Building a Universal Agent for Legal

How Legora went from a single-file legal assistant to a filesystem-native agent. Jakob explores the parallels between legal and coding work, the design of the file-editing tool loop, how to manage context across very large files, and why a filesystem-native approach unlocks the next class of legal AI. The underlying track: when you're building an agent for a new domain, reduce your problem to coding — where the state of the art lives — and steal patterns that already work (right down to .docx editing).
