possible a law firm could have productively used a “harness” like this without the concept of skills? What other basic features of a harness does it not have?

Is this just a marketing re-launch?

Does Harvey also not have this?

Are law firms unaware that Claude exists?

How can you achieve 100M+ ARR without features that have been table stakes in AI for two years?

These are sincere questions.

What exactly does the Legora product do why have law firms chosen to adopt it at a significant price above eg Claude or OpenAI if the product is running so far behind the frontier apps.

For a product to grow this quickly it must do something phenomenally well beyond what is clearly brilliant GTM.

What does it do exactly?

[LawDiver @CaseDiverLaw]

It’s classic we’ve got to do something behavior. BigLaw is already building their own harnesses or using raw frontier or both. Over time, harness vendors will lose BigLaw. Their market will be smaller firms, at best, who will be happy to pay $2k/month for a harness hooked up to a Chinese model.

[LawDiver @CaseDiverLaw]

@Alpaca_Capital BigLaw now has internal AI teams building their own harnesses - its not really that difficult. And they use the frontier, raw, which is often better, with a rag stack. Legarvey is toast. Expensive toast.

@theviclaw just plug claude into a database with all caselaw and statutes, if you can find one........

This is pretty wild. Basically, during sentencing, an AI video was shown that depicts the deceased victim sharing hypothetical posthumous comments (see below).

After the AI video played, the judge was visibly emotional, stating, "I love that AI, thank you." He then sentenced the defendant to a longer prison term than what the prosecution even asked for.
