    Hi HN. I'm the director of Free Law Project, the org that's behind this, RECAP, and CourtListener.com.

    The idea of this project is to create topic-based bots that follow certain areas of the law so that folks can access the raw data underlying the news and read it for themselves.

    We have a handful of "topic bots" over at https://bots.law, and we're working on Slack/MS Teams/Discord integration as well. We'll probably be launching a Crypto bot soon, if we can find a reasonable curator for that.

    We'd love your thoughts and if you follow tech cases, hopefully you'll find our bots useful!
