Law firms are pouring money into AI tools that promise to reshape how lawyers work.
Legora, the Swedish startup chasing Harvey's lead in selling AI software to law firms, has hit $100 million in annual recurring revenue, a milestone that shows law firms are willing to spend serious money to retool how lawyers work.
Legora told Business Insider exclusively that it went from $1 million to $100 million in ARR — the revenue a company expects to collect over a year — in less than 18 months after its public launch.
The company's software promises to help lawyers tear through data rooms, compare contracts, draft briefs, and do other legal work faster and at lower cost than junior lawyers.
"This is a reflection of how quickly our customers are pushing the industry forward," Max Junestrand, Legora's cofounder and CEO, said in a statement.
Legora's revenue could help explain why investors just priced it at $5.55 billion in a new financing, but it still leaves legal AI rival Harvey out in front. That company, which was last valued at $11 billion, said last week it had crossed $200 million in ARR, and it remains deeply embedded among the biggest law firms.
Legora says it now serves over 1,000 customers, including Cleary Gottlieb, HSF Kramer, White & Case, and Linklaters.

How AI Is Changing PTSD Recovery — And Why It Matters
<h2> The Silent Epidemic </h2> <p>PTSD affects over 300 million people worldwide. In Poland alone, an estimated 2-3 million people live with trauma-related disorders — and most never seek help. The reasons are universal: stigma, cost, waitlists that stretch for months, and the sheer difficulty of walking into a therapist's office when your nervous system screams <em>danger</em> at every social interaction.</p> <p>I know this because I built ALLMA — an AI psychology coach — not from a business plan, but from personal need.</p> <h2> What Traditional Therapy Gets Right (And Where It Falls Short) </h2> <p>Let me be clear: AI doesn't replace therapists. A good therapist is irreplaceable. But here's what the data shows:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Average wait time</strong> for a psychiatrist in Polan
How I Started Using AI Agents for End-to-End Testing (Autonoma AI)
<p>I’ve been thinking a lot about how broken testing workflows feel right now.</p> <p>Most of the time, writing end-to-end tests is slow, brittle, and honestly kind of painful. You write selectors, they break when the UI changes, and suddenly half your tests are useless.</p> <p>Recently, I came across Autonoma AI, and it feels like a completely different approach.</p> <p>Instead of writing test scripts, you just describe what you want in plain English.</p> <p>Something like:<br> “Open the login page, enter credentials, and verify the dashboard loads.”</p> <p>And that’s it.</p> <p>Autonoma handles:</p> <p>Running tests on real browsers and devices<br> Detecting elements using AI instead of fragile selectors<br> Automatically fixing tests when UI changes (self-healing)</p> <p>That last part

Stop Accepting BGP Routes on Trust Alone: Deploy RPKI ROV on IOS-XE and IOS XR Today
<p>If you run BGP in production and you're not validating route origins with RPKI, you're accepting every prefix announcement on trust alone. That's the equivalent of letting anyone walk into your data center and plug into a switch because they said they work there.</p> <p>BGP RPKI Route Origin Validation (ROV) is the mechanism that changes this. With 500K+ ROAs published globally, mature validator software, and RFC 9774 formally deprecating AS_SET, there's no technical barrier left. Here's how to deploy it on Cisco IOS-XE and IOS XR.</p> <h2> How RPKI ROV Actually Works </h2> <p>RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure) cryptographically binds IP prefixes to the autonomous systems authorized to originate them. Three components make it work:</p> <p><strong>Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs
Claude Code's Source Didn't Leak. It Was Already Public for Years.
