Congratulations on the release of Tome! Great idea аnd we can get reliable legal information for typical situations!🦾
@rahul_khinchi Thank you so uch!
So we handle variations in language and nuances by having really large datasets. For instance, suppose you have a "termination" clause in a contract. Thanks to our dataset, we have almost every possibly permutation of that clause in our database. When a new contract is uploaded, there's some pattern-matching going on. And if the new contract contains a unique instance, that instance is then stored in our database for future pattern-matching. Over time, the number of unique instances starts to reduce significantly. But because of the infinite nature of natural language, the rate of reduction will be asymptotic.
Nice. This is going to save someone a bunch of money! Question, how does it handle US state-specific laws?
@davor_kolenc Tome helps you understand and negotiate your contracts. While state specific laws apply, in 99% of cases users are just looking to negotiate the particulars of the contract. In other words, asking “does termination in 30 days notice seem standard?” Is a lot more common than “does this contract violate Texas law?”
I like how you recognized where you can add efficiencies by replacing people with AI, but also recognize that at the end of the day, it's a law firm, not a product. It's service driven!
What products do you use in house to automate and manage clients? Are they AI driven as well? Will you build more internal products to automate workflows in the future?
Congrats on the launch @nadssdssd and team!
This is cool! Could see it saving a lot of money on certain tasks. How do you think about buy-in from a startup's legal team? And do you consume legal contracts already developed with lawyers? For example, I could see it being useful to have a standard contract agreement drafted by my law firm once, then using Tome to generate every additional agreement.
@emmalawler24 Emma I love this question. I operate on the firm belief that legal teams don't scale. An company constantly needs to expand in legal headcount to address legal needs as that organization grows and scales. So we see Tome as an opportunity for existing legal teams to 10x themselves. Basically, they can take more on without having to hire more.
And yes, we definitely consume contracts already developed by lawyers! Your proposed use-case is a perfect one for our product and we're excited for you to try it!
Looks incredibly valuable, great idea. But I have two questions:
1. contracts I might upload are extremely confidential and may have very valuable trade secrets. What reassurances can you give that they won't fall into the wrong hands?
2. How/why is this better than GPT4o which can also analyse contracts and give advice
@mattski2000
Important questions, thanks for asking!
1) We take your privacy, confidentiality, and security very seriously. We've designed our system from the ground up with that in mind. And our Terms of Service provides a strong NDA in your favor. :)
2) We actually use GPT4o in one step of our pipeline! In a nutshell, our biggest value-add is knowing what the right questions are to ask, and we ask those questions in our own fine-tuned models, trained our our database of >100,000 pieces of legal text.
@mattski2000 Hey! First of all those are absolutely valid thoughts to have. I'm an engineer here at Tome, and I can provide some more insight on those two topics as well.
1. We're currently SOC2 certified, and all your information is siloed and encrypted. As Nadia said, we're bound by confidentiality agreements in the Terms of Service. We have very specific procedures in which our team is able to view your data, such as when responding to matters that require lawyer assistance. Otherwise, that data is kept in our vault.
2. This is a wonderful question, and I'd love to answer in depth. We started off as more of a research company, tackling this without the aid of LLMs with a rather complicated system of regexes and pattern matching utilities to aid our labelling and clause recognition processes. When we added LLMs in this years, we took the same approach of scientific rigor to it, and there's honestly probably 10,000s of hours of attorney-labeled work going into the product. Every output you see on our reports and in the responses have been trained/fine-tuned/prompted based on those painstakingly hand-labeled contracts.
Almost 80% of our productivity is actually going into the internal tools we have that support the whole extract => label => fine-tune/prompt => evaluate loop, and we are very very strict about what outputs we enable based on accuracy numbers.
nice growth hack with the name of your app.
Tome was a fake AI app that was inserted by the founder of Jenni AI into a video, to see how many people copy tik tok videos presenting AI tools.
tome has thus made its way to countless videos on tik tok, instagram and youtube shorts... without even being real in the first place.
you will now fill that void. Curious to see what wonders those videos will do for you now.
Huge congrats Tome team! As a very small (one-person) company / fund, this is going to be hugely helpful.
That's a very interesting product as well as the most interesting ideas out of all. You're saving a lot of money plus a lot of time for many people.
Best of Luck!
Looks good but how does it deal with legal system of various countries? Can it be used just for certain legal framework? Is this available in any language other than english?
Congratulations on the launch, very cool concept, good job by you and your team.
can it help me in any legal area? in what jurisdiction?
good luck in your launch
congrats Nadia. Tome is a great name, and this is probably one of those areas that LLM will overpower. I'm really excited about the future of Tome and will try to use it for my startup in the future.
Congrats on launching! Quick feedback is the landing page is quite information dense and feels a bit cluttered. You did a great job on the screenshots! More whitespace on your landing page might actually increase conversion :)
Thank goodness! No more thousand dollar invoices for answering questions that could be answered by an LLM!
@austin_l_beveridge thanks austin!!! appreciate your support and excited for you to try the product!!
It's one of those things that you need your own lawyer to push the product and push a disclaimer that it's not replacement to a lawyer, no ?
@lior_amsalem Thanks Lior! I'm not sure I understand your question. Anyone can try Tome, lawyers or otherwise. Tome is not a replacement for your lawyer. Think of the work a lawyer does as 90% rote work and 10% judgment. They still bill for 100% of that. Tome replaces the rote work. But by all means rely on a lawyer for their experience-based intuitions and judgment! I'm a lawyer, so I empathize with what's happening to us :)
This is great. I think it would be useful to have high profile legal documents reviewed as examples and blog posts. Like the latest thing with Disney+ and Disney Parks.
Also, what do you consider a “matter”? Is one privacy policy a matter? Or is a startup’s website legal docs a matter?
Nice Effort as the legal works cost so much money. Now we can just write our query and boom got a solution.
Ok, finally! THIS is exactly I want AI to do for me. But correctly, not like that one guy who copied/pasted made up stuff. Thanks so much, this is so great!
