&AI, which provides the first AI agent for patent attorneys, announced today that it has raised a $6.5M seed round, led by First Round and supported by Y Combinator, SV Angel, BoxGroup and angels Kulveer Taggar, JJ Fliegelman and Rich Aberman.
&AI provides a secure workspace engineered for patent attorneys, leveraging AI to accelerate end-to-end prosecution and litigation workflows. The &AI platform helps attorneys effectively manage patent portfolios by streamlining labor-intensive processes like prior art searches, claim chart drafting, and responding to office actions. Andy is an AI agent that takes this foundation further by collaborating with attorneys to utilize these tools, significantly improving efficiency and work quality.
According to Caleb Harris, Co-founder and CEO, &AI has already had success selling into large law firms, with early customers using the platform to build thousands of claim charts for litigation, reporting an average time savings of 70-90 percent. Harris started the company with co-founder Herbert Turner – the two attended MIT together where they studied engineering. Harris later worked as a technical advisor to law firms, where he saw firsthand the challenges of manual workflows for due diligence, and decided to build a solution.
“&AI allows patent teams to replace manual workflows with AI so they can do due diligence in a fraction of the time and with much higher accuracy,” said Harris. “In the process, we free up valuable attorney time for less mundane work.”
