The associate that runs intake.
Harvey is built for the AmLaw 100. Spellbook lives inside Word. We build a private AI for one Australian firm. Trained on your matters, written in your tone, owned by you forever.
Three days from referral to engaged.
A barrister refers a matter on Monday. Your receptionist takes the call and a one-line note. The conflicts check sits in someone’s inbox until Tuesday. The intake form gets emailed Wednesday. The cost agreement gets drafted Thursday. By Friday the client has spoken to another firm.
Senior people are doing junior work. Junior people are doing receptionist work. The work that pays you sits behind a queue of work that does not.
“Two thirds of Australian solicitors are using or planning to use generative AI. Confidence rose from 75% to 90% in one year. Small firms are moving the fastest.”
LexisNexis 2026 Australia Legal AI Sentiment Survey
Generic legal AI is built for the AmLaw 100 or for whoever happens to subscribe this month. It does not know your conflict register. It does not know how your firm classifies a matter. It does not know which partner takes property settlements and which one does not. A custom build does.
While you finish reading this, Harvey raised another round. Spellbook crossed ten million contracts. Smokeball shipped Archie. Clio rolled out Duo. The largest firms in Australia already have AI roadmaps. The gap between firms that move first and firms that wait widens with every matter.
An intake desk that never sleeps and never forgets.
The Matter Triage Engine.
A new enquiry lands by phone, web form, or email. The engine takes it from there. It runs a real conflicts check against your existing client and matter database. It walks the client through a guided intake in plain English, gathers the facts, and classifies the matter into your firm’s practice areas with confidence scores.
Then it drafts the cost agreement to LPUL Section 174, personalised to the matter type and the partner who will run it. It prepares the engagement letter in your firm’s tone. It opens the file in LEAP, Smokeball or Clio. It lands a one-page brief in the partner’s inbox: who the client is, what the matter is, what the conflicts check returned, and which template was used.
Same compliance. Same partner sign-off. Three days of cold intake compressed into eighteen minutes.
Equal Legal is our legal venture. It triages legal issues conversationally, classifies them, and generates compliance-aware documents without hallucinating advice. Built in 2.5 weeks. The pattern is the same. Drop in your matter database, your conflict register, your cost agreement templates, and your firm’s practice areas instead of ours.

Modelled from the Equal Legal triage build and intake benchmarks across three pilot firms.
Everything else we can build for your firm.
Precedent library RAG
Your firm’s past matters, advices, and template documents in one private chat. Junior lawyers find the closest precedent in seconds, not hours.
Cost agreement drafter
Matter type in, LPUL Section 174 compliant cost agreement out. Personalised to the partner, the practice area, and your firm’s rates.
Discovery review co-pilot
Bulk document review against a matter brief. Privileged documents flagged, key facts extracted, hot documents surfaced for the partner.
Client update drafter
Overnight, the AI reads matter activity and drafts plain-English client updates in your tone. Partners arrive to a sorted, half-written outbox.
Compliance-safe content engine
Practice area pages and thought leadership drafted to ASCR Rule 36 standards. No specialist claims without accreditation, no testimonials without consent.
Practice management glue
LEAP, Smokeball, Clio, Microsoft 365 and your CRM stop arguing. The AI moves matters, creates time entries, and updates statuses across all of them.
We rarely build all of these at once. Most firms start with one workflow, prove it for a quarter, then layer the next.
We have shipped this pattern.
Compliance-aware by design
Built to ASCR Rule 36 and the LPUL. No specialist claims without accreditation. Privilege protected at the architecture layer.
Always a lawyer in the loop
AI drafts, classifies, and flags. A practising solicitor approves before anything reaches a client. Every action logged and reviewable.
You own the build
Code, prompts, integrations, schemas. No per-seat fees, no lock-in, no surprise pricing changes when the vendor pivots.
Published pricing. No discovery calls behind a paywall.
One recovered matter pays for the starter build before the first invoice closes.
