Debating between going full CLM or making the most of your current tools? Tune in to our next webinar – we'll show you a new way of managing & reviewing contracts that won't mess with your existing workflow: recitalapp.com/webinar-contra… #inhousecounsel #contracts #legaltech




Requirements analysis and software development skills are strictly optional. They have been streamlined away so as to not waste scarce resources that could be used selling more software to people who do not require software to function to buy it.

And is this also a competence thing? Oh yes, it is also a competence thing. The consulting shops that win these bids specialize in winning bids. They are the best in the world at winning bids.

Have they considered giving up and starting over with another workforce given a much simpler compensation structure? Because writing a computer program whose true requirements are intentionally designed to be impossible to write down is extremely non-trivial.

Now @RecitalApp. You what what lawyers really care about? “Where the f*ck is my shit.” (I’ve heard that one before). Imagine if you could access your prior work product directly in word. Imagine if you could get your redline from email and from word. And do all of this without changing the way you work, while working in word and email. For everyone who wants an easier way to do contracts. No implementation. No system integration. “F bombs are included for free, and yes we use AI.”




🧵 The historic NYT v. @OpenAI lawsuit filed this morning, as broken down by me, an IP and AI lawyer, general counsel, and longtime tech person and enthusiast. Tl;dr - It's the best case yet alleging that generative AI is copyright infringement. Thread. 👇



Our attempt at Oscar-worthy acting might not get us an award, but your vote sure could! Watch as we bumble our way through a 'serious' creative brainstorm and help us turn cringe into victory by voting for us to grace the Startup Alley stage at the @ABATECHSHOW! #ABATECHSHOW
