Robin AI raises £8.8m led by Plural to expand its technical team and acquire LawGeex.

"Repetitive legal work is a clear use case for large language models (LLMs) and Robin AI is the leading company to apply this rapidly advancing technology to contract generation and editing. Robin AI has successfully overcome the two major challenges in successfully applying LLMs to this problem: firstly, the high quality bar required for critical commercial legal documents and secondly, the amount of legal contract data required for GPT models to train on. The data problem hasn’t been solved elsewhere because contract data is typically private and offline. Richard and James, Robin AI’s co-founders, combine expertise in law and machine learning and succeeded in solving these challenges. They’ve built a huge proprietary dataset with over 7m data points of legal text, to fine tune Anthropic’s best in class LLM."
