       | Honestly this is very interesting to me. Legal firms are firms
       | that handle probably the most sensitive data there is other than
       | privacy data which is usually encrypted. I was wondering how
       | enterprise adoption would happen and whether it would happen
       | internally or they would buy from a provider but it seems like
       | they already sold to a firm like Allen and Overy which is huge.
       | 
       | Do you think there is a similar opportunity in financial
       | institutions like investment banks and government agencies?

         | What is privacy data, and what do you mean it's usually
         | encrypted? Tons of entities have access to raw personal data of
         | pretty much everyone in the world.
         | 
         | "Legal" data could be anything -- from public records of a
         | court, to extremely sensitive legal advice discussing perceived
         | legal violations that is subject to the attorney-client
         | privilege.
         | 
         | What does Harvey actually do? Sounds like it's sort of like
         | ChatGPT but with more privacy/security promises?
