What Vesence does

Vesence is building Cursor for Lawyers. Already rolled out firm-wide with a first major law firm. We launched in February. Imagine programming in Apple Notes. No linting, no cursor, you are on your own. That is how it is for many lawyers to draft and review contracts in Microsoft Word. We are here to change that.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building a smart assistant that works like a cursor inside Microsoft Word for lawyers. Instead of drafting contracts in a plain text editor with no guidance, lawyers get an AI-powered cursor that helps them write, review, and edit contracts faster and more accurately. Our AI understands legal context and workflow inside Word, making drafting less of a manual, error-prone process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Vesence YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Vesence's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Vesence would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
