The Day I Saw My Idea on a Front Page Ad
This morning, I came across a full front-page ad in The Economic Times on LinkedIn.
My first thought: well-funded company. They were building something similar to what I started a month ago—plus a few extras.
A few years ago, I would’ve panicked: “It’s already been built. Why bother? Success only comes from going zero to one.”
But today, I felt the opposite. I felt validated. Competition means there’s a real market. I learnt this mindset from the Roach Mafia folks—thanks to Ayush Chaturvedi for letting me be part of it.
I started Exhibit AI to scratch my own itch and have fun building in my free time. Now, with competitors like LexLegis.ai in the space, here’s how Exhibit AI’s design philosophy stands apart:
Core features – the foundation
- Turn case documents into visual timelines.
- Ask questions and uncover key insights.
Trust – transparency built-in
- Every answer comes with citations and links to source documents.
- Open-source codebase with full documentation—you see exactly how it works.
Freedom – your tools, your choice
- Host it anywhere: cloud or on-premise.
- Use the LLM you prefer: OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, or Llama.
Privacy – your data stays yours
- No multi-tenancy. Each client’s data lives on its own server.
Pricing – simple and predictable
No per-seat subscriptions.
We set up your infrastructure—cloud or on-premise—so it runs for one, ten, or a hundred users. For extra security, we can add static IP with VPN and MAC address filtering.
We handle server monitoring, backups (online and offline), and security updates. You pay a fixed monthly fee—not for licenses or headcount, but for business continuity and complete control over your data.
And tomorrow, when you grow big enough to hire your own IT team, you’ll still own the application and all your data.
