NEW: Weekly self-promotion thread

NEW: Weekly self-promotion thread

There is now a slice of r/legaltech where promotion is welcome(!)

In all other posts on all other days, Rule 1 applies in full. In this new weekly post series, go for it.

Request to everyone to ensure this is valuable

Please ask questions about pricing, data handling, what happens to your documents, actual customer counts. That's the point of doing this in the open.

Ground rules for vendors

  1. Vendor flair is required to pitch. Replies and questions don't need flair; that requirement is for pitches only. Instructions on how to do this are below. Vendor comments without flair will be removed.
  2. One comment per company with one link per pitch.
  3. No link shorteners, no redirect domains, and no "DM me for details", everything stays as discussion where the community can see it and learn from it.
  4. Feel free to link people to your rlegaltech.com listing if you have one (and tag me if you want to claim the 'Verified Vendor' flair for next week).
  5. No upvote brigading. I check. Vendors caught vote-manipulating end up on the public r/legaltech shill wall.
  6. Posting a pitch = opting in to the r/legaltech rules and the vendor conduct standards at rlegaltech.com/rules.
  7. Use the template below (or I'll assume you haven't read the other rules)

Pitch template (copy/paste)

  • What it is:
  • Who it's for:
  • Link:

How to set your Vendor flair (30 seconds)

  • Mobile app: open r/legaltech → tap the three dots (⋯) top right → Change user flair → select "Vendor: Company name", tap Edit to type your company → Apply.
  • Desktop: go to the r/legaltech home page → in the right-hand sidebar, find your username and click the pencil/edit icon next to "User Flair" → select "Vendor: Company name" → click the pencil on it to edit the text, replace "Company name" with your company → Apply.

[Video] r/legaltech remoderated #1 - Gabe (Harvey) let me dig into the AMA questions you weren't satisfied with

A few weeks back (link) we had Winston and Gabe from Harvey do an AMA again here. There were a lot of good questions (and they were tougher than they were for the first AMA — link).

Some highly voted questions went unanswered to a depth you all felt they deserved/wanted.

So I've had a go at interviewing Gabe from Harvey, and publishing that to Youtube.

  • 10:10 A bit on pricing (credit to airspacemess)
  • 20:01 Will Claude for Legal replace Harvey? (credit to u/Expensive_Net_4738)

(other chapter links not mentioned above)

  • 00:15 The Reddit ARR bombshell
  • 01:17 Acquisitions: buying a "neo lab"
  • 08:15 Early access to GPT-5.6 + Fable 5
  • 08:30 Faking an S-1 his GC can't spot: synthetic data rooms
  • 09:36 Customers on Grok, & Gemini's moment in the sun
  • 11:59 Benchmarks and product roadmap + synthetic data generation
  • 16:08 Simulated legal worlds & prepping Neal Katyal for the Supreme Court
  • 17:57 Who to sell to in law firms

Disclaimer: Harvey didn't pay for this (nobody pays me for this stuff), and I'm not here to sell them. If this video or channel ever monetises, I'll just put the money into hosting rlegaltech.com and trying to improve the community wiki (e.g. with some back-end eng support)

This is the first video I've done, so editing is rough in places, and I made a few mistakes throughout, but I hope the conversation is interesting enough to forgive those bits.

Link to the full video: https://youtu.be/-8fEyx75lfU

If people like the format I'll offer it out to previous AMA guests, and for future ones. I'm also open to others helping to post to this community youtube channel.

Feedback very much welcome.

Sometimes it's so hard to spot the bots on this sub...

Seriously though — Automod rules were loosened as genuine contributors were getting caught, and more 'request for feedback' posts have been getting through as a result.

I'll see if I can improve those rules today, without having consistent (and human) contributors caught out by it too.

Please keep reporting accounts/posts if you suspect them of AI sloppage, it's very helpful.

Also — Not legaltech related, but I found this video worth a watch to see how this problem is progressing in general.

Channel = Cold Fusion
Video = YouTube is Already 20% AI Slop

Founder and ex-CEO at Ironclad joins OpenAI to head up 'Codex for Legal'

All part of Codex's expansion into 'computer use' beyond coding.

Naturally they've seen the demand for Claude for Legal and Microsoft Legal Agent webinars, and are playing catch-up.

Harvey hits $300m ARR

Link to that comment from the (still) Live AMA thread.

>we're at around 300M rn

That's ~$110m added in five months. 58% growth.

He also added (given the recent drama around Contracted ARR vs ARR

>We calculate annualized value of monthly recurring revenue (MRR × 12) recognized during the service term. All our contracts are at least 1 year contracts with no termination for convenience. Usually our delta between cARR and ARR is around 5%

For comparison.

Legora hit $100m in April.
Clio announced hitting $500m a few weeks ago.

Scheduled AMA: Harvey Co-founders - Winston Weinberg & Gabe Pereyra | Wednesday, 27 May @ 4PM ET

When: Wednesday May 27, 1:00 PM PT / 4:00 PM ET / 9:00 PM UK
Hosts: Winston Weinberg + Gabe Pereyra (Harvey co-founders)
Co-moderating: u/meliarussell, Senior Correspondent at Business Insider (bringing her own questions again)

A few of you mentioned that last time the questions were too friendly. Round 2 is your chance to fix that. Please ask tougher questions.

This time - they've told me they'll share something publicly that they haven't shared before. That's all I know — I don't have any more detail than that.

As usual — If you can't make it on the day for whatever reason — post a question and vote up others below and I'll carry them across to the live thread on the day, with the vote count, and tag you in it so you'll know when it's answered.

Add to calendar: Google · Outlook · Apple / .ics

Cheers, Alex

P.S. Yes — This is the 2nd AMA Harvey has done, but the last one was over 6 months ago and they are still the horse out in front.

P.P.S Please tell me if my calendar links for Outlook and Apple work — I'm a Google guy.

Recent influx of spam posts and AI commenters.

As y'all have noticed. This Sub is getting slammed with AI slop comments and posts. Sorry about that.

It feels like it has been especially bad these past 2 weeks.

Would you believe that for every post that gets through, there are 10 or so which don't?

Mod Queue is an absolute trash can.

The thing that sucks is that there are genuine users writing genuine comments getting caught up in these filters too.

Please do use the flags and reports, I'll improve AutoMod based on those.

Thanks (and sorry) folks,

Alex

Announced Officially by Microsoft today (link here)

"The Legal Agent is available today in Word on Windows desktop through the Frontier program in the US. Legal Agent appears directly in the agents’ dropdown menu within Copilot in Word. No installation is required; however, users may need to restart Word to see the agent."

Fun fact: Richard Robinson (Founder of Robin AI is working with Microsoft now)

Do we think they'll get 20,000 people registered to their webinar? Is this going to be the new CARR vs ARR drama, but from the Frontier AI Labs or Mag 7?

Just received my first dodgy message re r/legaltech - shared below verbatim.

It was via Linkedin and they shared an example 'sponsored' post on another sub.

>Hey Alex
Thanks for connecting.
Do you accept sponsorships on your subreddits?

>Mods job is to approve the post, remove the comments we mark, and then lock the post when we ask them to. And we pay them

I removed the link they shared as an example on a different sub, as I'd not like them to have a heads up that I'm very much against this sort of thing.

Best way to proceed? Anyone have contacts on Reddit who can:
a. Get this person blocked (by escalating and following the accounts on the 'sponsored post' link they shared
b. Prevent this from happening on other subs in some way?

I'm quite shocked. Perhaps I was naive.

Edit: Quote wasn't properly wrapped.
