In partnership with
Welcome Automaters, 👋
So whether you’re a lawyer looking for a digital sidekick or a high-stakes investor trying to snag a piece of the AI pie, things are getting spicy.
On Tuesday, Anthropic decided it was time for Claude to pass the Bar. They’re rolling out a brand-new set of features built specifically to help law firms stop drowning in paperwork.
These tools are part of an expansion for Claude for Legal, and let’s just say the "superpowers" are real.
Now, think of these new plug-ins like specialized bolt-ons for different legal departments. Whether you’re dealing with commercial, privacy, corporate, employment, or AI governance, there is a plug-in for that and they can help with things like document search and review, case law resources, deposition prep, document drafting, and other related areas.
But here’s the real game-changer: Claude now connects directly through model context protocol connectors (MCPS) to the tools lawyers actually use. We’re talking:
DocuSign for those endless contracts.
Box for file searching.
Thomson Reuters (Westlaw) for the heavy-duty research.
And get this: The competition is absolute carnage. Startup Harvey just raised $200 million, at an $11 billion valuation, while their rival Legora pulled in a massive $600 million and even hired Jude Law for their ads. Jude Law! Anthropic is clearly sending a message: they aren't just here to play; they’re here to win.
Meanwhile, in a completely different kind of legal drama, Anthropic basically updated its website to say: "Please stop pretending you can sell our stock. You can’t."
Anthropic officially named eight platforms, including:
Open Doors Partners
Unicorns Exchange
Pachamama Capital
Lionheart Ventures
Hiive (new offerings)
Forge Global (new offerings)
Sydecar
And Upmarket
As companies that are not authorized to touch their shares.
The company stated clearly: "Any sale or transfer of Anthropic stock, or any interest in Anthropic stock, offered by these firms is void and will not be recognized on our books and records." Meaning: the receipt is fake. The shares are fake. The whole thing is void.
They also made it clear that any sale or transfer of Anthropic stock, or any interest in Anthropic stock, that has not been approved by their Board of Directors is void and will not be recognized on their books and records.
Forge Global is already pushing back, claiming they were included by mistake and are working to get their name scrubbed from the "naughty list."
But hey, the lesson here is that demand for Anthropic shares has become so feral that brokers are calling it one of the "hardest" stocks to source. And where there is hype, there are scammers. And Anthropic is drawing a very firm line in the sand. So be on the look out, and yes, read more on how to get your hands on Anthropic's stocks safely.
Here's what we have for you today
💸 Medicare is finally paying for AI
While everyone else was distracted by the latest flashy AI chatbot demo, the federal government quietly pulled off a revolution; and almost nobody noticed.
Forget the Silicon Valley hype cycles; the real seismic shift just dropped in a boring federal policy document. It’s called ACCESS, and if you’re in tech, AI, healthcare, or just like knowing where the big money is moving, you need to hear this.
So, what is ACCESS?
Well first, here’s the thing about genuinely massive shifts: they rarely come with confetti or a viral stage demo. Instead, they arrive as a line buried in a CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) document.
ACCESS stands for Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions. It officially goes live on July 5, 2026, and it’s a 10-year experiment that flips the script on healthcare. Instead of paying doctors for "time in the room," Medicare is finally going to pay for actual health outcomes. Did the patient's blood pressure drop? Did their pain reduce? Did their diabetes get better managed? That is what gets rewarded.
Historically, Medicare has been allergic to paying for anything that happens between doctor visits. If an AI agent calls a patient at 2:00 AM to check their blood pressure, reminds them to pick up their medication, coordinates a housing referral, or flags that a patient has gone quiet for too long. All of that happens outside a clinical visit, which means it falls into what you could call a “reimbursement dead zone”. Nobody got paid for it. So it barely happens at scale.
ACCESS fixes that. It opens the door to a $900 billion market by creating a federal payment mechanism for AI-driven care. And trust me, when Medicare moves, the private insurers usually scramble to follow within 18 months.
Meet the Outsider Winning the Game:
While the rest of the world was chasing AI "waifus," Neil Batlivala was building Pair Team. This is a company Silicon Valley mostly ignored because it serves the patients the tech world usually forgets: people managing chronic illnesses who are also dealing with housing or food insecurity.
On April 30, Pair Team announced they were one of only 150 organizations selected for the first ACCESS cohort.
Pair Team isn't just a "paper" company; they bring in nine-figure revenue and run the largest community health workforce in California. Their results are actually peer-reviewed—when a patient is in their care, one in two ER visits simply vanish.
Why does this program feel so... competent?
Because it wasn't built by career bureaucrats. ACCESS was designed by Abe Sutton and Jacob Shiff, two former healthcare founders and venture capitalists who brought their "best solution wins" philosophy to the government.
The first cohort is a wild mix:
AI doctor startups and virtual nutritionists.
Wearables like Whoop (though Neil is skeptical if a Whoop can help someone who is struggling to find their next meal).
The Fine Print:
It’s not all sunshine and rainbows. There are real risks here:
Data Sensitivity: We’re talking about intimate conversations regarding mental illness and survival being routed through federal systems that have had security issues in the past.
The "Efficiency" Trap: CMS is reimbursing at lower rates than expected. This means the economics only work if you’ve actually automated your workflow. As one expert says, ACCESS isn't for companies that "dabble" in AI; it's for those who have built their entire soul around it.
Why Did Everyone Miss This?
Because there was no flashy launch event! Healthcare policy is written in a language designed to make your eyes glaze over by line two. But the "smart money" is already there—digital health funding just hit a post-pandemic high, and AI companies, quick enough, are going to be the ones grabbing the checks
Stop making AI decisions in the dark. Understand AI usage.
Leadership is asking: are we getting value from AI? Which tools are worth the spend? Where are we exposed? Right now, most teams have no idea.
Harmonic Security Usage Explorer changes that. It automatically classifies every AI interaction across your organization into the use cases driving real work, specific to your business. Not generic categories. Not raw prompts. Actual patterns to understand: how your teams are using AI, how much time they spend in AI, the cost, and where risk lives.
CIOs get the data to rationalize spend and cut wasted licenses. CISOs get risk in context. AI committees get proof of impact.
Early access is now open to a limited number of organizations. Request your spot.
