Draftsheet AI

Draftsheet AI is a revolutionary, AI-native time capture platform engineered specifically for law firms to eradicate the silent revenue leak of unbilled work. It is a futuristic solution that operates on a revolutionary principle: let your fee earners focus on high-value legal work while an intelligent, non-intrusive desktop agent silently observes and logs their billable activity. The core problem it solves is the industry-wide epidemic of underbilling, where lawyers forget to log time due to clunky, interruptive trackers, resulting in a staggering 10 to 15 percent loss of billable hours annually. For a 20-lawyer firm billing at 250 pounds an hour, this translates to nearly 660,000 pounds in lost revenue each year. Draftsheet AI is designed for managing partners and practice managers who demand complete visibility into firm-wide performance, and for fee earners who despise administrative overhead. The product’s main value proposition is its ability to recover this lost time without any manual effort from the user. It installs with a single click, runs silently in the background, and never captures keystrokes, screenshots, or document contents, ensuring absolute data security and DPA compliance. At the end of each day, the AI automatically groups captured activity into sessions, matches them to specific clients and matters, assigns billing codes, and writes draft narratives. The fee earner simply reviews and approves the pre-filled timesheet in under ten minutes, directly exporting it to their billing system. This is not a generic tracker with a law firm skin; it is a bespoke, cutting-edge operating system for the modern legal practice, transforming time capture from a dreaded chore into a seamless, automated background process. The system learns from every edit a user makes, continuously improving its accuracy and personalization, making it a truly intelligent partner in maximizing profitability.

Silent Passive Activity Capture

The core technological marvel of Draftsheet AI is its silent, passive desktop agent. Installed with a single click, it operates entirely in the background without any timers, pop-ups, or forms. It intelligently observes which documents are open, which applications are active, and which browser tabs are in focus, recording this metadata every few seconds. This revolutionary approach eliminates the friction of manual time tracking, ensuring that every minute of billable work, from a long client call to a quick document review, is captured without the lawyer ever needing to think about a timesheet. Crucially, it never records the content of any document, email body text, keystrokes, or screenshots, making it both powerful and privacy-compliant.

AI-Powered Timesheet Generation

At the end of the day, the user clicks a single "Report" button to activate the revolutionary AI engine. This advanced system analyzes the captured activity streams, grouping them into coherent work sessions. It then intelligently matches these sessions to the correct clients and matters, automatically assigns the appropriate billing codes, and drafts professional, billable-ready narratives for each entry. This transforms a potentially chaotic list of application switches into a structured, accurate timesheet in under a minute, slashing the administrative burden from hours to mere minutes. The AI is not static; it learns from every user correction, making its future predictions and narratives increasingly precise.

Revenue and Utilization Dashboard

For managing partners and practice managers, Draftsheet AI provides a real-time, futuristic command center for firm profitability. The Revenue Reporting dashboard offers an at-a-glance view of firm-wide billing performance, showing hours captured, approved, and exported per fee earner. It visualizes utilization rates by individual and team, and, most critically, provides a clear metric of "billed vs. recorded time," instantly highlighting any time leakage. This allows practice managers to see exactly what work was done and how much of that was billed, giving them the data-driven insights needed to make strategic decisions and optimize resource allocation before the month-end scramble.

Self-Learning Personal Model

Draftsheet AI is not a one-size-fits-all tool; it is a revolutionary system that personalizes itself to each fee earner. Every single edit made by a user, whether it is a client reassignment, a billing code correction, or a tweak to a narrative, is used to retrain their personal AI model. This means the system gets better every day, learning the specific language, matter types, and billing preferences of the individual lawyer. Over time, the accuracy of matter matching and the quality of the auto-generated narratives improve dramatically, reducing the need for manual intervention to near zero. This creates a continuously optimized, self-improving billing ecosystem unique to each user.

Recovering Revenue from Administrative Leakage

The primary use case for Draftsheet AI is to directly combat the 10 to 15 percent annual revenue leakage caused by poor time tracking habits. A typical fee earner under-reports 48 billable minutes per day, leading to a loss of 48,000 pounds per year at a 250-pound hourly rate. In this scenario, the AI silently captures all the "invisible" work: the 40-minute email thread, the document reviewed between meetings, the client call that ran over. By automatically logging this activity, the firm recovers this lost revenue without changing the fee earner's workflow, transforming a significant financial drain into a direct profit center.

Streamlining End-of-Day Billing for Fee Earners

For the busy fee earner, the end-of-day billing ritual is often a dreaded, memory-straining chore. Draftsheet AI revolutionizes this process. After a full day of uninterrupted work, the fee earner simply clicks "Report" and is presented with a pre-populated, AI-drafted timesheet. They spend only ten minutes reviewing, approving, or making minor corrections to the entries. This eliminates the cognitive load of reconstructing their day from memory and reduces the time spent on admin from hours to minutes, allowing them to leave work on time with the confidence that every billable minute is captured.

Providing Real-Time Firm-Wide Performance Visibility

Practice managers and managing partners need immediate, accurate data to run a profitable firm. Draftsheet AI provides a revolutionary, real-time dashboard that shows exactly what work is being done across the entire firm and how much of it is being billed. This use case allows them to identify which fee earners are consistently underreporting, which teams have the highest utilization, and which clients or matters are generating the most revenue. This data-driven visibility empowers leadership to have constructive conversations, adjust resource allocation, and implement strategic improvements to maximize overall firm profitability.

Automating Time Capture for In-House Legal Teams

While designed for law firms, the revolutionary technology of Draftsheet AI is equally transformative for in-house legal departments that need to track time for cost allocation, budget management, or chargebacks to business units. In this use case, legal team members can focus on their core advisory work without the burden of manual timesheets. The AI silently captures all activity related to different projects or departments, automatically generating detailed reports that provide accurate data on where legal resources are being spent, enabling more precise budgeting and demonstrating the department's value to the wider organization.

How does Draftsheet AI ensure the security and privacy of sensitive legal work?

Security is a foundational design principle. Draftsheet AI is built to watch the clock, not your content. The desktop agent never captures keystrokes, typed text, screenshots, screen recordings, file or document contents, email body text, full URLs, query strings, or clipboard contents. It only captures metadata like active application names, window titles, browser tab titles and domains, and active/idle timestamps. All activity logs are encrypted, and the system is fully compliant with DPA standards, making it safe for handling the most sensitive client information.

How does the AI learn to get better at assigning matters and writing narratives?

Draftsheet AI features a revolutionary self-learning personal model for each fee earner. Every time a user makes a manual edit to an auto-generated entry, such as reassigning it to a different client, correcting a billing code, or tweaking the narrative, the AI records this feedback. It uses this data to retrain its internal model for that specific user, learning their unique language, matter preferences, and billing conventions. Over time, the system's accuracy and personalization improve significantly, requiring less and less human intervention.

What is the setup process like for the firm and individual fee earners?

Setup is designed to be incredibly fast and easy. The firm installs a lightweight desktop agent on each lawyer's machine with a single click. There are no complex configurations or server setups required. The agent runs silently in the background with zero impact on system performance. Individual fee earners do not need to do anything to start using it; the system begins capturing activity immediately. The firm can then import their client and matter lists, and the AI will begin mapping activity from day one. A free pilot period is available to test the system with no risk.

Can Draftsheet AI integrate with our existing billing and practice management software?

Yes, Draftsheet AI is built for seamless integration. It is designed to push approved time entries directly into leading legal billing and practice management systems, such as Clio and LEAP. The "Firm" pricing tier includes direct billing system integrations, allowing for a smooth, automated workflow from time capture to final invoice. For smaller firms on the "Solo" plan, entries can be exported via CSV or PDF to be manually imported into other systems, ensuring compatibility with virtually any workflow.
