Lawyers bill $1,000 an hour to read documents. AI can read them in seconds. The math is so obvious it's almost embarrassing that it took this long.
I was a corporate lawyer at O'Melveny. I spent 80% of my time on work that didn't require being a lawyer. Research, document review, drafting boilerplate. Harvey does that 80%.
I was a research scientist at DeepMind and Meta AI. Winston was a lawyer. The combination sounds weird until you realize legal AI needs both — someone who understands the models and someone who understands the law.
Allen & Overy, one of the five biggest law firms on earth, deployed Harvey across the entire firm. That wasn't a pilot. That was a signal to every law firm in the world.
Lawyers are the most skeptical users on earth. If the AI hallucinates once — once — they'll never use it again. Accuracy isn't a feature. It's the only thing that matters.
OpenAI invested in us directly. Sequoia led our Series B. We went from founding to $700 million valuation in 18 months. Legal AI isn't a niche. It's one of the biggest markets AI will ever touch.
