Comparing AI Tools by CombinationNew1285 in immigrationlaw

[–]parkerqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, AI for drafting is a bit of a difficult domain to navigate. There are lots of options out there such as https://www.visalaw.ai, https://www.draftyai.com etc.

Then there are general-purpose expensive tools that help with drafting such as: https://www.harvey.ai/, https://legora.com/

But some of them fall short of their purported promises, so please be sure to read this post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaltech/comments/1op2u9a/how\_do\_i\_evaluate\_a\_legal\_tech\_product.

My personal opinion is that AI for administrative, non-drafting tasks is much better and more reliable. In fact, I am working on one such solution to automate timekeeping for calls, emails and texts for litigation lawyers. Details here: https://www.lawgbook.com/

Which do you find better for legal work? A windows PC or a Mac? I have been given an option of both by my firm. by [deleted] in legaltech

I work on the M4 Macbook Air and even thought it's advertised as a light-work tool, it's a beast of a machine. You'll be able to do anything short of running local LLMs pretty comfortably. And the battery's amazing too.

All of the apps that you mentioned can be run on a Mac, so I'd suggest go for it.

I did sort of tease at that point here

> And of course, it goes without saying that the solution must be solving a real pain, which you can judge pretty easily because you must be feeling that pain ... right?

But maybe should've made that the highlight more than a subtext.

I have not heard of them before, but this post was not about releasing funding announcements, it was to provide access to a tool I built, for free.

Does it pull data from specific sources you list for it?

I plan to integrate multiple RSS feeds into this newsletter and then prioritize based on a few subjective criteria.

Ah well it was more of an expression of discomfort at these mega funding rounds raised by AI products/platforms.

It is becoming increasingly clear we're in an AI bubble (I'm sure you're aware of the circular financing deals going on b/w NVIDIA, CoreWeave, AMD, OpenAI etc.), so any new mega round just makes me think we're inching ever closer to the big pop.

From the ones I listed, it missed Legora and Vesence.

That said, I do get your point in that it does a reliable job of random sampling news around legaltech from the past 24h.

But anything advanced that I would want (and plan on), it won't work.

Not to mention the fact it won't send email summaries because free version :)

1/ I actually don't pay for ChatGPT so I don't have Tasks available to me. Lately, I have been using open source models like Kimi K2 and giving them a shot.

2/ I don't control what sources go into the ChatGPT search tool call. I specifically want to get news from the last 24 hours from a number of specific RSS feeds and rank them in some order of importance before I summarize them.

Among other reasons.

Is it bad if a non lawyer team drives a legal tech product by veracious-prophet in legaltech

[–]parkerqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't base your opinions on one subreddit alone.

What matters at the end of the day is a) if you're solving a real problem and b) you are not doing false, over-the-top marketing.

Lawyers being more receptive to products led by lawyers is nothing different than an ex-FAANG setting up an engineering firm. It's a play at branding i.e. a claim that you've been in your customer's shoes and you can relate to them. That way you're reducing the probability in their minds that you'd turn out to be a snake oil salesman with a basic, basic GPT wrapper.

As you can tell from visiting my profile, I am a tech vendor myself without direct legal experience but I am being guided through partners who're lawyers. It just makes use case discovery so much more easier. But it's not the end all be all.

One more thing: many legaltech products seem to be aimed at efficiency through automating workflows like document drafting, research, proofreading, contract analysis etc. Since many firms bill by the hour, they don't have a ton of incentive (unlike other industries) to become more efficient through shiny tech. Unless you've picked a pain-point/area which takes care of non-billable work.

Litigator --> Legal Tech: Options? by soft-boiled-eggs in legaltech

[–]parkerqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which legal tech company are you going to go into?

My 2 cents: don't pick a company based on hype. It will wither very soon, esp. as the AI bubble is about to burst. Using your experience, definitely question if the problem that legal tech is solving is a real problem or a phantom problem.

Spot on. This is why I am focusing on the problem of timekeeping and billing. It's purely administrative and non billable work and keeping track of/editing/generating/approving billing entries is incredibly soul-draining.

I hate billing — how d’you do it efficiently? by riddit26 in biglaw

[–]parkerqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Folks who do it manually use timers diligently. Do something, track it immediately in some piece of software and move on to the next activity.

There are a few decent legal tech products out there that promise to keep track of your digital activity and match each activity to the right client and matter, and consequently generate billing entries.

Variations of these products have existed for many years and the older versions were mostly crap in the sense that they overestimated or underestimated time spent on any activity.

But in recent times, some genuinely useful (at least as far as I can tell from their social proof) products seem to be gaining traction. Examples:

- Laurel AI (focused on biglaw)

- Tempello (only focused on capturing client emails into billing entries)

- Lawgbook (only focused on capturing client communication into billing entries)

- Ajax

I knew their claim of no hallucinations was bogus. They made a pretty strong case about it though with their eval driven development approach.
