Description

Another day and another Anthropic announcement has spurred conversation. This time, it is Claude for Legal services. On May 12, Anthropic unveiled 20+ new "MCP connectors that link Claude to the software the legal industry runs on". Think Westlaw, LexisNexis, DocuSign. Alongside this, it announced 12 "new plugins tailored to specific legal work". With every new Anthropic announcement, we typically ask two questions on Zero Shot. Are actual workflows impacted? And what does this do to companies building in similar spaces?In our latest episode, we sat down with Shashank Bijapur, the co-founder and CEO of SpotDraft, to find out more. SpotDraft works on contracts, a crucial component of a lawyer's workflow that Anthropic wants to augment.But Shashank is not worried. He calls Claude the UPI layer. What you build on top of it is "heavily defensible," he adds. But what exactly is SpotDraft building that enables it to work with Claude as opposed to being pressured by its entry into the legal tech stack?
