WilsonAI Co., the provider of an artificial intelligence-powered assistant for in-house legal operations, said today it has raised $1.7 million in pre-seed funding to accelerate the development of what the company calls an AI paralegal that companies can “hire” for their teams.
The company was founded in 2024 by Chief Executive Gus Naete, formerly a lawyer at British multinational law firm Clifford Chance LLP, and Chief Technology Officer Alex Wang, formerly a developer at New York City-based investment firm D. E. Shaw & Co. It wants to change how legal teams operate using AI.
We’re building an AI that doesn’t just answer questions but actively participates in legal teams’ daily workflows,” said Wang. “By integrating with in-house legal data and processes, Wilson’s AI paralegal becomes an invaluable team member, delivering efficiency and consistency at scale.
The company provides an AI agent that can handle most of the routine work done by legal teams, responds to frequently asked questions and integrates with internal legal knowledge bases. Wilson is building what the company calls a “legal large action model,” or LLAM, which can understand the complex flow of legal work and improve over time through interaction with employees.
