It aims to provide models that “surpass everything that is currently used by legal technology practitioners today”.
(Meanwhile, in other financing news, Marqvision, an IP platform fueled by the AI, has picked up a 48 million dollars’ series financing cycle, to date its total funding at 90 million dollars. Salesforce Ventures and combinator have participated, among others.)
On the right, back to Isaacus…. The Australian company said that its mission was to provide “models of fundamental and sovereign fundamental legal”. At the base of Isaacus, which they describe as a massive and owner blackstone corpus, which covers the laws, regulations, business and other legal data from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the EU and the United Nations. ” And this is what feeds the construction of their AI legal foundation models.
Isaacus directly publishes his models via a public API, they noted, and stressed that ‘Isaacus built first for legal technology companiesBut also consults non -legal AI companies as well as law firms and large companies with the need for sovereign legal capacities ”.

Well, the two questions are open to the debate. One thing is certain, most legal technology companies speak to use several models, often at the same time. Adding additional people to the mixture, perhaps personalized to their needs, can improve the results. In this case, why not the opportunity?
They add that they manage an industry partnership program and wish to accommodate pioneers of legal technology to join. You can find more on The company here.
