This is awesome! 7.6/10 -- we'll take it!

In our experience they do! The smarter the LLM, the less pre/post-processing you can get away with and still get a good output. So no, you can't just throw raw log data at it, but it doesn't require nearly as much work as it did 2-3 years ago

Thank you so much for the support! We would always love intros to any lawyers who hate time tracking.

We completely agree about supporting large firms, either with on-prem or deployment within their cloud environment.

We're starting to see more and more of this actually! Some kinds of legal work fit flat fees well -- eg. immigration or company incorporations. Other kinds are highly variable and unpredictable (eg. litigation or anything involving external negotiations) and so will likely remain on the billable hour

Thank you! We think it's a less obvious but very useful application for LLMs

My brain definitely started to experience life in 6 min increments as well, even after just the first few months at a firm!

We do have a couple different approaches to filter out non-work. As far as firm management, we think there's a lot of useful information in time data that firms can leverage, but at the same time we don't want this to turn into spyware so we're mindful of only exposing aggregated/anonymized data

Without getting into too much detail, our approach is more metadata-based as screenshots/OCR are pretty noisy and expensive to work with. Shoot me an email if you like, happy to chat! [email protected]

It depends somewhat on the practice area (eg. are you going to court a lot) but we find the vast majority of work is either on the computer, phone/tablet, or listed in the lawyer's calendar

These are really great points, and data privacy/security is probably the top concern from big firms. Hosting locally is definitely where this is headed for all the reasons you mentioned

One thing I personally find exciting is that by making attorneys more efficient we can increase the supply of available legal services, which hopefully allows underserved populations more access

It has, but it's been very hard to accomplish technically prior to modern LLMs

I think privacy for the end user is really important here, which means letting the user review and edit the time entries generated before they submit to the billing system. Ultimately we view this is a tool to help the end-user

Thank you for this! Our site copy can definitely use a refresh

Definitely, works just as well for paralegals and support staff
