Clio Duo

What is Clio Duo?

Clio Duo is the generative artificial intelligence assistant integrated natively into the Clio ecosystem, the world's leading cloud-based legal practice management software. Launched to modernize the daily routine of lawyers, Clio Duo acts as an intelligent productivity companion that helps answer case queries, draft legal documents, generate client history summaries, and manage billing securely and automatically.

How it works

Clio Duo is accessed through an always-active sidebar within the Clio Manage dashboard or via commands integrated into the traditional workflow. It has contextual access to registered cases, email exchanges, meeting notes, and the firm's financial reports. The lawyer can talk to Duo in natural language (e.g., "How many billable hours did I log this week for case X?" or "Create a summary of client Silva's latest emails"). The AI executes these tasks without exposing confidential information to the internet, complying with strict security and confidentiality standards.

Key Features

• Case and Document Summaries: Instant extraction of crucial dates and terms from long files or attached court briefs.
• Drafting Communications: Quick creation of email drafts for clients, explanatory notes, or case progress reports.
• Billable Hours Audit: Automatic identification and reminders of worked hours that have not yet been logged on client invoices.
• Smart Contextual Search: Detailed search across the firm's entire case history, returning structured answers based purely on internal data.

Available Integrations

As a native Clio tool, it integrates across all verticals of the ecosystem:

• Clio Manage (case management and billing).
• Clio Grow (lead generation and client onboarding).
• Secondary integrations with productivity suites connected to Clio, such as Microsoft Outlook and Google Workspace.

Who is it for?

• Solo Attorneys and Small Law Firms looking to optimize their administrative time to focus on billable hours.
• Partners and Office Managers who need to quickly audit the financial performance and billing of their teams.
• Paralegals and Legal Assistants tasked with drafting minutes and triaging documents daily.
