The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

Yeah.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

We try to be judicious about our choices there.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

Again, this is where I think really talented, good engineers come in place.

The Neuron: AI Explained

Even though Claude Coe can go write 10,000 lines of code, he can't make a decision like that really well and have an intuition for that really well.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And so I think this is where really talented engineers come into play and are exceptionally important in the development process.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

And then the last thing I'll say is, like, starting with the whole problem.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

So, like, there's this idea in software development of, like, the MVP, right?

The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

And I think oftentimes teams...

The Neuron: AI Explained

they try to minimize the problem, like minimum viable product.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

Like, okay, I want to make the problem as small as I can to be viable.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

And so this is the hardest part.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

This is the most valuable part.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

I'm going to focus on it.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

And I think if you over-index on being too minimal, you actually miss the system.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

And really the way the AI system and the agentic system operate is,

The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

isn't apparent until you build the whole system, right?

The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

And so I think really focusing on the whole problem as much as we can on day one, rather than trying to like slice it and solve this component too early has been a shift for us from like a product and engineering perspective that has allowed us to like really think about these things as a system rather than as like an individual discrete component.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

Yeah, exactly.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

Exactly.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How Thomson Reuters Built AI Agents That Think Like Lawyers

Yeah, I do.
