AI Workflow Automation for Law Firms
You know your firm needs AI. You don't know where to start. Dodonai's AI managed services design, build, and run custom agents around the workflows your team already uses (intake, deadlines, drafting, billing) with SOC 2 and HIPAA guardrails built in. Launch in weeks.
- Win back the hours lost to repetitive work
- Custom agents live in weeks, not quarters
- Built around the tools and workflows you already use
Average results across Dodonai engagements. Your numbers depend on firm size, practice area, and which agents you turn on.
The missing middle for small-firm AI
We build AI agents around how your firm already works, then hand them over. They run in your account, scoped to a solo or small-firm budget. It's the middle ground smaller firms rarely get offered: more hands-on than a prompting course, more tailored than an off-the-shelf app, and a fraction of what embedded consultants charge their AmLaw 100 clients.
Built and handed over
You get working agents wired into your stack and ready to run. The implementation is ours, the results are yours. That's the part a prompting course leaves you to figure out alone.
Fit for your practice
Every agent is shaped to your templates, your matter states, and the tools you already use, and it all lives in your account. No bending your practice to fit someone else's app.
Priced for small firms
Builds start in the low four figures, scoped for solo and small firms. It's the same embedded AI work that runs $200k-plus when it's pointed at 500-lawyer shops.
And it's an architecture we run on ourselves every day, so the playbook your firm gets is one that's already in production, not a pitch deck.
Why firms work with us
Full implementation partner
We sit with your team, understand the work, and deliver agents that fit how your firm actually operates. We stay involved through launch and into daily use.
AI-model agnostic
We use the best available model for each job and update as the frontier moves, so you benefit from every new release without switching vendors.
Safety-first architecture
Agents create drafts. They never send, file, or commit anything without your review. Every action is logged, and the attorney stays in the pilot seat.
We optimize your AI spend
New models ship constantly, and so does the cheapest way to run any given task well. We continuously re-architect your agents onto the best price-to-performance option as the frontier moves, because law-firm margins are paramount, and we treat your model spend like our own.
How It Works
Blueprint
We sit with your team, map your highest-leverage workflows, and audit the tools you already use (practice management, email, calendar, document management). You walk away with a written plan that shows exactly which agents to build, in what order, and what each one is expected to save you.
Build
We deploy 3 to 6 custom agents tuned to your firm. Intake triage, deposition prep, deadline monitors, medical chronologies, client update digests, whichever ones save the most attorney hours. Integrations, training, and documentation are all included, and the agents live in your account.
Managed
We keep the agents running, add new ones as your practice changes, and share what we learn from other firms we work with. Monthly reviews, priority support, and continuous improvement on a simple retainer.
Example deliverables
Packaged builds firms start from. Each one is fixed scope with a defined exit point — blend two or three, or assemble agents à la carte.
AI Discovery Audit
Front doorA workflow audit that maps your current work to specific AI agents and sequences them by ROI, plus a software-stack audit that inventories every SaaS line item with a Build / Integrate / Keep recommendation. You leave with a written implementation plan and fixed-fee pricing for the build-out.
Firm Wiki / LLM Brain
Your institutional knowledge (SOPs, templates, voice, condition libraries, theory-of-case patterns) turned into a queryable AI brain and the substrate every future drafting agent reads from. The end of tribal knowledge stuck in folders.
Modern AI Software Stack
Replace narrow-use SaaS with custom internal apps on the Dodonai substrate, and bridge in the tools you keep, including systems with no open API, via email-routing and scraping fallbacks. One integrated firm operating system instead of a dozen disconnected logins.
Marketing Suite
Blog Publisher, Social Repurposer, SEO Topic Scout, Newsletter Drafter, Website Reclamation, and an AI Editor. Typically displaces an outside content-vendor retainer and brings the work in-house.
Discovery Operations Pack
Substantive issue surfacing, financial-forensics scanning, text-message and email-thread parsing, production-set inventory with cite-back to source page, deficiency-letter drafting, and a deadline parser that writes events to your calendar. Works across practice areas.
Managing Partner Dashboard
One screen: practice-area revenue, attorney utilization, matter aging, lead-source ROI, pipeline forecast, per-case status chat ("what's the status on Smith?"), and an auto-compiled Monday-morning brief.

What it costs
Pricing starts at the front door. The AI Discovery Audit is a flat fee, typically $1,500 to $5,000 depending on the size of your firm and the scope of the diagnostic. It's satisfaction-guaranteed: if the plan doesn't leave you with a clear, actionable roadmap, you're under no obligation to continue.
Build and managed costs scale with the number of automations you turn on. A single workflow is a small fixed fee; a foundation plus a multi-agent department build is a larger one. Rather than quote a number in the dark, we price every build as a fixed fee off your Blueprint, so you approve the exact figure before any work starts, and you only buy the next module when the last one has proven itself.
No long-term contracts. Builds are paid 50% at kickoff and 50% at go-live.
How we de-risk this for you
You own what we build
On payment, the workflows, prompts, agents, and integrations we build for you are yours. The skills live in infrastructure your firm controls.
You can walk away with it
If we ever part ways, you get a complete, source-form copy of everything we built, plus the documentation to run or hand it to anyone else. No lock-in.
We never train on your data
Your data and work product are never used to train, tune, or improve anything for any other client, not even in aggregated or anonymized form.
No long-term contract
Each phase is a discrete commitment with a satisfaction guarantee on Discovery and the first build wave.

Legal experts + AI
The attorney stays in every loop. The AI handles the volume.
Every agent we build creates drafts, surfaces signals, and flags deadlines — it never decides, sends, or files on its own. Your team reviews and approves every action. That's not a limitation; it's the architecture. AI handles what scales. Humans handle what matters.
AI Managed Services: Asked & Answered
A Blueprint takes 1 to 2 weeks. A Build can run anywhere from a week to several months depending on scope: a single agent is fast, while rewiring a whole firm is a bigger lift. Managed support is ongoing on a monthly cadence.
