A: Hey! Did you hear about Harvey? It's that AI legal thing, right?
B: Oh yeah! I think I saw something about it. What’s up?
A: Well, they just bought a company called Hexus. It's all about making videos and guides.
B: Wow, seriously? That’s interesting! What does that even *do*?
A: Apparently, Hexus helps them build things for legal departments. The founder, Sakshi, used to work at big companies like Google and Walmart.
B: That’s impressive! So, she’s joining Harvey now?
A: The US team already did! The India team will join when they open an office in Bangalore.
B: Cool, expanding internationally!
A: They got a lot of money recently too – like, $160 million! Now they’re worth $8 billion!
B: Eight *billion*?! That's crazy!
A: Yeah! They're really growing fast because there’s so much competition in the legal tech world.
B: So, how did Harvey even start?
A: It’s a funny story! One of the founders emailed Sam Altman at OpenAI. He was just a lawyer then!
B: No way! That's like a movie plot!
A: They tested GPT-3, that AI thing, and lawyers loved the answers! That's when they knew they were onto something.
B: Amazing! So, Harvey’s helping lawyers a lot, huh?
A: Definitely! They have over 1,000 clients now, all over the world. Even the big law firms in the US are using them!
B: That's huge! Legal AI is really taking off, isn't it?
