August allows law firms to compound their expertise by building an autonomous organization of AI agents that run the firm's knowledge work. We partner closely with our firms and grow alongside them through sharing revenue on our agents and equity in the firms we transform.
We believe that in five years, more than 95% of legal work will be concentrated among a select few elite law firms. The firms that get there will be the ones that rebuild how they deliver it. We're partnering with those firms and building the engine they run on to become the biggest legal service provider in the world.
We invest in partnerships, not just licenses. We sell finished legal work alongside our firms and take a share of what it earns. This enables them to scale their services and lets us grow along with it. That means we’re chasing the legal services market ($1T), which dwarfs the global legal tech market ($40b).
The problem is hard. An engine of agents sits underneath every matter we touch, connected to every step of a lawyer's workflow, in an industry where there is no margin for error. We’re challenged with building the perfectly accurate, infallibly secure, and yet all-powerful engine for legal work.
We're already live with several excellent firms and the early results are better than we expected. Lean team, in person, New York, backed by leading investors, growing fast.
Every role at August is a chance to remake an industry while the window is open.
Today, legal work is done the way it has been done for a century — manually, by humans, in six-minute increments. Every contract drafted from scratch. Every memo researched line by line. Every matter running through layers of review that someone is paying for at hundreds of dollars an hour.
That is about to change. We believe that in five years, more than 80% of legal work will pass through a model before it ever reaches a human. The implication is not faster lawyers — it is a fundamentally different way that legal services get bought and procured.
Our mission is to make high-quality legal work accessible and affordable for everyone. We are going after the services spend, not the software spend — helping law firms restructure their delivery model around AI, and helping in-house teams do the same. One engine of agents and workflows underneath every matter we touch.
We are a lean, in-person based in New York City, backed by leading investors and growing fast. Every role at August is a chance to remake an industry while the window is open.
August is building AGI for law. Our agents mimic a lawyers’ reasoning, research, and drafting, and our workflows already outperform lawyers in third-party evaluations. We’re targeting mid-market law firms, automating their legal work and allowing them to provide our tools directly to their clients. Join August at an early stage as we scale our agents to process thousands of documents simultaneously and create outputs exceeding human-level accuracy.
