About Perceptron ML
YC company profile
We make law firms AI-native.
We build AI systems for law firms, trained on each firm's own matters and deployed privately in their environment: timekeeping, intake and matter monitoring, research, discovery, and drafting. Our grounding engine verifies every fact against a primary source before a model can cite it, which is why firms trust us with work that off-the-shelf legal AI keeps getting wrong.
