You throw AI into the mix and it will make it even more competitive.

But in engineering, let's just take another example.

We're hiring more engineers, although they're writing more code, right?

Because there's more stuff to do.

So the thing for the law firms is they need to increase the size of the pie.

I think so, actually, because I think you can just do more stuff.

You'll have more people writing code and doing things or starting new things and projects and things in two years than you have today.

I think it's within that timeframe that AI gets pretty good at completing end-to-end tasks very deterministically within our vertical.

So unless they can find something else to do than that thing within the firm or growing the pie, then yeah.

But here's the cool thing, right?

If you use technology to complete more of the work, then you need to think about how you win more work from the other firms.

But yeah, I mean, on a total, like, but I'm talking for an individual farm.

If you're talking on the total level, yeah, probably.

No, that's not something that I worry about.

Yeah, it's wild.

Fucking wild.

Adrian, who is our VP of products, his YC company did AI timekeeping.

Are billable hours over?

No, I don't think it is.

I think billing will move much slower than both you and I would think because often it's actually demanded by the clients because they want to get a breakdown of everything that the lawyers actually do.
