So, Harvey, the legal AI startup that's been making waves, just snapped up Hexus. You might be wondering, "Who's Hexus?" Well, they're a startup that specializes in crafting tools for product demos, videos, and guides. Basically, they make things look pretty and easy to understand, which is super useful in the often-complicated world of law. It seems like Harvey is on a roll, aggressively expanding in a market that's getting more competitive every day.

Sakshi Pratap, Hexus's founder and CEO, is heading over to Harvey. She'll be leading an engineering team focused on making Harvey's offerings even better for in-house legal departments. And get this: Hexus had already raised $1.6 million before the acquisition. Not bad for a two-year-old company, right?

This acquisition is just another step in Harvey's journey to become a major player in the AI space. Last fall, the company's valuation skyrocketed to $8 billion after raising a cool $160 million. That's a lot of money, even in the tech world.

Harvey boasts over 1,000 clients across 60 countries, including most of the top 10 U.S. law firms. That's impressive growth, and it shows that their AI solutions are resonating with the legal industry.

How it all started

Here's a fun fact: Harvey's origin story involves a cold email to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The founders tested GPT-3 on landlord-tenant law questions from Reddit. When lawyers said they'd use the AI-generated answers with hardly any edits, they knew they were onto something big. Can you imagine sending a random email and landing your first investment check? That's some serious hustle right there!

It's clear that Harvey is aiming high, and with moves like this acquisition, they're showing they're not afraid to play hardball to stay ahead. I'm curious to see what they come up with next!
