What do you enjoy most about your industry?
The nice thing about tech is that there are so many advancements that are changing the world. We implement AI in our software, and it's really cool to see how lawyers can save so much time from manual review using AI than they ever would before.
For instance, if lawyers have 10,000 documents or more to review, in the past they would have to go through them manually with assistants and paralegals. But now, you can use AI to summarize 10,000 documents within 30 seconds or less.
You can ask prompts like, "Okay, let's go through all this information and find certain key points that we're looking for." It's also cool talking to partners at law firms who have worked on really significant cases.
The Theranos case is one of our clients, with Hoggins Berman. I think one of the people mentioned that an Elon Musk case was on there or something similar.
The nice thing about the industry is that it is changing the world and it is the future. The way we're implementing AI is really interesting to see. Being able to work alongside the software developers who are creating it is always fun. It's engaging to discuss the nitty-gritty of software development and coding, and to see how it truly functions.
