Q

Querious

The product is the model listening to a client conversation. Audio streams in from Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, a phone call or a meeting in the room, and speakers are told apart. From that the AI produces notes, a summary email, follow up tasks and a drafted time entry with a billing narrative. The Intelligent plan adds patented real time features that surface legal issues, follow up questions and statutes, regulations or guidance as the conversation runs, and capture the questions a lawyer planned to ask.

Personal details are removed before the conversation is analyzed, and past notes on a matter prepare the lawyer for the next conversation. Without the models there is no product to sell.

Real time research prompts surface statutes, regulations and guidance tied to what is being discussed, and Enterprise customers can set custom sources for those prompts. The standard sources, how a prompt is matched to the conversation and whether a cited provision links to its text are not described.

An AI accuracy disclaimer states that outputs may contain errors, inaccuracies, omissions, hallucinations or misattributions, including factual errors in research prompts and issue spotting suggestions. No accuracy figure, test set or error rate is published for notes, speaker attribution or research prompts.

Nothing leaves Querious on its own. When a conversation ends, the lawyer gets notes, a summary and a drafted time entry. Where Querious cannot identify the Clio matter with certainty, the lawyer confirms it, then sends the reviewed notes and billing entry to the matter. Real time prompts appear as suggestions during the conversation.

Under the disclaimer, the authorized user is solely responsible for reviewing, verifying and correcting every output before relying on it for client advice, court filings, legal strategy or settlement negotiations. No confidence signal or threshold at which the system holds back a prompt is described.

Customers are quoted by name and firm without figures. Jennifer Stanley, managing partner of Stanley Kup Legal & Compliance in Texas, says she cannot afford to be without it. Wayne Hassay, managing partner of Maguire, Schneider, Hassay LLP in Ohio, calls it a real time legal assistant. Keely Beemer of Bird, Scheske, Reed, Beemer & George in Michigan and Princess Uchekwe of The Chief Counsel in New York are quoted too, along with Matt Beier, a senior vice president at Wisconsin Lawyers Mutual Insurance Company.

The ROI calculator estimates hours saved and revenue from a firm's own inputs, marked as representative results. Querious has delivered CLE sessions for state bars and malpractice insurers. No dated deployment with measured results is published.

Confidentiality is built into how audio is handled. Streaming audio is processed and never written to storage, no verbatim transcript is kept unless a user enables one, personal details are stripped before analysis, and voiceprints are destroyed within 60 seconds of a meeting ending. Meeting content and outputs are never used to train, fine tune, evaluate or improve any model, a separation Querious enforces by keeping production and training systems apart at the network level. The model providers run in private instances, delete inputs after processing and are barred by contract from training.

Staff cannot read privileged content in decrypted form without the user's consent, and legal demands follow a protocol of notifying the user, asserting privilege and declining to produce without a court order. These commitments sit in the privacy policy. The platform's terms of service are shown only at registration and not published, and nothing describes separation between matters or users inside a firm.

The disclaimer states that Querious is a technology company, not a law firm, that neither the website nor the platform gives legal advice, and that no attorney client relationship forms with Querious. The relationship stays between the authorized user, the attorney, and the client, and Querious describes its own role as a technology provider working in a capacity like a paralegal or court reporter so that privilege is preserved.

The attorney must review, verify and correct every output before relying on it for advice, filings, strategy or settlement. Security is mapped to ABA Formal Opinion 477R, and Querious delivers CLE sessions on AI notetakers. It also sets out how recording consent and Illinois biometric rules apply when participants sit in different states or abroad, with consent features for Illinois meetings.

Querious publishes no AI policy, governance framework, named owner or testing program. It says the product was designed by attorneys, and the model separation and deletion rules are data protections rather than governance of output quality. Nothing addresses whether notes, speaker attribution or issue spotting work less well for some accents, languages or practice areas.

Retention is set out item by item. Nothing from the audio itself is stored, and voiceprints last no more than 60 seconds after a meeting. Notes, outputs and optional transcripts stay for 60 days unless the user sets a shorter period, and users can delete them at any time. Account data is kept for 60 days after the account closes, then deleted or anonymized.

Data is encrypted with TLS 1.2 or higher in transit and AES 256 at rest, staff access is limited to automated systems except for consented support, and breaches are reported within 24 hours. The AI providers named are OpenAI and Anthropic, with Microsoft Azure as the cloud. Other service providers are described only by role, such as payments, analytics and support, and no full list is published.

The platform's terms of service, which govern the product, are presented only at registration and are not published, so no liability cap, indemnity, warranty on output or insurance position can be read before signing. The published terms of use cover the website alone, cap Querious's liability for website use at $100, and require visitors to indemnify Querious. The disclaimer places full responsibility for relying on AI output on the authorized user.

The Clio integration is documented step by step. Where it can, Querious identifies the Clio matter for a conversation and asks the lawyer to confirm it. Reviewed notes and the billing entry then go to that matter, and past notes on the matter come back to prepare the lawyer for the next conversation. 8am MyCase and Smokeball connections are included on every plan.

On the meeting side, Querious joins Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, with a custom meeting bot on the Intelligent plan, and a desktop app covers phone calls and in person meetings. Summaries can go out by email, after which the email provider's retention applies. Enterprise customers get custom integrations through an API.

All platform operations run in Microsoft Azure, and the AI models run in private, isolated instances that are not shared with other customers. The Azure region and where the model providers process data are not stated, and no on premises or regional option is offered. Querious notes that meetings with participants outside the United States may bring in the GDPR and similar laws, without describing a separate deployment for them.

SOC 2 Type II certification is held, with an annual independent audit of the security controls. The auditor, the report period and the scope are not named, and no trust center or route to the report is published. Security measures are mapped to ABA Formal Opinion 477R on reasonable efforts to protect client confidentiality.

Meeting audio is processed by models from OpenAI and Anthropic, described as current providers, running in private instances inside Querious's Azure environment. Each provider must delete inputs once processing ends, may not train on the data and owes confidentiality at least as strict as Querious's terms.

Which models and versions handle transcription, notes and research prompts is not named, the region they run in is not stated, and no notice of a change in provider is promised.

Prices are published in USD per member a month, with monthly and annual billing. Essential costs $59.99 and includes unlimited meetings, notes, summary emails, billing entries, Zoom, Teams and Meet support, the Clio, 8am MyCase and Smokeball integrations, and the desktop app. Intelligent costs $99.99 and adds custom conversation types, a custom meeting bot, capture of planned questions, real time issue, question and research prompts, and follow up tracking.

Enterprise, with API integrations, custom research sources and enterprise configuration, is priced on contact. A free trial starts from the site without a sales call. No setup fee is mentioned for the self serve plans.

Solo practitioners, boutique firms and multipractice law firms use the product. Practice areas named include business and corporate law, employment and labor, estate planning, real estate, healthcare compliance, intellectual property and general litigation, and highly specialized practices are asked to get in touch about configuration.

Recording consent and biometric rules are handled for meetings across states and for participants outside the United States. Which practice areas the real time research prompts cover in depth, and which jurisdictions' law they draw on, is not stated.
