Imagine the PRD. “Our target user is copyright infringers. Here are the goals.”
Imagine a world where you could copy/paste websites into editable Figma layers (jk you don’t have to imagine you can do this now with our Chrome extension)

Branding is back.
We’re thrilled to lead Town’s $55M Series A.
Town is a personal AI assistant that works across the tools you already use - email, calendar, Slack, docs, WhatsApp, desktop, web. It learns how you work and starts proactively pitching in.
People are already leaning on Town for the kind of work that’s personal and operationally messy: running recruiting pipelines, juggling school logistics, processing handwritten grant requests, prepping summaries, drafting follow-ups, catching the stuff that would otherwise slip.
The longer you use it, the more it picks up: your voice, your relationships, your preferences, your routines, what you actually care about.
Jean-Denis Greze and Tony Vincent are the right team for something this hard. JDG was CTO at Plaid and an engineering leader at Dropbox. Tony led product and AI at Google and design at Dropbox.
Welcome, JDG, Tony, and the Town team, to the a16z family.I

I thought law school helped bring clarity to my writing until I worked at an elite litigation firm. The number of times my drafts got completely destroyed without a single embellishment was truly humbling and exactly what I didn't know I needed.
Refined in the fire.

The most important component of writing clearly is simply to have high standards for clarity. Then if you write something unclear, you notice, and ask: what did I mean to say? You can just keep doing this over and over. And if you have high standards for clarity, you will.

Today, Claude Opus 4.7 told me they're a lawyer. On the scale of 1 to bad hallucination, this is a bad hallucination.

I’m not technical enough to sniff out whether this is just VC pump narrative so all these companies can make them believe their super special data can make a super special model so their valuation can be extra super special.
Or if this is just cope.
I’m genuinely curious.

Would love to hear this guy’s definition of “proprietary” intelligence.

Harvey is a great example of a company carving out a strong competitive position by building proprietary intelligence
We had a great experience teaming up with them to support their new Legal Agent Benchmark with post-training and eval methodology
Thanks @gabepereyra for visiting during our team all-hands today to break down what proprietary intelligence looks like in law!

Everyday in legaltech is like a train wreck and then Megatron emerges from the wreck and gives every lawyer new tech.

My 7 year old hates when I listen to grownup podcasts, until yesterday when I put on @FoundersPodcast’s Shoe Dog episode. Left the car and she sheepishly smirks at me:
“… okay that was pretty interesting.”
I’ll take the W.

The more AI can do a craft, the more the analog version of it is worth, both to the individual and to the craft as a whole.
Writing on paper, playing an instrument, spoken word.
Feels like humanity overcorrected and we're now rediscovering where value sits in this new world.

My favorite AI trend is the guy screaming about A GAMECHANGING AI VIDEO EDITING TOOL but the video he’s sharing wasn’t edited with it.
And when you ask, he doesn’t respond.

May or may not be influenced by the recent open source boom, but this is invariably a great thing for the space. More open standards, more open cores, more open source.
Legaltech finally starting to look like what we dreamed about a decade ago.

On April 21, we challenged lawyers from all over the world to spend an afternoon building real, production-ready skills with Claude Cowork.
5 hours. 200 lawyers. 10 countries. 13 completed projects producing new legal AI skills.
Every skill is live on our showcase site at go.heycounsel.com/hackathons

Whatever happened to Ironclad?
They’re sitting on a honeypot of dream data LLMs should make insanely valuable: every contract, every clause, every negotiation pattern, every approval trail.
But somehow the legal AI conversation moved on without them. Wild.

This weekend felt like a shift. Docuseal resurfaced to challenge Docusign. MikeOss is already being forked into jurisdiction-specific versions and local deployments. The question for lawyers and clients is getting sharper.
What are we paying for?
