Its legal copilot, available as a Microsoft Word add-in, can cut the time it takes to review contracts by 85%, allowing businesses’ legal teams to move faster, save money and invest their time more strategically. Earlier this year, the company became one of Anthropic’s launch partners for the release of their Large Language Model (LLM), Claude. Robin AI operates a hybrid model that combines the Claude LLM with its own proprietary contract data (from over 2 million contracts) and machine learning techniques to read and understand contracts. An in-house team of legal professionals, or lawyers-in-the-loop, helps to further refine the model to ensure the highest levels of quality and accuracy. The company serves a diverse range of customers from large multinational corporations to SMEs and scaleups. 03/01/2024
