    Second paragraph:

    > API customers including Harvey and Legora will be able to build on Astra for Law, bringing this intelligence into their own products and workflows.

    In other words: "no, no, we're not eating our children to prep for the IPO. Don't worry."

      If there is any cartel that deserves to be broken its legal search. May they die a miserable death.

        Yeah, it should be freely available, you have to be able to know the rules you&#x27;re supposed to obey in order to obey them well. I&#x27;ve been making a free API for US law search, you can point whatever model you want at it: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;law.agentlookups.ai&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;law.agentlookups.ai&#x2F;

        Very much a work in progress, only federal and state so far, no municipal codes yet, and no case law yet. Big hole, I know. Also working on making the search ranking work better.

          is there a dataset&#x2F;torrent with all the underlying laws?

            Right now it&#x27;s just a bunch of crawlers for the individual states. If there&#x27;s interest, I could periodically stand up snapshot torrents or something. That something you&#x27;d be interested in?

            Alternatively, if someone else knows an all-in-one option that exists, I wouldn&#x27;t mind retiring those crawlers...
