Billables AI: Streamlining Legal Timekeeping with Automated Precision

We’ve all heard the saying “time is money”, but nobody feels this as deeply as legal professionals.  In a profession where every billable minute (quite literally) matters, Billables AI offers a game-changing solution to help lawyers reclaim their time (and money) and focus on their core work. This new AI-powered platform promises to solve a nagging problem faced by legal professionals —  accurate, efficient timekeeping — while enhancing productivity and maintaining the highest levels of security. With early adopters already reporting 15-30% more billable hours captured and 90% less time spent on billing tasks like writing narrative descriptions, Billables AI may just be the next essential tool in lawyers’ arsenal.

Automating Timekeeping for Modern Legal Teams

Billables AI offers more than just a stopwatch; it’s a first-of-its-kind automated billable time reporting tool that works seamlessly in the background, capturing and organizing billable hours without interrupting workflows. The platform integrates directly with tools like Microsoft Office, Zoom, Adobe and Google Chrome, recording activities as they happen. Most lawyers never thought this day would come – however, gone are the days of manually tracking time or starting and stopping timers — Billables AI does it all automatically, matching entries to the correct clients and cases with precision.

Each time entry produced by Billables AI includes detailed narratives, automatically generated based on user activity and tailored to fit billing preferences and outside counsel guidelines. And the best part? The more the system is used, the better it becomes. Through advanced machine learning, Billables AI adjusts to users’ personal billing styles over time, ensuring each report is polished and personalized. Importantly, this is all done on an individual basis – Billables AI never trains models on user data.

Reducing the Burden of Billing

Billing is often cited as one of the most tedious aspects of legal work. Billables AI tackles this head-on – it creates a first draft of billing reports, freeing lawyers to focus on their clients and case strategies rather than wrestling with time entries and narrative writing. With all the benefits of Billables AI, firms are not only becoming more efficient but also improving revenue streams by ensuring no billable task slips through the cracks.

By automating this process, Billables AI provides a modern solution that meets lawyers where they work, without disrupting their day-to-day operations. Whether they are conducting a Zoom deposition or preparing a brief, the platform ensures that billable activities are captured accurately and in real time.

Built on Security and Trust

Billables AI’s commitment to data privacy and security is at the core of its design. The platform operates on a best-in-class infrastructure powered by Microsoft Azure and follows rigorous security protocols, including encryption during transmission and at rest. Customer data is isolated and accessible only to authorized users, with strict access controls and audit trails in place to detect unauthorized access.

Billables AI does not store privileged data beyond what is needed to generate a billable record. This ensures that sensitive information remains secure and under the client’s control at all times. With continuous monitoring and in-progress SOC2 and GDPR compliance efforts, Billables AI aligns with the latest industry standards, offering legal professionals and their clients peace of mind.

Seamless Integration with Legal Workflows

Billables AI fits seamlessly into the tools and systems legal professionals already use. Single sign-on (SSO) capabilities with platforms like Microsoft and Zoom provide secure access, while role-based access controls ensure only authorized users have visibility into sensitive data. The platform’s integration with familiar tools eliminates the need for disruptive changes, making it easy for firms to adopt and implement.

Whether it’s organizing activities from a video conference, writing emails, or preparing contracts, Billables AI captures every relevant activity and transforms it into an accurate time entry. By automating this process, the platform drastically decreases the risk of lost billable hours and ensures lawyers maximize productivity without additional effort.

Proven Results from Early Adopters

Law firms like Zigler Law Group, Kronenberger Rosenfeld, and Rogers Joseph O’Donnell have already experienced the benefits of Billables AI. These early adopters report a significant increase in billable hours captured, as well as a drastic reduction in time spent on administrative tasks. The ability to generate detailed reports without manual intervention has streamlined operations, improved revenue capture, and freed lawyers to focus more of their time on high value work.

The Future of Legal Timekeeping

Billables AI is more than just a timekeeping tool — it’s a solution that empowers lawyers and legal professionals to work smarter, not harder. By automating routine tasks and capturing every billable moment, the platform aligns with the evolving needs of the modern legal industry. With a user-centric design, advanced machine learning capabilities, and industry-leading security, Billables AI delivers a comprehensive tool that redefines productivity and efficiency for professional service providers.
