When Winston Weinberg started Harvey in 2022, many were dismissing AI application companies as "GPT wrappers." But he saw what others missed: legal expertise can't simply be scraped from the internet. This insight led to Harvey's unique approach: combining experienced lawyers' domain knowledge with AI innovation. Rather than just applying models to legal text, they broke down intricate processes into steps, building specialized workflows that augment rather than replace human expertise. Harvey's success proves that the real opportunity in AI isn't just better models—it's understanding the industry expertise that can't be learned from a dataset.
Haha good luck getting lawyers to join the gig economy. They'll burn down the Republic using some vague distorted interpretation of the constitution first. They are 100% focused on putting AI into the courts in a way that keeps pro se litigants out and professional fees high. It's a unified effort backed by Amazon.
