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.
Huge congrats Tome team! As a very small (one-person) company / fund, this is going to be hugely helpful.
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?”
Looks like a nice AI helper for day-to-day legal questions. Maybe it can even handle bigger cases with high responsibility, but I think, the market need more time to adopt such scenarios. Anyway, it’s always nice to see a new field for AI, so good luck!
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.
Launching soon!
Congratulations on the release. looks like a very useful tool to me. Looking forward to using it.
This sounds interesting, @nadssdssd. I see the potential for democratizing access to legal advice, especially for startups that are often strapped for cash. However, I'm curious about the accuracy of the AI's recommendations. How do you ensure that the guidance provided matches industry standards and legal precedents?
Also, what measures are in place to handle more complex legal issues that may still require human intervention? While I appreciate the focus on NDAs and SAFEs, what happens if a user needs something more extensive? Hope to see how you address these concerns, as well as how you plan to scale this service beyond common contracts in the future!
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.
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?
This is really cool. We remembered the time going to and from for our safe terms with lawyers and asking for correction points. Would love to try and see how good is it when it comes to real world usecases or directly prompting chatgpt.
All the best team! Congratulations on the launch! 🚀
Tome looks game-changing for legal tech! 🚀 Used it for an NDA, and the speed and insights were impressive.
But I've got some questions:
How does Tome handle different legal systems across countries? As someone working with international clients, this is crucial.
Can it adapt to local regulations in various states or provinces within a country?
For global startups, how does it manage conflicting laws between jurisdictions?
Also curious about keeping up with rapidly changing laws and handling complex cases needing human nuance.
Despite these challenges, Tome could be revolutionary if they address these international aspects. Excited to see how it evolves!
@allen_xu1130
Co-founder here. We're not international yet - focused on one thing at a time. I can't wait to help you too!
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?
Wow, this could save so much time and money for startups. Can the AI be customised or trained to align with specific legal preferences or practices of a particular company? Congrats on your launch 🥂
@tea_sakic1 thank you! And absolutely. Company specific playbooks are an enterprise level feature
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.
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!!
Nice Effort as the legal works cost so much money. Now we can just write our query and boom got a solution.
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!
