What are you working on? Any new ideas which you're thinking about?

Working on two projects right now:

- LegalJoe: AI-powered contract reviews for startups, at the "tech demo" phase right now: https://www.legaljoe.ai/

- ClipMommy: A macOS tool to help (professionals who record a lot of videos | influencers) organize their raw video clips. Simply drag a folder of "disorganized" videos onto ClipMommy, and ClipMommy organizes the videos into folders / subfolders, adding tags, based upon some special statements that you can make at either the start or the end of your video (think audio-based "clapboard"). I'm expecting to release this within a week or two on the Mac App Store (Apple allowing...).

As an aside, I've been very impressed with Claude Code, it's (for me at least!) leading the way for how the next generation of business software might leverage AI. I plan to iterate on LegalJoe to make more "agentic" as a result of what I've seen is possible in Claude Code.

Building this as a Word add-in is very clever. Good work!

Cheers!

I would have liked to also provide a Google Doc plugin, but the Google Docs APIs [1] don't provide the required capabilities (specifically: a way to create tracked changes). Word's Add-In APIs [2] are also limited in some regards, but since they let you manipulate raw OOXML, you can work around those limitations for the most part.
