The world's largest companies pay millions a year for access. Everyone else gets selective coverage and hefty legal bills to half-solve the problem.\r\n\r\nCaribou is the first autonomous tax firm. No lengthy workshops, no months of back-and-fort; connect your finance and HR systems and we graph your business — every entity, process, and employee — into a model we call the Atlas. \r\n\r\nFrom there we check transfer pricing, surface legal risks you didn't know you had, maximise your R&D credits, and monitor for accidental taxes as your shape changes.\r\n\r\nAnd we don't just hand you a report.

We integrated banks across Europe & the US, allowed you to send money globally, and monitor your financial metrics from one dashboard.\r\n\r\n\\\r\nBuilding rebank taught us that companies were going global earlier, and law/accounting firms couldn’t keep up with their cross-border needs.

What made you decide to work on it?", "answer": "The way startups scale has gone global. Even the smallest teams now operate across borders—with a Delaware C-Corp, a UK subsidiary, and contractors in three countries. But the tax system hasn’t kept up. Every multinational, no matter how small, is legally required to follow _transfer pricing_ rules—complex regulations designed for giants like Google and Apple.\r\n\r\nThat means founders suddenly have to deal with one of the most complicated areas of tax, law, and accounting: proving that the way their entities share profits, people, and IP is fair and compliant. Getting it wrong can cost them everything—from lost R&D credits and double taxation to failed funding rounds and audits they can’t afford.\r\n\r\nUntil now, there’s been no solution for this. Big Four firms charge six figures for what early-stage startups need to do, while accountants and lawyers are guessing—or skipping it entirely. We saw founders “flying blind” and leaving huge amounts of cash on the table, not because they didn’t care, but because the system wasn’t built for them.\r\n\r\nCaribou changes that. We automate the hardest parts of transfer pricing by collecting and structuring messy business context with AI. What used to take consultants months now takes minutes, and with greater accuracy.\r\n\r\nWe’re solving this because global ambitions shouldn’t be punished by complexity. Caribou makes international tax compliance simple, affordable, and scalable—so ambitious startups can grow like multinationals, without the pain of becoming one." }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision?

You appoint Firstbase as your registered agent in every state where you operate or have employees, and we receive and view notices from the government, give you reminders about compliance events, and monitor your compliance status in each state, file annual reports, BOI reports, and franchise taxes. We will also help you register and maintain your payroll accounts in any state where you want to hire any employee — this way, you can avoid paying extremely high EOR fees (often around \\~$700/employee/month) and instead hire an employee through your own entity. And, of course, we help you fulfill the legal obligation of having a registered agent in every state where you operate. \\\n\\\nOne huge difference between us and other state compliance providers is that we actually own and operate our own entities in all 50 states as a licensed commercial registered agent. So we have direct contact with the state and don’t have to rely on any third parties for anything.\n\nWhy it’s important: to give an example, if you hire an employee in a new state and need payroll accounts, your payroll tax registration partner will typically work with a network of registered agents in different states and won’t really have control over anything. They’ll often need that third party to sign off on forms, which slows things down and often leads to operational nightmares.\n\nNow, almost 15,000 companies are using Firstbase Agent, and we have decided to do something nice and give part of the functionality **_free of charge_**.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79631&key=user_uploads/604873/0ace0f6e-0c19-40fb-8a7c-5df9da57e478)\n\n\\\nMeet [**_Firstbase Agent Intro_**](https://firstbase.io/agent-intro?utm_source=bookface&utm_medium=organic-social&utm_campaign=bookface_V1) — the simplest way to manage state compliance. We’d love to get your feedback. And again, it’s free.\n\nAgent Intro is designed for founders who currently manage their business compliance outside of the Firstbase platform, and use a different commercial registered agent. Agent Intro includes three awesome features:\n\n1. 📁 **Initial beneficial ownership information (BOI) filing**: The U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network requires all companies to file this on an ongoing basis, and we’ll take care of it for you!\n2. 2\\. 🚥 **Firstbase command center**: Get an instant overview of your compliance status in every state where your business operates.\n3. 3\\. ✅ **State compliance reminders**: We’ll track your deadlines and let you know about any required actions.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79631&key=user_uploads/604873/860e4f94-e0f4-46a7-9185-6d84d5748c93)\n\nNo more scrolling through different state websites to find due dates — we make it easy to track everything in one place.\n\nWe’ll be launching Agent Intro soon, and we would love to see you among its first users!

You either get on a plane to sign in person, take your chances going through a maddening DMV-like experience at the nearest consulate, or pay thousands of dollars to (often questionable) foreign attorneys for signing in your name.\n\nThe risks, hassles, and costs of today’s cross-border document completion process drives many buyers to abandon their purchase halfway through, and forces many other would-be buyers to hold back. On top of stifling the homeownership dreams of buyers, today’s process also costs home sellers, real estate agents and mortgage lenders millions of dollars in lost sales every year.\n\n![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/FpPiykbH8NQkTX3KxSy3oAlLOemXqafh-x66kcjUbyD_pEjzWMJlXEP52n0JR8RdR7bmcO9piJm_DJTlNu-qKSdV3UM1IImfwNaMq1gxl1gbA9tY4sS_hcgzrUztnA759US0RIXp9_2I1Rp4o7clYK0)\n\n\n😌 **The Solution**\n\nWe allow buyers to complete, sign and notarize foreign transaction documents from their computer or mobile phone in just minutes. Ruffo generates the relevant transaction documents and connects the buyer to a notary in the U.S. to sign and notarize online. Ruffo then obtains the required government certifications to ensure that the document is legally valid in the foreign country where it will be used. The end result is a seamless foreign document generation and signature experience that saves the buyer time and money, while helping home sellers, real estate agents and mortgage lenders close more sales in less time.\n\n![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/8jFLBHCCeTIzLl_WorfdtCVagFyAHhQ1so48F_PnKiWNqP4WRGYqt3XfDytJJN3g24y0SrBsnHdoOHbA6lAurJT8zy6k8AtT7aV6V80DODrnooGLEvFFLSqONSZgBECBy1QIdspfRy-yWtYCs25XQQg)\n\n\n**In the words of one of our customers:**\n\n_“I’ve seen the difficulties other US buyers have gone through when trying to complete their documents \\[for the purchase of property abroad\\].

While the standards have helped, we keep hearing how painful the redline process is. The root cause is that contract negotiation is a team sport, but most tools are built for one player.\n\nMost teams end up in one of two camps:\n\n* Every redline goes to the attorney, which is expensive and slows deals down\n* Redlines get triaged first, usually by someone in sales or ops, and contracts are one of 10 things they have on their plate\n\nWhat's missing is a system where AI does the first read, loops in the right people when needed, and pulls all of their feedback into a new draft that can be sent back to the other side. \n\nThat's Gerri.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=99518&key=user_uploads/71220/c7e0519b-5c7b-46d2-8456-3ecbb0a4b5b4)\n\n\n**How it works:**\n\nContracts get into Gerri three ways: upload, forwarded email, or direct inbox scanning. From there:\n\n* Gerri reads every redline against your playbook and automatically accepts, rejects, or counterproposes anything it can handle\n* Anything outside the playbook gets routed to the right person. That might be legal for indemnity questions, finance for payment terms, VP of Sales for commercial terms, etc.\n* Every AI decision cites the specific playbook rule behind it; every human override is logged\n* Gerri edits the Word doc directly and can add comments in your name, explaining the reasoning to the other side\n\nGerri typically reviews contracts before you even know they've arrived. You'll open your inbox, see a contract, and find it's already been handled.\n\n**What's new in 2.0:**\n\n* 10X faster processing engine. 90% of contracts reviewed in under 3 minutes.\n* Any contract type: your paper, their paper, standard or custom agreements\n* Personality Settings: set custom instructions that guide Gerri's behavior across all contracts, without editing individual playbook rules\n* Template Improvement: Gerri analyzes your negotiation history and suggests changes to your outgoing templates that proactively reduce future redlines. The more you use it, the smarter your paper gets.\n* Optional attorney review add-on: flat fee, 4-hour turnaround guarantee, for when you need a human in the loop\n* Available as a standalone product at [getgerri.ai](http://getgerri.ai)  - No other Common Paper subscription required\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=99518&key=user_uploads/71220/304536b5-ce30-400e-8036-e43eb4c63ce3)\n\nTry it free at [getgerri.ai](http://getgerri.ai)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Pt8-gerri-2-0-the-ai-agent-for-contracts-from-common-paper", "votes": 11, "created_at": "2026-04-07T16:48:35.875Z" }, { "id": 94771, "title": "Gerri - The AI Agent for Contract Redlines", "tagline": "Get your contracts reviewed before you even realize they’re in your inbox", "body": "We’re Jake and Ben, co-founders of Common Paper.  We just launched Gerri, the AI agent for redlines. [Try it out here and get three contracts reviewed for free](https://commonpaper.com/product/ai-agent).\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL4nIETkZnY\n\n## Problem\n\nCommon Paper started by creating [standard agreements](https://commonpaper.com/standards/) that have been signed by more than 10,000 companies and used to close more than $100 million dollars in deals. We also make contract management software for customizing, signing, and tracking agreements with customers and partners.\n\nAs companies scale, more and more of their sales teams’ time is spent dealing with contract redlines from their customers.  After talking seeing the problem close up at countless companies, we found that most folks fall into one of two camps:\n\n* Every contract redline gets sent to their attorney, which is expensive and adds delays\n* Nothing gets sent to the attorney, and the founder, sales, ops, or other non-lawyer handles all redlines. This creates a significant risk when they don’t know what they don’t know about risks in contracts\n\nA better approach is to have AI do a first read of each contract and then triage the redlines so that as much as possible is handled automatically, and then if anything remains, assign it to the right person. That’s what we built with Gerri.\n\n## Solution\n\nThere are three ways contracts get into Gerri:\n\n* Upload\n* Forward an email with attachment\n* Have Gerri scan your team’s inboxes for redlined contracts and automatically review them as they come in\n\nOnce Gerri gets a contract, it compares it to your playbook, which contains rules about what you will and won’t accept, how you respond to asks, comments to leave in the doc, etc. Gerri includes a demo playbook to help you get started, and you can chat or answer questions to have Gerri help you generate your own custom rules.\n\nGerri then either\n\n* Responds with a clean contract that’s ready to send back to the other side.  Gerri automatically accepts, rejects, counter-proposes, and leaves comments for the other side.  \n* Flags which redlines can’t be handled automatically, and notifies the right people for them to weigh in. For example, it might be your lawyer for indemnity issues, CS lead for renewal terms, and IT for special security procedures/certifications.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94771&key=user_uploads/71220/c61e5a05-75a4-4f95-a66d-cf4f618bb057)\n\nEach time a human weighs in, they can make a decision for just this one case or have Gerri generate a rule to handle this decision going forward. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94771&key=user_uploads/71220/a1877eb9-5798-4ba5-8b31-eac429cd02b1)\n\nThe end result is your contracts get reviewed before you even realize they’re in your inbox, and deals close faster.\n\n[Check out Gerri and get three contracts reviewed for free. ](https://commonpaper.com/product/ai-agent) \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94771&key=user_uploads/71220/8cd882ae-a79f-4280-8303-da34655ee66b)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/OeZ-gerri-the-ai-agent-for-contract-redlines", "votes": 19, "created_at": "2025-10-20T16:10:06.039Z" }, { "id": 68207, "title": "📃 Common Paper - Faster sales with standard contracts & structured data 📃", "tagline": "Common Paper helps startups close deals with their customers faster and with less risk.

Jake was a co-founder, and Ben was an engineering leader. At that job and others, we were incredibly **frustrated by contract negotiation**. The process was filled with:\n\n* **⏳ Unpredictable delays**\n* **💰 Huge legal bills**\n* **🥽 Extremely limited visibility**\n\nWe realized that founders and go-to-market teams have many of the same problems with sales that were widespread in startup fundraising before the introduction of the SAFE. Each company has a unique sales or procurement contract (and NDA, DPA, etc).  People argue over whose template to use, and **no matter who wins that argument, one side of the deal has to review and negotiate a new contract for the first time**.\n\nThe same basic ideas show up in all contracts about a given type of transaction, but they are expressed totally differently.  As an example, take governing law, one of the simplest terms in most contracts.  These are real examples from four contracts, showing four different ways describe governing law:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=68207&key=user_uploads/71220/b869c8db-5099-478e-855d-b34c5b28bf55)\n\n# Standard Contracts & Structured Data\n\nTo solve this, we looked to the SAFE and other widely used contracts for inspiration and created standard, open-source contracts for buying and selling software, including:\n\n* [Design Partner Agreement](https://commonpaper.com/standards/design-partner-agreement/)\n* [Mutual NDA](https://commonpaper.com/standards/mutual-nda/)\n* [Terms of Service](https://commonpaper.com/standards/terms-of-service/)\n* [Cloud Service Agreement](https://commonpaper.com/standards/cloud-service-agreement/) \n* [Data Processing Agreement](https://commonpaper.com/standards/data-processing-agreement/), [Service Level Agreement](https://commonpaper.com/standards/service-level-agreement/), and more\n\nThese contracts have been downloaded by thousands of companies, are created by a committee of attorneys, and are free to use under a Creative Commons license. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=68207&key=user_uploads/71220/bc9fd4c5-56c8-48ed-8ab2-dd024fa5b974)\n\nUsing standard contracts reduces back and forth, accelerates sales cycles, and makes it easier for everyone involved to understand what the contracts actually mean.\n\nIn addition to the contracts themselves, we’ve built a new kind of [contract management platform](https://commonpaper.com/product/) for startups.  It makes automation, negotiation, and programmatic access to contract data all way faster and easier than ever before. These kinds of tools have traditionally been built for managing unstructured text, and we’ve built Common Paper on top of the **standards and structured data**. \n\n**⌚ 63% of the deals on our platform close within 24 hours ⏲️**\n\nWe also built the [SaaS Agreement Toolkit](https://commonpaper.com/resources/saas-agreement-toolkit), which combines the standard agreements with step by step guides to help founders:\n\n* Choose which contracts to use based on their stage and business model\n* Understand the meaning of different terms within the contracts\n\nThe toolkit also includes a benchmark report based on the real contracts of more than 150 companies, with data on what positions are most common and how different terms influence the odds of getting your contract signed.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=68207&key=user_uploads/71220/b4ae10b3-d5bf-4439-b700-df82cb92e521)\n\nIf you want to shorten your sales cycle, save money, and reduce risk with standardized contracts and a platform that helps eliminate back and forth, [we’d love for you to try us out](https://commonpaper.com/)!", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Hk7-common-paper-faster-sales-with-standard-contracts-structured-data", "votes": 63, "created_at": "2023-01-05T15:31:08.561Z" } ] }, { "id": 28854, "name": "Docsum", "slug": "docsum", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/cbbf3c5f2937adf8242a332b8bfc9fbaa18073e3.png", "website": "https://www.docsum.ai/", "all_locations": "New York City, NY, USA", "long_description": "Docsum is a contract intelligence platform designed for legal and finance teams.

We’re [**Sona**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonasulakian/), [**Mariam**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ms-/), and [**Grey**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/greysteil/)—a team of attorneys, security experts, and AI specialists. We’re on a mission to speed up contract negotiation.\n\n### **❌** Problem\n\n* **Sales negotiations get bottlenecked on legal review**. Sales teams must pause deals while they wait for legal teams to redline and finalize customer agreements.\n* **Unfriendly terms slip through the cracks**. Legal teams can’t ensure that contracts align with company standards _and_ minimize risk when working under time pressure.\n* **Nonstandard language makes understanding your contracts hard.** Lawyers can phrase the same idea in thousands of different ways. At scale, it's difficult to track contract details and negotiation outcomes.\n\n## 💡 Our solution\n\n* **A Word add-in that ensures guidance is available where and when it's needed.** Using the latest large language models, Pincites allows legal teams to build contract playbooks that any internal team can apply consistently within Microsoft Word using our Word add-in. \n* **An AI-powered onboarding flow that turns existing contracts into playbooks.** Simply upload your template, add guidance, and begin redlining. Unlike previous legal tech, manual tagging or model training is unnecessary because Pincites tags clauses based on their semantic meaning.\n\n## **✨** How we help\n\n* **Amplify your legal team’s impact.** Our AI solution surfaces relevant guidance for all teams to quickly review and negotiate contracts using their companies' approved terms. Non-legal teams can securely process contracts, while freeing up legal teams to focus on more critical matters.\n* **Flags key risks for review.** Pincites highlights deviations from your standard language and missing clauses in your contracts. We compare each clause to your standard language, providing insights on variations and associated risk levels. We offer guidance for each variation, ensuring you can align on the right language and conveniently access relevant guidance as you work.\n* **Standardize contracting language and processes.** Pincites serves as a central place for legal teams to define standard guidance that is then embedded in Microsoft Word for easy access by any internal team.\n\n## 🙏 We’re looking to connect with legal teams! \n\n* Refer us to your in-house attorneys at [founders@pincites.com](mailto:sona@pincites.com)\n* Book a 20 minute demo [here](https://calendly.com/pincites/demo)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/J2U-pincites-ai-powered-contract-negotiation", "votes": 28, "created_at": "2023-07-18T19:24:30.580Z" } ] }, { "id": 29201, "name": "Legora", "slug": "legora", "former_names": [ "Leya", "Legora", "Legora (formerly Leya)" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/8ab1e73f4b43c259e677e877d53fe26dfac90b65.png", "website": "https://www.legora.com/", "all_locations": "Stockholm, Stockholm County, Sweden", "long_description": "Legora is redefining how legal work gets done.

Attorneys import legal records of a variety of document formats, types, and sizes. \n\nAbel leverages our proprietary entity extraction to process the documents and uncover a structured representation of the information contained in them. Our extraction pipelines are flexible and can be customized to identify the relevant entities to our customers’ needs, which can include things like: \n\n* The people involved \n* Clauses in agreements \n* Relevant email threads\n* Key legal issues \n* Motions raised at trial\n* Key events that occurred\n\nAttorneys use Abel to explore the extracted entities and to examine the relationships between them.

We take your DD checklist and messy data room, organize it, flag what’s missing, and let your team query everything with AI - so you spend time on analysis, not chasing information.\n\nWe’re live with AmLaw 50 and Chambers Band 1 law firms, top serial acquirers, and leading commercial real estate diligence teams.\n\n\n\n## The Problem\n\nThe hardest part of diligence isn’t reviewing documents - it’s collecting the right information. \n\nDeal teams have no dedicated system for collecting and verifying that disclosures are complete before analysis begins. Instead, they rely on multiple VDRs, Excel trackers, email threads, and one-off AI prompts to figure out what’s been received, what’s missing, and what matters. That process of chasing and structuring information is iterative, time-consuming, and kills deal momentum. \n\nMost AI tools help teams review documents faster. But you can’t review what you don’t have, and you can’t assess risk in documents you don’t know are missing. \n\n## The Solution\n\nTower is the workspace that takes deal teams from first disclosure to answers faster - by fixing collection first, then accelerating review.\n\n**1. Automatically organized data room:** Upload anything, get a fully indexed deal room in minutes. Click any diligence request and see the exact files behind it.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=101268&key=user_uploads/1450770/0ac92ee3-6a92-4b0f-8d35-176aa978f693)\n\n**2. Catch red flags and missing files up front:** Missing amendments, unsigned agreements, stale financials, and expired contracts are flagged within seconds of upload, before anyone wastes review time.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=101268&key=user_uploads/1450770/0e556183-5997-4b8f-b5a1-72fbd4b38bca)\n\n**3. AI document review:** Extract covenants, financial definitions, change-of-control triggers, and rep language across hundreds of documents in one pass. Every answer cited to source.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=101268&key=user_uploads/1450770/36914b9b-402a-4ce1-b78e-b1b3bd0341ab)\n\n**4. Smart diligence Q&A:** Every request, every responder, every status, in one live system, synced with the data room. No more \"what's the latest tracker?\" email threads.\n\n## The Backstory\n\nOur team spent years on the wrong end of messy data rooms - burning weeks organizing and chasing disclosures before real review could begin. We watched deals stall and sour because of it. Tower is the system we wished we had on every one of those deals. \n\nNoah is a former M&A and tech lawyer at Dentons, where he co-led the AI industry practice and advised top Canadian startups. Andy was an ML quant at a $27B pension fund and founding engineer at NRN Agents. Adam was an early engineer at one of Canada's fastest-growing fintechs, and worked on data science in manufacturing at Apple.\n\n## Our ask\n\n* Warm intros to M&A partners at AmLaw 200 firms, corp dev leads at PE/strategics, and CRE acquisitions teams.\n* Working on a deal?

We allow business leaders validate their intuitions against their company’s data — with their just their voice, you can go from a raw idea to an evidence-backed answer. They can even see a reproducible step-by-step process and underlying data behind it — all in a few in minutes. Have a look at our [launch video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrOwutgKsEA).\\\n\\\nAfter working with a bunch of larger companies, we learned something important: some of the most valuable questions are not the ones people plan dashboards for. They're the spontaneous ones, the realizations that you have mid-conversation... the \"wait a minute…\" moments.\n\nHere’s an example that many of us have encountered at some point: let's say you're talking to a customer, and they say \"_you know we've really struggled to figure out how to solve X at our company. Is that something you can help us with?_\" They might explain why X is hard, and you'd go back and forth a little.\n\nThen you wonder, at some point — is this just them, or have others said the same thing? Has anyone else on your 200-person GTM team heard of _X_ before? The signal is buried across massive email threads, Gong transcripts, Slack threads, and CRM notes — there’s no way to know quickly.\n\nSo this intuition fades. Perhaps you’re able to help that customer in a one-off way, but you don’t see the broader pattern.\n\nWe built Overstand to solve for this exact gap — the crevices where data collection has traditionally failed to help you. The spurious thought that you might’ve had.\n\nYou articulate your intuition in plain language — \"_show me all instances of a customer indicating they're struggling with X._\" Overstand builds an entire data pipeline on top of your company's comms + hard data and surfaces the underlying examples that answer your questions — in just a few minutes. From there you can drill down: ask follow-ups to hone in on specific instances, chart the results over time or pull everything into a single context to discuss what was found. You can even action each result individually — sending contextually-crafted emails to each customer who mentioned _X_.\n\nAll of this, with just your computer or phone (and you can even do it with your voice — we call it _speech-to-data-pipeline_).\n\nMost enterprise tools are built around questions you already know to ask. Overstand is built around the ones you didn't plan for.\n\nIf you're running GTM, CS, or product at a company with real customer volume and this problem sounds familiar — we'd love to talk.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=98764&key=user_uploads/1993194/7ad71368-31a7-4dca-aa7c-9139d83f452a)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Pgy-overstand-a-personal-data-team-for-execs", "votes": 8, "created_at": "2026-03-19T20:31:17.415Z" }, { "id": 87277, "title": "Overstand – Unlock Founder Mode with Real-Time Customer Insights", "tagline": "Know where your company needs you most", "body": "[Overstand](https://www.overstandlabs.com/) is a single platform and API that helps business leaders unlock \"founder mode\" by providing real-time insights from all customer communications—Slack, email, WhatsApp, call recordings, and more.\\\n\\\n**The problem:** As companies grow, it becomes harder for leaders to stay deeply connected to their customers.

Anyone pursuing a work or immigrant visa will tell you about the difficulties of lottery systems, exorbitant fees, and endless paperwork. \n\nAt Parley, we believe an important piece to fixing this process is **automating work for immigration firms.** For some visa types, a lawyer or legal writer spends several days writing a single application, learning about the most complex and technical professions, collating hundreds of pages of evidence, and synthesizing it all into a cohesive petition. Meanwhile, an applicant eagerly waits for their opportunity. By helping lawyers work better on a daily basis, we hope to accelerate Parley’s speed to impact — reducing the complexity of immigration.\n\n**✍️ The Solution** \n\nParley makes immigration processes easier. Our first product, the O-1A Writer, helps **immigration attorneys speed write a petition** while keeping them in the loop. As a lawyer does the critical thinking in specifying what argument they want to make, our writer dynamically pulls content from an applicant's evidence, fits that material to the context of the application, and automatically drafts a petition for review. We do this all directly in Microsoft Word — where most attorneys spend their time writing. We’re quickly expanding support for more visa types like the H-1B, TN, EB-1, EB-2 NIW, L-1, and more.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=81798&key=user_uploads/410497/9ed0f8d6-b11f-48a8-acc1-3a6d50fb74df)\n\n**Asks:** \n\n* Want to use the product? **Book a demo **[**here**](https://calendly.com/philip-parley/15min)**.**\n* **Been through a visa process?** Reach out to us and tell us about your journey at [founders@parley.so](mailto:founders@parley.so) - we’d love to talk!\n* **Like what we’re building?** Share this post!

By using AI to understand the inventive aspects of patents and automate the creation of work products, we enable attorneys to instantly and comprehensively find prior art, produce robust claim language, invalidate weak patents, and more.\n\n### ❌ The Problem\n\nImagine a law firm is tasked with determining the strength of a patent or set of patent claims. This is an everyday problem for patent attorneys and could be for anything from a patent application to an IP litigation case. \n\nTo start, the attorneys need to conduct a prior art search. Typically, either:\n\n1. The attorneys meet with an outsourced search provider and give them their claims and features of interest. After a week or two, the provider returns with 5-10 reasonable documents, charging up to $10k.\n2. The attorneys manually use boolean keyword searches through databases like Google Patents and decades-old legal research platforms. Over the course of 10-20 billed hours, they have found 5-10 reasonable documents.\n\nIn either case, they have already contributed a massive amount of resources to this project without much validation that they are going in the right direction.\n\nWith their prior art in hand, the attorneys must evaluate the claims with respect to the art. This involves drafting work products like claim charts, which require several read-throughs of each document to identify and map the relevant language over the course of 20-40 billed hours. By now, the attorneys should have a good idea of the strength of the claims, whether they need to be revised, and whether they may be invalid.\n\n**What if they haven’t found the invalidating art?** They repeat the process. Over and over again, for every patent, for every case. Due diligence can continue almost indefinitely, and it’s only limited by attorney time and client budgets.\n\n### ✅ The Solution\n\nNow, imagine the law firm is using &AI. **Upon receiving the patent or claims, they find the invalidating prior art and export comprehensive claim charts in seconds!** &AI enables both attorneys and inventors to conduct their patent due diligence at a speed, scale, and quality that has never before been possible.\n\nIn minutes, we can analyze and compare the inventive aspects of thousands of patents, allowing attorneys to spend less time on tedious work and more time developing their arguments. \n\nWe’ve built our platform to be broadly applicable and easy to use. Users can leverage our AI for patent applications, responses to office actions, and invalidity, with use cases of freedom to operate, infringement, and portfolio analysis coming soon.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=81893&key=user_uploads/1438386/a4381771-c0b5-4b35-9acf-72f3b6ab7183)\n\n### 🤲 The Ask\n\nWe’re actively looking to onboard more tech-forward law firms and company in-houses working with patents.

Our users converse with the AI over a phone call for 3-4 hours everyday while they’re working_.\n\n### **The Cost of ADHD** \n\nWe’re starting by focusing on people that struggle with ADHD\n\n**People with ADHD consider it the BIGGEST blocker in their life and the PRIMARY cause of their poor grades, missing promotions, and getting fired.**\n\n* 17 million adults and children in the US\n* 2-4 more hours wasted every day compared to peers\n\nBeyond ADHD, there are 80 Million people knowledge workers in high income countries that struggle with workplace productivity that FocusBuddy will serve\n\n### **How Focus Buddy helps our user Jeff**\n\nJeff is a brilliant product engineer who has ADHD. He often struggles to complete work due to his tendency to hyper-focus on details and get distracted by sudden impulses. Here is what Jeff's new workflow looks like since he started using FocusBuddy: \n\nJeff calls Focus Buddy first thing in the morning after breakfast. They go over his to-do list together and create a schedule for his day. Jeff then begins his first task - writing a draft PRD. He explains his approach to FocusBuddy and asks for frequent check-ins to keep him on track. \n\nAn hour into drafting, Jeff notices a small discrepancy in a user activity chart. His ADHD brain latches onto this detail, and he spends the next 30 minutes hyper-focusing on it, losing sight of the bigger picture. Just then, FocusBuddy speaks up: \"How's it going?\" Jeff explains: \"He is still figuring out the details on the chart\" FocusBuddy detects that Jeff has been hyper-focusing on a detail and helps Jeff realize that he is falling behind on schedule with more important parts of the PRD.\n\nFocus Buddy then works with Jeff to wrap up work on the chart discrepancy and reorganize his schedule to come back to the chart later in the day. They then do a 5-minute meditation to shift his focus away from the discrepancy and ease his mind back onto the main task. At the end of the day, FocusBuddy helps Jeff perform a daily reflection and prepare for his day tomorrow.\n\nJeff and our other users experience multiple types of interventions by Focus Buddy every single day and attribute their new-found productivity to it.\n\n### **Why Focus Buddy works**\n\nToday, people with ADHD spend hours every day virtually co-working on apps like Focusmate, updating to-do lists, using meditation apps like Calm, and journaling with little success. It is extremely hard to keep these apps updated, they have very little context about you and are unable to proactively provide timely support when needed. \n\nFocus Buddy is deeply integrated, is seamless to interact with, builds a lot of context over time and is able to leverage this context at critical moments to provide the necessary support.\n\nOn top of that, our voice AI infrastructure is revolutionising the way humans and AI interact. we're crafting an entirely new paradigm for fluid, natural conversations that feel as intuitive as talking to another person. Here are some examples:\n\n[**Multimodal Voice + Text Conversation**](https://youtu.be/d4FpwMfz_Ow)\n\n[**Proactive AI Initiated Check-ins**](https://youtu.be/XOgYMysjZ10)\n\n### **Our Team**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83816&key=user_uploads/650126/d303db31-ba55-407a-a001-09b86bbe9aa3)\n\n[Adnan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/adnan-sherif-as/) and [Yash](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yashmr/) have been best friends for over a decade, roommates for the last two years, and worked on the Google Pixel team as a Product Manager and ML Engineer. Yash led product and safety for Generative AI apps on the latest Pixel phone, while Adnan worked on training and deploying low-latency, resource-constrained, fully on-device Gemini models used by these apps.\n\nAdnan is a national triple jump champion, and prior to Google, he conducted AI research at UC Berkeley’s SkyLab with Ion Stoica (co-founder of Databricks), focusing on scaling graph machine learning to problems with millions of nodes. Yash has worked at startups like Kalshi and Relay, helping them from pre-launch to launch.\n\nAdnan learned to manage the ADHD symptoms he faced throughout high school and college and went on to help others cope with the same condition.\n\n# **Our Asks**\n\nReach out to us at [founders@focusbuddy.ai](mailto:founders@focusbuddy.ai) to learn more and sign up on our website to try us out and give us feedback.

He applied for 4 patents while he was there. After spending way too much time talking to the IP team, he realized that they hold 50,000 patents with a team of \\~10 people to defend them.\n\nA little background: a **patent costs** around **$50k** to obtain and maintain. $17k is non-negotiable, paid directly in fees. That means their **portfolio costs $850M** to **$2.5B**. The best part is that they, and pretty much every company in the world, rely on Googling competitors and sending salespeople to trade shows to hear about new products that could be infringing. This whole **portfolio** is **making** little to **no revenue.**\n\nI guess you can see why we started building this right away.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94773&key=user_uploads/1250636/63eddfc4-bbda-4f22-b80e-7d4f0f15ced3)\n\n_Can you tell we’re brothers?_\n\n**Solution**\n\nSuper simplified to keep it easy to understand:\n\n✅ We let companies upload their patents and get a list of claim charts showing what **products are infringing and how**, in 20 minutes instead of months.\n\n✅ When companies get sued, they can **use us to find counter litigation**, since the person suing them is most likely infringing on some of the patents they hold too.\n\n✅ The most common way to get these cases thrown out of court is by considering a patent invalid. That means there is some proof, like other patents, research papers, or products that existed before your patent was filed. We find all these and **confirm your patents will hold up in court.**\n\nThere is more, but you can consider this our “core”.\n\n**Proof**\n\nAs you can imagine, pretty much everyone we work with has us under NDA. What I can tell you is that we work with private inventors up to Fortune and Global 500 companies.\n\n**Why now?**\n\nOf course, AI …\n\nBut also, the US Patent Office is tightening the rules for challenging patents in its review court.

Lawyers bring their expertise, judgment, and client relationships. We provide the technology and business infrastructure that lets them launch a new practice or transform an existing one.\n\n\n\n\\\n**The problem**\\\nLawyers spend surprisingly little of their time doing work that requires their unique expertise.\\\n\\\nRunning a practice means finding clients, managing intake, hiring staff, handling billing, overseeing marketing, and keeping the business moving. Small firms burn lawyer hours on it; large firms hire entire teams to manage this. Either way, it kills time or margins.\\\n\\\nThe legal work itself is still built around lawyers producing everything. Lawyers spend hours turning raw information into research, analysis, and first drafts, even as AI becomes capable of producing much of that work. Existing legal software makes individual tasks faster, but leaves the underlying model unchanged.\\\n\\\nWe think that model should flip. AI should produce the first pass. Lawyers should direct, review, decide, and advocate.\n\n**How we solve it**\\\nErinys provides the infrastructure for lawyers to operate this way from the ground up.\\\n\\\nFor lawyers starting a practice, we help launch it. For lawyers with an existing practice, we help transition it onto the same model.\\\n\\\nOur systems run the business behind the practice while AI assists with fact development, legal research, analysis, and drafting under attorney supervision.\\\n\\\nThe result is a firm where lawyers spend more time exercising judgment and serving clients, and less time producing routine work or managing the day-to-day mechanics.\\\n\\\nOne exceptional lawyer can operate with the capabilities that previously required a much larger organization.\\\n\\\n**Why us**\\\nMost legal AI is being built to make the traditional law firm more efficient. We are building the infrastructure for a different kind of law firm, AI-native at its foundation.\n\nBefore Erinys, our founding team worked in offensive security, another high-stakes, sensitive, and deeply adversarial environment. We are bringing that security-first mindset to an industry entrusted with its clients’ most sensitive information.\n\n**Our Ask**\n\nWe’re looking for exceptional lawyers.\n\nIf you want to start your own practice, or already have one and want to make it AI-native, we want to talk.\n\nEmail us at [founders@erinys.ai](mailto:founders@erinys.ai) or visit [erinys.ai](http://erinys.ai)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/SaE-erinys-building-the-first-network-of-ai-native-law-firms", "votes": 19, "created_at": "2026-08-10T01:00:00.375Z" } ] }, { "id": 32319, "name": "Tarifflo Inc.", "slug": "tarifflo-inc", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/5f3acf13919479f5ac3643cb85da39ab63c49903.png", "website": "https://www.tarifflo.com", "all_locations": "Salt Lake City, UT, USA", "long_description": "Tarifflo is the infrastructure layer for modern customs - AI-powered filing, tariff recovery, and customs intelligence on one platform.\r\n\r\nFiling should be free.

Client data lives in tools that don’t talk to each other, and legal assistants copy data from one system to another and chase documents by email for weeks. To keep up, law firms hire more assistants.\n\nThis is how costs grow with every new client, and the firm still moves slowly. Replies slow down, follow-ups slip, and clients go to the law firm that serves them first. One firm told us it loses at least $350k a year in clients this way.\n\n**Product**\n\nAt [Praxis](https://runpraxis.ai/), we’ve built AI agents that run law firm operations, from first inquiry to paid invoice. Agents do the admin end to end, and the lawyer supervises and approves every step.\\\n\\\nHere’s how it works:\n\n* **Win:** every inquiry answered in minutes, qualified against your rules and conflict-checked, with the engagement letter drafted for your approval.\n* **Onboard:** client data and documents collected and verified at upload. Missing or outdated ones are chased automatically, so work starts in days, not weeks.\n* **Run:** tasks tracked, clients and counterparties chased for the next step, and the client follows progress live in their portal.\n* **Get paid:** invoices are sent, tracked and chased until paid.\n\nFirms reply faster, stop paying people to copy-paste, and spend their time practicing law.\\\n\\\n➡️ **Sign up to get early access to Praxis today at [runpraxis.ai/waitlist](https://runpraxis.ai/waitlist).**\n\n\\\n**Market & timing**\n\nLegal is a \\~$1T services market that's still only 4% software. Every knowledge industry we've digitized flipped that ratio. Legal hasn't yet.\n\nThe first AI wave (Harvey, Legora) created huge market excitement around AI for law firms, but they went after the legal work at large firms: contract review and drafting. Client operations at small and mid-sized firms remain underserved and incumbents like Clio or 8am struggle to become fully AI-native.\n\n**About Us**\n\nWe’re a team of builders who’ve scaled fast-growing startups and worked hands-on with law firms. We believe lawyers shouldn’t be buried in low-value work. They should make the judgment calls, while clients feel every bit of the speed. 💨\n\n**— [Diana](https://www.linkedin.com/in/diana-khramina/), CEO.** Scaled Gorgias's AI Agent from 0 to 1,000+ paying customers in under a year, and worked with law firms at McKinsey.\n\n**— [Maxence](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mguegnol/), CTO.** AI & Data Engineer at Uber and BlaBlaCar, companies serving 100+ million people and he comes from a family of lawyers.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=122246&key=user_uploads/1081032/d806f71c-3888-429e-b484-22c466c8448b)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Vni-praxis-ai-agents-that-run-law-firm-operations-from-first-inquiry-to-paid-invoice", "votes": 8, "created_at": "2026-10-15T16:00:00.155Z" } ] } ]
