  Watch our exclusive interview with Katie Burke, Chief Operating Officer at Harvey.Harvey is growing fast. Super fast. They have #raised over $1B at $11B valuation.Coming from experience working with a well-known #sports team and athletes, we started by discussing whether building at Harvey feels more like extended sprints or a true marathon.An interesting fact, is that Harvey already runs ~25,000 #agents (!) and as such we discussed the #LongHorizon agents, and their potential taking law firms to the next level.With so many agents in the loop, much of the work still depends on close collaboration with #humans. That led us to explore the idea of “human-in-the-loop” in the #legal space, and the potential friction that comes with it.We then moved on to discuss their #SharedSpaces product and how it is transforming the way in-house legal teams work.Other interesting subjects we covered:- Do we still need lawyers in this new era of compute?- The future of AI-native companies- The concept of “service-as-software”And what #book did Katie recommend us to read? 📚🔄⏳Check our new website:https://www.boardroomclub.netRegister for our newsletterhttps://boardroomclub.substack.comInterviewers: Yossi Garmazi & Jason Woolf#ai #tech #law #music #SaulGoodmanChapters:0:00 Harvey Mission00:33 Intro1:29 Pro sports performance & Tech3:11 From Hubspot to Harvey5:24 Harvey & Running7:15 25,000 Agents in Harvey9:47 Agents Vs Humans11:27 Harvey hiring philosophy14:27 Harvey Shared Spaces Product16:40 Torys Partnership & What's next for Harvey18:30 No more Lawyers?20:36 Competition with AI Models23:02 Successful AI company in 10 years26:28 Harvey' Service-as-a-Software playbook28:41 How failing the LSAT altered her career path31:52 Applying NHL leadership philosophies34:22 Non-family mentors who heavily influenced her life35:45 Advice for Founders37:26 Hobbies38:12 Alternative Career39:13 Ideal coffee date39:51 Books and Movies
