Resubmitted invoices now carry the Original Invoice primary key and the TeamConnect Invoice primary key automatically, and a flagged LEDES resubmission is blocked when the file's client does not match the client on the original rejected invoice.

Why it matters: Legal ops and AP teams get a traceable chain from each rejected invoice to its corrected version across Collaborati and TeamConnect, which cuts manual relinking and duplicate invoice risk during bill review. The client match check stops a firm's resubmission from being attached to another client's rejected invoice.

]]> StrongSuit published StrongSuit for Outlook (version 1.0.0.0) on Microsoft Marketplace, an add in for Outlook on the web, Windows and Mac… https://ailegalindex.com/changelog/strongsuit ailegalindex.com:change:6ab917f94f0d70b4bff6a101 Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Integration / interoperability General Legal Assistants Legal Research Litigation & eDiscovery Contract Review & Drafting StrongSuit published StrongSuit for Outlook (version 1.0.0.0) on Microsoft Marketplace, an add in for Outlook on the web, Windows and Mac that drafts a reply to the open email using the documents and email history of the linked StrongSuit matter. Users can connect an Outlook folder to a matter so every reply in that folder starts with that matter's context, then refine the draft in one click or with their own instruction. The listing states the add in never sends email and never changes recipients, subject or attachments.

Why it matters: It carries matter context into client, opposing counsel and court correspondence, and the no send design keeps a lawyer as the final reviewer of every message. The listing says the add in can read and modify the active message, so firms should check email and client confidentiality policies before rollout.

Only admins can switch on client requests, Quilia records who enabled it and when, and a case manager approves each request in CreoRx before the card activates.

Why it matters: Personal injury firms that fund client medication on lien can track card status and filled prescriptions inside the case record instead of a separate vendor portal. The admin only toggle and case manager approval step keep the firm in control of what clients can start on their own.

]]> SimpleDocs, Law Insider's parent, launched Risk Review 2.0 in SimpleAI, the engine inside the Law Insider Word Add in. https://ailegalindex.com/changelog/law-insider ailegalindex.com:change:6ab917f94f0d70b4bff6a0ff Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Product / capability Contract Review & Drafting SimpleDocs, Law Insider's parent, launched Risk Review 2.0 in SimpleAI, the engine inside the Law Insider Word Add in. It adds a lightweight review profile, a configurable Primary issues checklist (auto renewal, choice of law, use of data for AI training, unlimited liability and more) with custom checks, and a Market review powered by the Law Insider database that flags nonstandard or aggressive terms outside the checklist. Each flagged issue gets a risk level and a Fix action that generates a suggested redline the user can modify, dismiss or apply.

Why it matters: Legal teams get a structured first pass review of lower risk agreements without building a full playbook, with market deviations judged against Law Insider's precedent database rather than only the team's own rules. Redlines are proposed, not auto applied, so the lawyer keeps the decision.

The summary workflow is unchanged; only the model behind it changed.

Why it matters: Names the third party model behind a core EC:AI output, so firms can check the change against their OpenAI data handling terms and recheck summary quality on live matters.

The client enters bank details directly with Confido, and the page states this release covers settlement disbursements only, not client to firm payments.

Why it matters: Contingency and personal injury firms can close the payout step in the same channel clients already use, cutting check handling and keeping client bank details out of staff email and text. Firms need accounts on both platforms, and funds still move through Confido's disbursement flow rather than a Case Status ledger.

Epiq states the Canopy platform will be integrated into its Epiq AI suite and made accessible through Epiq Service Cloud, with Canopy engineers joining to build Epiq AI for Cyber. Former Canopy COO Adi Elliott becomes Epiq VP, Product Management, Cyber.

Why it matters: Breach counsel, review providers and insurers using Canopy now contract with Epiq, and access and roadmap move into Epiq AI and Epiq Service Cloud, so buyers should confirm standalone availability, data handling terms and regional AWS deployments under the new owner.

The control requires the Enterprise plan or the Enterprise Charts add on.

Why it matters: Legal teams can limit who inside the organization sees a given ownership view without reworking entity level permissions. Because it is gated to Enterprise packaging, plan tier decides whether a buyer gets it.

The same release adds expiration dates on documents, with email or in app reminders a week before expiry, on the day, or both.

It classifies incoming documents and flags contradictions with the case theory, runs multistep research including EDGAR, drafts outlines and edits, and calculates deadlines from docket entries showing the governing rule and arithmetic. Every proposed action stays unconfirmed until an attorney accepts it, and the platform keeps an audit trail of human and AI contributions tied to the team's approved reading of each document. Promptless is model agnostic, so firms can bring their own model, and teams set per matter and per client which work the AI may do, where approval is required, which sections stay lawyer only and what information the AI may see.

Why it matters: Litigation teams get AI work started without writing prompts while keeping attorney approval as a hard gate, which matters for supervision duties. The contribution level audit trail gives partners, general counsel and insurers a record of who directed each judgment.

Firms open a matter for a nominal fee and then pay a la carte only for the AI generated contributions they accept into that matter.

Why it matters: Firms pay for accepted work rather than seats or usage, so rejected AI output costs nothing and spend can be tied to a specific matter and client. No price points were published, so buyers still need a quote.

The firm's agent checks the relevant agreement and playbook and returns a sourced answer with an execution record, or routes the matter to a lawyer when judgment is needed. Controls include scoped tools, recipients and data sources, firm defined escalation rules, and identity, permission and retention settings set per client, firm and service.

Why it matters: It spells out which questions the system may answer without a lawyer and when it must escalate, the oversight question a firm has to settle before exposing AI services to clients. Access is by contact during the beta, so availability and pricing are not yet public.

Three new iOS APIs (setAttOptOutLevel, setShowAttOptOutWindow, setAttOptOutLockCategories) control which categories are rejected and locked when a user declines Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, and a new getWebCookie() function returns consent cookie values on Android, iOS, Flutter and React Native.

Why it matters: This changes what the SDK decides on a user's behalf without any user action, so legal teams should confirm their per region consent models and default categories match their own legal position before the new behavior takes effect in their apps.

The feature includes an audio check before the meeting, background blur, screen sharing for reviewing documents with the attorney, and a phone fallback if the web session fails.

Why it matters: Rocket Lawyer states it does not record audio, video, transcripts or in call chat from these consults and logs only operational data such as join and leave times and call length, a concrete retention disclosure for attorney conversations held inside the platform.

Live (Beta) also adds 12 voices, and GPT-6 Sol became the default model for analysis sessions and scheduled insights. The existing Realtime voice engine remains the default unless an owner or admin switches.

Why it matters: Buyers tracking which models process client conversations should note that analysis now runs on GPT-6 Sol by default and that voice intake can move to a new beta engine, both set at the workspace admin level.

The same release extends Highlight All Changes in the Document Editor to content driven by Object Record values and by multiple choice conditions.

Why it matters: Teams that push documents into Legito from other systems now get one complete version history instead of stray files. Reviewers can also see every change in conditional template content, which was easy to miss before.

This moves the agentic CaseBot release, with eight specialist skills including Deposition Kit, Request Analysis and Record Check, off the 7 August beta that was limited to new matters and needed per matter activation by support. The 18 August press release had planned general availability for September 2026.

Why it matters: Litigation teams can now run the skill based, citation backed CaseBot on any job without a support request, so it can be evaluated and priced as a standard product rather than a gated beta.

It adds vertical timelines on a real time axis, inline comments on facts, a compact mode, and side by side timelines that compare multiple saved views. The classic UI stays available by toggle until November 1, 2026, when the new UI becomes the standard experience.

Why it matters: Every existing account moves to the new interface on November 1, 2026, so firms have a fixed date for retraining users. Side by side timelines let case teams line up competing accounts of the facts on large matters in one view.

The original document is left unchanged, OCR text and page layouts carry over, tags, citations, review status and Bates numbers do not, and each new source carries a note recording its original document and page range.

Why it matters: The assistant changes case files only after the user approves its proposal, and the provenance note keeps a trail back to the original exhibit when split documents are later cited. New sources count toward the document limit on plans that have one.

Coverage runs past 567,000 judicial decisions plus federal and provincial legislation across the common law provinces, with Quebec and Nunavut legislation still in progress. The content feeds Vincent research, drafting and analysis, including checking existing citations against Canadian authorities.

Why it matters: Canadian and cross border firms can now ground Vincent answers and citation checks in Canadian primary law rather than relying on US, UK or EU sources. Quebec practitioners should confirm scope, since Quebec legislation is not yet loaded.

The same release adds a Bulk Verify action that moves multiple Unverified requests to In Progress, excluding requests that require Evident or IDology identity checks.

Why it matters: Privacy counsel handling access and deletion requests under different laws can encode each statute's deadline trigger in the system instead of tracking exceptions by hand, which lowers the risk of missed statutory response dates.

The same release makes GPT-6 Sol the default model for agent design, with GPT-6 Luna also selectable.

Why it matters: For a firm running client intake through Perspective, an invented No or 0 in a structured field can misroute a matter or wrongly screen out a prospective client, so this directly changes how the system behaves when it has no answer.

Users can create new workflows in natural language, by voice or in writing, and the release is available to all customers immediately.

Why it matters: This moves routine contract decisions inside set boundaries from lawyer review to the agent, so buyers need to check how boundaries are configured and audited before switching it on.

Why it matters: Clio firms can run AI work against the live matter record and file the output back without manual reentry, keeping Clio as the system of record. Irys states it asks for user approval before any write to Clio and never exceeds the connection's permissions, which bears on oversight of automated actions.

Harvey can now search a user's connected content in those repositories directly and find the relevant documents without the user first locating and selecting files. It extends the agentic iManage Search released on 2 Sep to Microsoft and Google document stores.

Why it matters: Firms that keep matter files in SharePoint or Google Drive rather than iManage or NetDocuments can now let Harvey find source documents itself, which removes manual upload and selection steps and widens what answers can be grounded in.

It adds Custom Actions, one click workflows that DocJuris legal engineers build and test for a specific team (for example a Fill Electrical SOW action that populates a statement of work from a supplier quote), and proposed edits are previewed and written only on click as native Word tracked changes. It supports Word for Microsoft 365 on Windows and Mac and Word on the web, is deployed through the Microsoft 365 admin center, and carries over SSO, MFA, Library permissions and the audit trail.

Why it matters: Teams can apply their own negotiating positions inside the drafting tool instead of uploading and downloading files, and DocJuris states that only paragraph text is sent to the customer's own instance and the Word file itself is never uploaded, which is a concrete point for confidentiality review. No Microsoft Marketplace listing was found, so rollout is admin managed rather than store installed.

Province rules such as the British Columbia Trust Administration Fee, the Transaction Levy in Alberta, Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador, and Ontario Form 9A now apply at matter level, and the Paid Taxes and Billed/Collected Taxes reports can target GST, PST, HST or QST.

Why it matters: Canadian firms with matters in several provinces can keep trust levies and sales tax correct per matter inside one system rather than relying on workarounds or separate books.

Administrators get guided setup resources and automated health checks that flag common data issues. The release also adds VISDOM AI functions for natural language questions about contract data plus drafting and clause management assistance, and states that existing SSO and Word and Outlook add ins keep working through the upgrade.

Why it matters: Legal and contract teams on Contract Insight get AI question answering and drafting help inside the core CLM record rather than a separate tool, with configurations and add ins stated to survive the upgrade. The release gives no accuracy figures or data handling changes for the new VISDOM functions, so buyers should ask how answers are grounded to the contract record.

The Relevance Determination Agent assigns each document a relevance or responsiveness likelihood score with its reasoning, and the Issue Coding Agent codes documents against matter defined issues with an optional post run QC that reports recall and precision per issue code. Both use a multimodel cross check and require users to validate performance on a sample set before the agent runs across the full document set.

Why it matters: Review teams get AI first pass relevance and issue coding with a sample validation gate, per document rationale and an audit trail of every human and AI decision, which is what a defensibility challenge will ask for. The agents run inside the existing platform security boundary under current permissions, so adopting them does not add a new environment to vet.

Users add, test, disable and remove connections from a new Connections tab in profile settings or from chat, and each connection uses the individual user's own credentials, stored encrypted and not shared with the firm. August enables it on request; it is not self serve.

Why it matters: Firms can reach systems that have no purpose built August integration, but August states it has no product specific knowledge of those systems and connections are per person rather than firm governed, so IT and risk teams should decide which MCP servers users may connect.

A user can start an agent on one desktop, move to another while it keeps working in the background, and the task lights up when the agent finishes so the user can return to review the resulting redline.

Why it matters: Lawyers can run several matter tasks with agents in parallel and are pulled back to review output only when it is ready, which changes how much agent work one person can supervise at once. It builds on the multichat tasks from the 8 Aug Vesence 2.0 release rather than adding new legal content or integrations.

A new option, Restrict users created after today, keeps staff who join the firm later out of the matter by default, and settings sync between the desktop and web apps.

Why it matters: Per matter restriction is how a small firm builds an ethical wall, and the new user default closes the gap where a lateral hire inherits access to a conflicted matter. Smokeball's AI help page states Archie only works on matters a user can access, so these settings also limit what the AI assistant can read.

Reveal says many Onna data sources now feed directly into Reveal Hold preservation and collection workflows, and Onna targeted collections move into Logikcull with context, metadata and file relationships intact. Preferred pricing applies to organizations that buy the suite through Dec. 31, 2026.

Why it matters: In house legal teams can cover hold through production under one vendor relationship instead of stitching together point tools, with a year end deadline on the preferred price.

Standard (Athena Agent) runs open source or open weights models self hosted on Deutsche Telekom and IONOS infrastructure, while the new Frontier category (Minerva Agent) adds an international closed source frontier model reached through Deutsche Telekom's T Cloud Public. Admins can deselect the nondefault category under Settings, Advanced Settings, and the picker is not yet offered in every market.

Why it matters: Firms that wanted frontier model output without leaving a European processing setup can now get it in the same product, while judiciary and public sector buyers can hold users to the sovereign open weights category by admin policy. Noxtua also states each model passes preregistered release gates, including legal engineering tests by C.H.BECK and bias assessments, before it enters a category.

Noxtua states that across all categories client data is never used for model training and is held with zero retention during processing, and that conversation history stays in Noxtua's own encrypted storage on Deutsche Telekom and IONOS under Noxtua keys, with client set retention. It says the Standard (Athena) path has no US law provider in its chain, while Minerva only reduces US CLOUD Act exposure.

Why it matters: Leaving Frontier switched on puts a Google environment into the processing chain for client matter data, so firms with strict client confidentiality or outside counsel terms should review the processing agreement and set the category by admin policy. The vendor's own statement that Athena, not Minerva, is the path with no US CLOUD Act addressee gives buyers a clear basis for that choice.

Runtime precedential treatment warnings and full brief cite checking are described as upcoming work, not shipped.

Organization data exports can now also include uploaded and generated files alongside chat transcripts, grouped by user.
