Hey everybody, it's Chad. We'll get to the show in just a second, but before we do, I wanted to tell you about a new app we rolled out called CERTERRA.AI. That's C-E-R-T-E-R-A.AI. What it is, it's an app that lets legal professionals run legal-related prompts through multiple AI models, and then they get to pick which response they think is better. The app keeps

the leaderboard ranking the models in real time. It just involves three steps. You enter a legal-related prompt, you review two responses from different AI models, you vote for the one you like better. If you're in anonymous mode, the app will randomly serve up responses from two LOM models, but they're not revealed until you vote. You can also select the two models you want

to pit head-to-head and choose the answer you like better there too. There's also an anonymization feature that cleans up identifiers in the prompt. So if you're a legal professional and you like comparing outputs from different AI models to see which one is better, I hope you check out certera.ai. That's C-E-R-T-E-R-A.ai. There's no cost to use it. You just need to be a legal professional.

That was the opening. The rest of the episode (29 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
