Who would pay for this?

Random people like you and me wouldn't pay for something they're gonna use twice in their lifetime, and lawyers surely have something like this, possibly integrate with all the other tools they use.




> lawyers surely have something like this

Not a lawyer and not familiar with their systems but based on my knowledge of other industries I’d say it’s not guaranteed they have a solution.

Could be good ol sticky notes and manual calendar events.


Yeah, check out docketbird. Also, noticed attorneys already automatically get all ECF filings.


This is really really naive.


I do love it when people say "I am not familiar with this situation at all but" and then proceed to speculate about it having made clear they have no basis for their speculation.

I would pay for a comprehensive AI-driven service that delivers alerting on any topic. Google alerts SUCKS for so many reasons.

I might not be aware of other services though so if anyone is – please enlighten me!


Hadn't considered the role that AI could play in such a service. But now think that it could be a great application.

Speaking to my AI: "computer, please create me a Google Doc that gets updated with new results related to the legal case of Joan Donovan vs Harvard, and notify me via email with updates."

I'd probably do something like that a few times a week. It's really a missing link to my news experience.


How silly of me to not consider that lawyers might have something - considering that my GF is an attorney.


Why does it need to be paid?
