The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

Yeah, it's like that.

And they would just watch the screen and read every single word that came out of Harvey.

The Knowledge Project

Super risky because, you know, a decent amount of time it would hallucinate and get something wrong.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

And if it hallucinated, the lawyer was like, okay, this is useless.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

Like, get me off this demo.

The Knowledge Project

But when it worked, it worked super well.

The Knowledge Project

The riskiest version of this is we did it during our Series A pitch to Sequoia, where Sequoia grabbed a bunch of lawyers that they knew and they had us demo to them.

Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

And so I think like a lot of what we had to do in the beginning was literally just get lawyers to pay attention because they're super busy.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

Right.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

And it was just figuring that out.

The Knowledge Project

The personalization of all these demos matters so much because I don't think you get it until you really feel it on something that you work on.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

They're still not using it because of that.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

Like, I think there are still folks that have tried this like three years ago and they had a hallucination one time and they're like,

Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

Yeah, we're not going to do that.
