Exactly right - they end up forgetting to toggle the switches. And this is one of the big problems with most timekeeping systems today. Easy as it might be to click these buttons, it is easily forgotten and messed up.

Trend toward fixed-fee is interesting here. Something to keep an eye on.

At this point, we've actually been generating narratives with a lot of detail (and the attorneys will frequently edit our narratives to pare them down). So long as we are smart about data collection, we have what we need to be sufficie

Yeah, there is definitely this trend toward fixed-fee work. We're interested to see how it evolves over the next 10 years (and how PointOne might be able to help with work that is not billed by the hour).

This is very interesting. We have thought about a few of these ideas and will continue to mull over the others. At a high level, I could imagine provenance being less important but time savings through automation to be highly important. Lov

Tenths is interesting! And you're totally right. "On the go" time tracking can be quite tough. On mobile, we're currently focused on legal workflows, but other applications are compelling.

Really cool that you've seen this space up close! It's definitely a hard problem. With recent improvements to these large models, we're able to get solid accuracy (which, as you alluded to, is very important). Often, users wi

In the wake of a lot of upset in reaction to confusing ESG scores and fraudulent carbon credit markets, I wanted access to straightforward, truly green assets. To that end, I am working on this product, which aims to give everyday investors
