SaaS with 1000x More Agents than People with Box
Greylock· 2025-12-10 16:01
Right before AI, I was totally fixated on like everybody should just get cash flow positive and people shouldn't burn money. I've completely inverted again. I don't think margins matter right now.I think delivering agents that work matter and uh and that's the only thing that matters >> because you can just if you can if you deliver agent that works uh in two years from now that agent will cost you know a tenth of what it does today to run. So, just like build agents that work. [music] >> Erin, thank you so ...
A Look at Harvey's AI Lawyers
Greylock· 2025-12-09 23:45
What does an agentic uh workflow look like for legal and for Harvey. >> I would think of there's kind of two ends of this spectrum that we think about when we think of building this in the product. One is how do you do the very open-ended agentic tasks.So if you give Harvey any question you would give an associate, can we have some system that kind of looks like deep research that can take that task, create some plan, figure out which tools to use and solve this. And then the other end of the extreme is a l ...
Why Harvey is Using RL Environments
Greylock· 2025-12-09 23:45
Is data a big moat for RV. >> Yeah, I think there's two types of data. And so when we started the company, I think everyone thought of legal data as case law. >> And we've now partnered with Lexus and I think having access to case law and these other data sets is super valuable.But I don't think that is when we think of like the data mode that we think we're going to have as a company. The data that I think is really valuable that I think now people are realizing is valuable is the RLHF data or the reasonin ...
Encoding Customer Context into Harvey AI
Greylock· 2025-12-08 17:00
talk a bit about you know how you think about how much of the capabilities looking forward do you think you're going to rely on from the closed model labs versus how much do you think should come from your internal team >> I think this is still to be seen like our general sense is like >> one we like love openai they're a first investor we still work super closely with them a lot of the motivation for model differentiation is just customer demand and our general sense is we will never pre-train models. I th ...

Vibe Debugging Explained
Greylock· 2025-09-30 19:53
What does volume debugging look like in my mind. To perform these kind of tasks like help me understand uh what commit has landed in production or is this feature flag enabled, right. An engineer needs understanding of code but also understanding of production and and production is composed of all of these different tools that each has a silo of data but the tools don't really talk to each other, right.And so it falls upon a human to bring their tribal knowledge and also you know knowledge of how to operate ...
Measuring Outcomes with Agentic AI
Greylock· 2025-09-30 19:51
Software Development Efficiency - The primary goal is to accelerate the deployment of software to production [1] - The industry observes that deploying a prototype to production often takes longer than expected due to unforeseen issues [1] - A significant improvement would be achieved if deploying to production becomes as simple as creating the initial prototype [1] Agentic AI Impact - Agentic AI and software engineering aim to improve the speed of software delivery [1] Measurement of Success - The key metric for success is the increased speed at which software can be shipped to a broad audience [1]
How to Improve Evals
