95% of AI deployments fail in corporate environments today. The pattern is predictable: companies either attempt DIY solutions or deploy generic, one-size-fits-all platforms that overpromise and underdeliver.
There’s a different path to success: depth over breadth. Obsessing over one high-value use case can drive undeniable results. Nowhere is that focus more vital than in the legal profession — where precision isn’t preferred, it’s existential.
The Quality Crisis in Legal AI
Legal AI is brimming with promise. It’s a text-rich, high-stakes field tailor-made for large language models. Yet most tools on the market stumble for one simple reason: they try to do too much at the expense of precision.
“Almost right” doesn’t cut it in law. Hallucinations, inconsistencies, and “prompt paralysis” turn what should be time-saving innovation into a liability. Lawyers end up re-reviewing every clause and citation — adding hours of work and new risk to every project.
Before AI, law firms have tried to ensure precision in their documents by throwing people at the problem, creating armies of reviewers whose job is to scroll through Word docs line by line. It’s costly, inefficient, and deeply human-unfriendly. Ironically, this is the kind of work AI is actually great at.
Vesence: Quality Assurance for the Legal Era of AI
Vesence flips the legal AI model on its head. Instead of generating new text that might be wrong, it uses AI to ensure that what’s already written is right.
Think Grammarly for lawyers — but far more powerful. Vesence automatically enforces firm-wide standards, flags inconsistencies, validates references, and polishes language to perfection.
It lives where lawyers already work — in Word and Outlook — with no new interfaces or prompts to learn. The payoff is immediate:
“You saved me four hours last night.”
“I’m never sending another document without Vesence.”
“This is how AI should feel — intuitive and reliable.”
Vesence turns quality control from a burden into a competitive advantage.
Founders Built for Precision and Persistence
Vesence’s co-founders, Henrik Hansson and Ludvig Swanström, embody the craftsmanship and grit we look for in every Emergence founder.
Henrik, a brilliant technologist with a Scandinavian eye for design, built the entire early platform himself — including complex Microsoft integrations that most teams would need months and full engineering squads to execute. Ludvig, a former professional athlete, brings the discipline, speed, and relentlessness of elite competition.
Together, they’ve shown an almost obsessive customer focus — even sleeping at a top Swedish law firm to understand workflows firsthand. That kind of dedication separates great founders from good ones.
The Future of Professional-Grade AI
Vesence represents the next era of AI: tools that integrate seamlessly into professional workflows and quietly make them extraordinary.
As the team scales its engineering and expands across top firms, we’re thrilled to lead their $9M seed round and help them set a new standard for precision AI in the professional world.
Welcome to the Emergence family, Henrik and Ludvig.
