(00:00):
This is Ari Gablin at the 1225 Corporate Legal Operations Consortium Global Institute.

(00:07):
You know Austin Holian, Director of Marketing for Clara,
Brian Kives, Director of Legal Operations and Litigation Sport,
Philip Morath International.
Hi, my name is Charles Post and Executive Vice President at Simplify.
This is David Blase, I'm the Chief Revenue Officer for TruthOrly.ai.
James Ferguson-Bahan Enterprise AE at Deepel.

(00:30):
My name is Anal Patel, I'm the CEO of Doctors.
I'm Jessica Kering, I'm the Vice President of Legal Innovation and Strategic Partnerships at Quaddeck.bada.ai.
Hi, my name is Kathleen Hoffman, I'm an Account Executive at Legal Mation.
My name is Lorie Euruch, I'm the CLO at Dioptress.
Mark Redmay, Senior Director of Legal Services on GCDI.

(00:51):
My name is Sam Kidd, I am co-founded CEO at OVU.
My name is Sean McTorrague, CEO and co-founder of Doxon.
I'm Tim Brady, the CEO of Clegoff.
Tim Proud, Head of Sales at Prompt Armor.
I was your first experience at the Clock of Lundgren.
What was the response to the lessons that you were sharing?

(01:12):
Are contracts still a significant pain point for legal operations teams?
How effective is AI in detecting testimony veracity?
How is AI affecting translations?
What contract challenges have people been describing to you?
You are the most common questions you received at Clock.
What's most interesting to Tim D's purpose to build AI?

(01:37):
Conquette, contract challenges are legal operations teams trying to address.
Why does your team come to Clock?
What's the value of illegal workspots?
What's the most common aspect of contract intelligence?
What's your impression of this year's Clock Global Institute?
What questions are you hearing about?
Security is related to the general AI usage.

(01:58):
So we came in knowing a little bit about Clock as an organization.
And once we saw the list of preregistrations,
we were super excited to see how many global companies are represented here.
Because it does tell us a lot of the direction our company is taking.
I did have a session about growing teams versus trying to build
a legacy that came across well.
I tried to make it interactive and much like good.

(02:21):
And it got a few really nice, spontaneous, how-and-fuel, really good about it.
I think contracts are extremely challenging for many global operators teams,
but also for businesses that the legal operation supports.
The analysis that we have done has proven to be
between 75 to 80 some-odd percent as effective and as accurate

(02:43):
as the traditional polygraph test.
With additional support and as AI technology improves,
that that accuracy rate could get as high as 85%.
Well, we've seen over the last few years is with the events,
with machine learning and large language models,
the level of accuracy, nuance, and contacts,
and many of the like, which have significantly gotten better.

(03:06):
When we see the interest in CLM, often the overload question is,
how is this going to help increase the velocity of my contracting process?
Unfortunately, CLMs don't necessarily solve that problem.
They're the book ends of the solution, but the middle part of the journey
often is riddled with a copy and a pasting out of a conference like this.

(03:26):
You have sophisticated legal operations.
Folks, starting to understand that there's a wedge in the middle of these platforms,
where if I have a bespoke problem that I need to solve, for example,
speeding up the contracting process or ensuring that my markups are consistent
with the playbook for prospects, large companies,
really need bespoke tools to tackle these specific challenges.

(03:49):
Our agents are real, and can they do the real things?
Because they're hearing lots about AI agents in the law,
but not concrete examples of what they can achieve for their companies,
with agents.
It's not just the fact that we can help design an end-to-end process
using low-code and make sure that we design your workflow

(04:12):
to your unique needs within the firm or insurance space, corporate wherever you are.
But it's also that we can customize your output.
Whatever you are looking to extract from your documents,
whether that be employment, information, medical,
if you're looking to filter out other information as well,
that's something that we can easily set up for you to make sure

(04:32):
that when we do set up this workflow is going to increase your efficiency,
streamline your process, and make life easier.
Here at Clock, what we've heard today,
extraction is a constant problem for everybody.
How do you get the data from the contracts into the hands of the people
that need it in order to actually operationalize the contracts?
And then consistency and not having playbooks and not having teams doing the same thing,

(04:57):
so helping to speed contracts by making sure you're doing the same thing every single time.
There's a lot of corporate clients that we either know or should know,
so it's a good mix.
It's a good opportunity to connect with people we've worked with for many years
and people who have never even met or never even heard of someone who has a company.

(05:20):
So it's a little discovery process that pays dividends in the long run.
It's really around helping the legal team collaborate with each other,
also help the business engage with them,
and just to give them total visibility across all their works,
whether it's matters, contract, and the individual external capital.
We've been talking a lot about how people can leverage the data within their contract database.

(05:41):
Oftentimes the conversation is a better round, storage, organization,
but we're really trying to get past that.
How can we actually transform the legal function to be more of a strategic business partner?
So a lot of the things that we're doing are leveraging AI to drive insights,
whether it's for revenue operations, finance, and leveraging risk,
but also figuring out ways to be more strategic on the revenue side.

(06:03):
If we're super undergedic,
came in not going what to expect,
but some good turnout of high energy,
running lots seems like a good preference.
With the title wave of new M.A.I. tools, vendors, features,
both innovation and security teams are trying to figure out what the right level of risk is,
and how to assess a monitor for that risk in new AI vendors,

(06:24):
