AI Time Capture Agent
Watches your email, calendar, and document edits during the day. At day's end, drafts the time entries with the matter, the activity, the duration, and a defensible narrative. You review and post. The unbilled work that used to slip stays on the bill.
- Activity reconstructed from email, calendar, and document edits
- Time entries drafted per matter with a defensible narrative
- End-of-day review queue, not a constantly-pinging interruption
- Realization-rate uplift typically 8 to 15% in the first quarter

The 2 hours that would have stayed unbilled
You spent your Monday on the Patel matter: 2 emails to opposing counsel in the morning, 45 minutes editing the discovery responses, a 30-minute call you didn't put on the calendar, an hour reviewing the supplemental medical records that came in. You meant to enter the time. By Friday only the 45-minute drafting block made it into your billing system. The Time Capture agent drafts all 4 entries on Monday at 6pm with the defensible narrative attached. You review them in 90 seconds, post them, and Tuesday's bill reflects what Monday actually was.

Practice-area fit
Every engagement tunes the agent to your firm's specific matter mix. The areas below are where we've seen this agent fit most naturally.
Function
Safety posture
Entries are drafts. The attorney reviews and posts. The agent doesn't bill the client; it surfaces what the day looked like and lets the attorney decide what's billable. Entries flagged as ambiguous (a meeting that touched multiple matters, a research block with unclear attribution) wait for the attorney's call rather than guessing.
Frequently Asked Questions
The agent classifies activity as billable, non-billable, or ambiguous. Non-billable entries (firm administration, business development, internal meetings) go into the corresponding internal time category rather than to a client matter. The classifications are tunable per attorney.
