Intake & Client Development

Actionstep is a cloud practice management platform for midsize law firms. It covers matter management, document automation and management, email and calendaring, client intake, conflict checks and CRM, a client portal, time capture, billing, invoicing, payments, trust accounting and full legal accounting, with workflow automation across fourteen practice areas. Its AI layer, Actionstep Intelligence, launched in August 2026 alongside Trace, a passive time capture tool from the January 2026 acquisition of Traced. The vendor says every AI feature is opt in, that firms can see and audit what the AI did, and that firm data does not train AI models. It also says client, matter and billing data are not shared with outside AI providers in a way that exposes them beyond the firm. Actionstep Limited of New Zealand contracts through subsidiaries in the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand, has been backed by Serent Capital since 2020 and serves more than 5,000 firms. Its terms let a customer choose an AWS region for its data, and add specific protections for firms regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Actionstep completed a SOC 2 Type 2 examination in early 2026.

Briefly is an AI platform for law firm marketing and business development teams, built around directory submissions to Chambers, Legal 500, IFLR, Benchmark and WTR. A firm uploads past submissions as PDF, Word or Excel files, and the AI extracts every matter, attorney, client, referee and narrative into an Experience Graph that links them across years, directories and practice areas. From that graph the team schedules and tracks open submissions across more than 5,000 practice and location cohorts. It drafts in an in app editor by dragging matters and attorneys onto the page, converts a submission from one directory's format to another with a view of what changed, and exports to Word in each directory's format. A chat interface answers questions about the firm's matters with citations to the source records and generates pitch sections, RFP answers, partner bios and website copy. A rankings view tracks tiers and attorney rankings year over year. Briefly is made by Precedent Labs Inc. of San Francisco, states SOC 2 Type II compliance and publishes no prices.

CARET Legal is a cloud practice management platform for small and mid sized law firms. It combines case management with built in email and calendaring, automated workflows, document management, contact management and client intake, a client portal, LEDES billing, integrated payments, and full legal accounting including trust accounting, with reporting on higher tiers. Its AI began with Quick Summary, a document summary feature launched in beta in September 2023 on Microsoft's Azure OpenAI Service. It has grown into CARET AI, which works from the matters, time, billing and deadlines in the platform to find unbilled time, flag items needing attention and calculate deadlines. The company is Abacus Data Systems, Inc., doing business as CARET and formerly AbacusNext, based in San Diego, with more than 6,500 firms on the platform. Pricing is published at $79, $99 and $119 per user per month billed annually, plus one time implementation fees. Its terms say AI outputs are not legal advice and need human review, and they license AI inputs and outputs to CARET to train, tune and evaluate its models.

Case Status is a client communication layer for law firms. It sits on top of the case management system a firm already runs rather than replacing it. Clients get a branded mobile app, opened by text message without a password, that shows where their case stands and what happens next, with secure messaging, document scanning and upload, and short videos for each stage. For the firm it gathers what would otherwise arrive by phone, text and email, tracks client satisfaction through a matter, and prompts for Google reviews and referrals when a client scores highly. The AI features are sold individually: translation of client messages, case summaries, response drafting with urgency ranking, a triage agent, automation agents and sentiment tracking. Drafted replies are shown to staff to review before sending. It integrates with thirteen named case management platforms, including Clio, Litify, MyCase, Filevine, Neos, SmartAdvocate and CASEpeer. Case Status, Inc. is based in South Carolina and says it acts as a data processor for the firms that use it. Several hundred firms use it, mostly in personal injury, workers compensation, disability, mass tort and immigration practice.

CaseBlink is an AI case preparation platform for US immigration attorneys and law firms, run by CaseBlink, Inc. of New York and founded in 2023. It organizes and labels uploaded client documents, extracts data into USCIS forms, and drafts support letters, briefs and RFE responses in the firm's style with citations to the uploaded evidence. It researches AAO decisions, the USCIS Policy Manual and case law, and assembles tabbed packets ready to file. Its Autopilot agent, launched at the AILA 2026 conference, runs the full sequence in one click for attorney review. It covers employment, family, humanitarian and naturalization case types, and sells per seat from $100 a month, with AI drafting from the $200 Core plan. CaseBlink also runs a page for individual applicants that matches them with partner immigration firms using the platform. It uses OpenAI under an agreement for zero data retention, and Google Cloud, and reports SOC 2 Type 1 (2024) and Type 2 (2025) audits. CaseBlink raised $2 million in March 2025 in a round led by Tower Research Ventures and says more than 100 firms use it.

Caseflood is an AI intake platform, sold with an advisory engagement, for plaintiff and consumer law firms that run their own intake teams. The firm's reps handle every conversation inside Caseflood's workspace. They are supported by predictive dialing, AI texting and immediate response to new leads, live AI call guidance, case capture against the firm's own qualification rules, retainers in one click and call summaries prepared by AI. Leaders get evidence at the level of each call, analysis of missed cases, coaching tools and a way to ask Caseflood how intake is performing. Caseflood configures the platform with the firm and helps diagnose and improve its intake and marketing operation over the following months. The company is backed by Y Combinator. Pricing is not published.

CaseGen is an AI voice intake and reception platform for law firms, operated by MAF AI, Inc. of Irvine, California. Three named agents do the work. Justina answers inbound calls around the clock, takes full intakes, handles calls from existing clients, screens out spam and flags high value cases for live transfer. Justin follows up with leads who have not signed and can call them to finish the intake, and Maya checks in with medical providers and clients on treatment for personal injury firms. The agents work in more than 20 languages and text callers to collect photos and documents. They send transcripts and intake summaries into Clio, Filevine, Lawmatics, 8am and other systems, with a dashboard for call analytics, live transcripts, playback and a live call intercept. CaseGen runs as a managed service: its team configures and operates the agents to the firm's instructions, and firms request changes rather than editing settings themselves. It serves law firms only, across personal injury, workers' compensation, lemon law, employment, family, criminal, immigration, real estate and business law. Pricing is per call and month to month with an implementation fee, quoted after a discovery call.

Centerbase is a cloud practice management platform for midsize law firms, built around running the business of a firm rather than practicing law. It brings matter management, timekeeping, billing and collections, trust and general accounting, document management, client intake, a client portal, CRM and workflow automation into one system, with embedded payments and electronic billing through a BillSync integration. Its AI, Centerbase IQ, launched in April 2026 at the Association of Legal Administrators annual conference. A managing partner or firm administrator asks a question in plain language, for example about collection rates by practice group or work in progress aging beyond sixty days, and gets a visual answer. Every answer carries the source records behind it, so a figure can be traced to the billing entry or matter, and the vendor states that the analysis is isolated to the firm's own data. Centerbase also integrates with NetDocuments ndMAX and partners with Billables AI for time capture. Centerbase, LLC is based in Dallas, Texas.

Clio is a legal practice platform for firms of every size. Clio Manage handles matters, calendars, documents, time, billing and trust accounting. Clio Grow covers intake and client development, Clio Draft handles document automation and court forms, and Clio Work is the AI workspace for analysis, research and drafting. Clio's AI reads both the firm's own matters, clients, filings, messages and financial data and the law itself, through the vLex library of more than a billion legal documents from over a hundred countries. Clio bought vLex in June 2025. Output is described as citing its sources, and the firm reviews and approves anything before it reaches a client or court. The platform runs in regional versions for the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, with AI processing in the customer's own region, and publishes a subprocessor list naming the AI providers behind each product. Clio is operated by Themis Solutions Inc., a British Columbia company. It says more than 400,000 legal professionals use it in 130+ countries, and it partners with over a hundred bar associations, including all fifty US states.

CosmoLex is a cloud practice management platform for small and midsize law firms, with accounting built in. Alongside matter management, calendaring, tasks, document management, time capture, billing and a client portal, it carries full trust and general accounting. A firm can reconcile its IOLTA account, run its general ledger and produce tax reporting in the same system that holds its matters, without a separate QuickBooks or Xero file. Three way reconciliation and trust rules are treated as core concerns. AI features were added in August 2026: AI Intake, which captures client inquiries and moves them through intake, with an AI intake form builder; document summarization, which pulls key terms, obligations, deadlines and action items from uploaded documents; and natural language filtering of the firm's own data. CosmoLex says AI processing happens inside the customer's own CosmoLex environment, documents are never used to train external models, and AI outputs are limited to a single matter to preserve attorney client privilege. Integrations cover Microsoft 365 and Outlook, QuickBooks Online, NetDocuments, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, Google Drive and Zapier. CosmoLex is a ProfitSolv brand based in West Palm Beach, Florida, with a separate Canadian offering.

Docketwise is immigration case management software from 8am for immigration law firms, nonprofits and other legal service providers, built around a forms library rather than a case file. A single multilingual questionnaire, sent by email or text, collects a client's details once and fills every matching form in the USCIS, EOIR, DOL and DOS libraries. The vendor updates those forms as agencies revise them. Around the library sit document requests, eSignature, deadline and priority date tracking, automatic USCIS case status updates, a client portal, invoicing, trust accounting and electronic filing with USCIS. A CRM captures leads from the firm's website, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and SMS. The AI, DocketWise IQ, comes with the Pro and Advanced plans. Its Document Assistant reads scanned passports and green cards into forms and client profiles, and its Writing Assistant edits client messages and translates them for clients who speak Spanish or Arabic. Docketwise connects to Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, QuickBooks, LawPay, common storage, email and calendar tools and Zapier, and publishes an open API. Founded in 2016 and based in Austin, Texas, it is owned by 8am, formerly AffiniPay.

Drafty AI is a case preparation platform for US immigration attorneys from DraftyAI, Inc. of Coral Gables, Florida, founded by immigration attorney Nadine Navarro with engineers Antuan Vazquez and Javier Garcia. Work starts from a client matter. Smart Upload reads the client's documents and fills in case details, and a guided questionnaire or a client intake form covers the rest. The Strategy Outline engine maps evidence to each legal element, builds an evidence matrix and flags deadlines, bars and weak points before drafting begins. One Draft action then routes the matter to the right flow. Petitions and briefs, motions for immigration court, expert letters, declarations and exhibit lists each have one, as do RFE, NOID and NOIR responses in the RFE Studio, asylum, withholding and CAT claims, and I-601A waivers. Drafts come back in sections for review, with case law and statutes gathered in a table of authorities and unmatched citations flagged, and export as Word files. A Translation Studio and a Document Improvement Studio rework existing files. Plans start at $250 a month for one seat and ten matters, with no sales call.

eimmigration is immigration case management software built by Cerenade and sold to immigration law firms, nonprofit legal service providers, corporate legal teams and university international offices. The core is casework rather than AI: more than 300 USCIS, State Department and Labor Department forms with version control, 120 case templates, intake questionnaires, a client portal, electronic filing, USCIS and Visa Bulletin tracking, CBP travel history import, billing and trust accounting. Four AI features, branded AI Workmates, sit on top. Summarizer digests an uploaded PDF, pasted text or a URL. Extractor pulls data from passports, USCIS receipts and other PDFs, handwritten ones included, into client and case fields. The Translator moves intake questionnaires and government forms between English and twelve other languages. Report.AI answers questions about a firm's own caseload in plain language. Further drafting and translation tools on the site belong to partners. The customer agreement, data processing addendum and subprocessor list were updated in February 2026, and prices are published per user. The vendor is Multimedia Abacus Corporation, trading as Cerenade, of Inglewood, California.

FirmPilot is an AI marketing engine for law firms from FirmPilot AI, Inc. of Miami, founded by chief executive Jake Soffer and sold as a replacement for a digital marketing agency. Its proprietary engine, which FirmPilot says is trained on more than five million pieces of legal marketing content and more than 3,000 legal cases, watches competing firms. It crawls their websites, ads, links and rankings every 90 minutes. Agents for blogs, social media and Google Business Profile then write and publish content, run Google Ads bidding and creative, build links and fix website problems. The work aims at both Google and AI answer engines such as ChatGPT. Each client has a dedicated success manager and a dashboard reporting leads, rankings, ad performance and return on spend, and the platform works only with WordPress sites. Practice area pages cover personal injury, family, criminal defense, employment, estate and probate, immigration, business and bankruptcy law, for firms of two to fifteen attorneys. Three flat monthly prices run from $4,250 to $9,250, with no percentage of ad spend. FirmPilot closed a $22 million Series A-1 in February 2026 led by DeepWork Capital, with Thomson Reuters Ventures and HubSpot Ventures among its investors.

HelloCounsel is an AI voice agent platform from HelloCounsel Inc. for plaintiff personal injury, workers' compensation and mass tort firms with roughly 10 to 200 staff. Its agents answer inbound calls and place outbound calls around the clock, handling new client intake and the calls that follow a signed case: client status updates, medical provider and records follow up, insurance adjuster and claim calls, lien balance checks and appointment changes. Routine requests are completed on the call, and sensitive or complex calls are routed to staff with context; the agents give no legal opinions, settlement estimates or outcome predictions. After each call a transcript and structured summary are written into the firm's case management system through native integrations with Filevine, Litify, Clio, SmartAdvocate, MyCase, CasePeer and Neos, alongside RingCentral. Pricing is a fixed monthly figure set by licenses and call volume, from $500 a month according to the company's blog, and every firm starts with a free pilot of two weeks.

Hona is a client communication platform for personal injury firms, built around an AI case manager called Lia that runs the treatment phase of a case. Once a client is enrolled, Lia texts them the same day, maps the treatment plan, sends appointment reminders, checks in after each visit to capture symptoms and provider details, and builds a timestamped treatment timeline on the case. Missed appointments, new symptoms, unfamiliar providers and long silences are flagged to the case manager under escalation rules the firm writes in plain language, and high priority alerts repeat until someone resolves them. Lia introduces herself as an AI in her first message, is set never to give legal advice or opinions, and passes any question about legal strategy to the assigned case manager, who can join any conversation or call from the dashboard. She works in English and Spanish, by text or voice, and enrollment is optional case by case. Hona connects to case management systems PI firms already use, including Filevine, Clio, MyCase, CASEpeer, SmartAdvocate, Assembly and Smokeball. Hona Software, Inc. is a Delaware corporation based in Orem, Utah, and says more than 500 personal injury firms use the platform.

Pricing is not published.

Prospective clients arrive through a website chatbot, embedded webforms or a live phone transfer, and branching questions follow each case type. Waypoint is the AI layer. It reads every finished intake against criteria the firm writes in plain language and returns a numeric score, a category breakdown, a written summary and red flags before staff open the lead. It runs on the firm's own OpenAI key. A prospect who meets the firm's rules can sign a prefilled retainer in the same session, and the signed case syncs to Litify, Filevine, Clio, Lead Docket or HubSpot. An agent workspace adds a live transfer queue, a RingCentral softphone, call scripts and speed to lead dashboards. A referral partner portal tracks referred leads and fees, and mass tort firms group claimants into MDL portfolios with plaintiff fact sheet exports. Stern & Cohen and McCune Law Group are named customers. Pricing is quoted after a demo. Case Compass also sells Dwellex to landlord and tenant firms. The old gideonlegal.com address now carries unrelated content.

Intaker is a cloud intake and client relationship management platform for law firms, built around website chat that qualifies leads around the clock. Its distinguishing feature is video: lawyers record intro and outro videos that play inside the chat, so a prospective client sees the attorney rather than a text widget. The chat runs on more than 1,400 custom prompts with prebuilt scripts for different practice areas, and Live Call Connect, a click to call widget, turns a chat lead into a live phone transfer to the firm. Beyond chat, the platform covers lead tracking, two way texting, automated email and text follow up sequences, virtual inbox workflows, staff reminders and reporting.

Its AI layer, LeadsAI, reads intake documents, summarizes lead details, messages and notes, and scores each lead for viability as soon as it opens.

Perspective AI

Perspective AI replaces static intake forms with adaptive conversations led by AI, marketed as Intelligent Intake and positioned as structured capture rather than a chatbot. It asks follow up questions on vague answers, adapts to responses, captures urgency and the reasoning behind an inquiry, and turns answers into the same fields a form would collect while keeping the context a form loses. The firm describes who it wants to qualify and what determines fit, and the system builds the conversation. Questions can then be adjusted, routing rules set for strong and weak fits, branding matched and the full conversation previewed before launch. The agent runs as a website widget, popup, email link or standalone page, and completed conversations arrive as structured summaries in an inbox, CRM or Slack. Named legal uses are qualifying personal injury, family law, estate planning and immigration inquiries before a paralegal makes contact. The vendor says the platform captures the parties and matter details needed to flag conflicts, and that staff then confirm against the firm's own records. The product is horizontal, also serving healthcare, financial advisory, insurance, internal requests, education and real estate. A free tier with no code templates is offered.

Quilia

Quilia is a case app for the clients of personal injury and workers' compensation firms, from Record System, Inc. of Las Vegas, Nevada. The firm invites its client from its case management system, and the client gets a text and installs the app. From then on the client records treatment visits, pain scores and photographs, uploads police reports, medical records and bills, signs documents and messages the firm. Quilia's AI reads what arrives, extracts dates, providers and treatment details, files documents in order, asks the client to confirm what it found before anything lands on the case, and tracks treatment for gaps. An AI case assistant called ℚ, which the vendor describes as rolling out, reads a client their own file in plain language under published limits. Everything syncs both ways with the firm's case management system, with named integrations for Clio, Filevine and Litify among others, plus Zapier, an API and a Model Context Protocol connection. Quilia states HIPAA compliance, US servers and no training of AI models on customer data, and publishes no independent security attestation of its own. Fees are set per case tier in an order form and are not published.
