I work at a law firm. Great idea. My initial gut reaction is that to gain traction you’ll need to do ALOT to convince them of the data privacy.

A few suggestions: can they install it on prem? (The LLM “server”) Can they install it in their Azure or AWS tenant? Can it gather data from popular DMS and PMS? On prem and cloud? What about geolocation? Data likely needs to reside in the country of the entity if that country has sophisticated data laws What about things like information barriers - if anything sensitive is going where your teams eyeballs are / permissions allow, how do you deal with that?

Finally as I’m not overly familiar with LLMs I wonder how reliable it is - lawyers will expect perfection and all I hear about LLMs is hallucinations

You top AmLaws. I wouldn't start there. It is very tedious and hard to crack.

There is a beach head of smaller law firms who do not have to go through stringent data security practices. That would be a GTM I'll consider.

Good point, you’re probably right.
These are really great points, and data privacy/security is probably the top concern from big firms. Hosting locally is definitely where this is headed for all the reasons you mentioned
