Draftsheet AI

Draftsheet AI is a desktop application designed specifically for law firms to eliminate the problem of lost billable time. Every day, lawyers perform valuable work that never gets recorded on a timesheet. This happens because traditional time trackers are cumbersome, easy to forget, and require lawyers to manually log details hours after the work is done. Industry data shows that firms lose 10 to 15 percent of their billable hours each year due to this administrative gap. For a 20-lawyer firm billing at 250 pounds an hour, that amounts to roughly 660,000 pounds in lost revenue annually.

Draftsheet AI solves this by running silently in the background on each lawyer's computer. It observes which documents are open, which applications are active, and which matters are in focus throughout the day. It never records keystrokes, screenshots, or any document content. At the end of the day, the lawyer clicks a single button to generate a pre-filled timesheet. The AI groups activity into sessions, matches clients and matters, assigns billing codes, and writes narratives. The lawyer simply reviews and approves the entries in under ten minutes. The system learns from each edit, making it more accurate over time. This product is ideal for managing partners, practice managers, and fee earners at small to mid-sized law firms who want to recover lost revenue without adding administrative burden.

Silent Desktop Agent

The lightweight desktop agent installs on each lawyer's machine with a single click. It runs entirely in the background with no timers, pop-ups, or interruptions. The agent captures active application names, window and document titles, browser tab titles and domains, calendar event titles and durations, and active or idle timestamps every few seconds. It never captures keystrokes, typed text, screenshots, screen recordings, file contents, email body text, full URLs, or clipboard contents. This ensures lawyers can focus completely on their work without any distraction.

AI Timesheet Generation

At the end of the day, a single click generates a complete timesheet. The artificial intelligence groups the captured activity into logical work sessions. It automatically matches activities to the correct clients and matters, assigns appropriate billing codes, and writes professional narratives describing the work performed. The entire process takes less than ten minutes to review and approve. Each time a lawyer edits an entry by reassigning a client, correcting a billing code, or tweaking a narrative, the personal AI model learns and improves its accuracy for future days.

Fee Earner Dashboard

Each fee earner sees only their own work in a clean, simple dashboard. The dashboard displays pre-filled time entries built from the day's passive activity capture. Lawyers can approve entries with one click, dismiss entries that are not billable, reassign entries to different clients or matters, merge or split work sessions, and edit the AI-drafted narratives. Entries can be exported directly to the firm's billing system. This dashboard puts the lawyer in full control while eliminating the tedious manual logging process.

Revenue Reporting for Management

Managing partners and practice managers get a real-time view of firm-wide billing performance. The reporting dashboard shows hours captured, approved, and exported per fee earner. It displays utilisation rates by individual and by team. The system highlights leakage by comparing billed time versus recorded time at a glance. Reports can be broken down by client and matter. All data updates in real time as entries are approved, giving leadership the numbers they need before the month-end scramble begins.

Recovering Lost Billable Minutes from Daily Work

The average fee earner under-reports 48 billable minutes per day. This time is lost through client calls that run long, documents reviewed between meetings, and email threads that quietly take forty minutes. By the time a lawyer sits down to log time, the detail is gone. Draftsheet AI captures this activity automatically as it happens. The lawyer simply reviews and approves the pre-filled entries at the end of the day. For a single fee earner billing at 250 pounds per hour, this recovers 48,000 pounds in lost revenue each year.

Streamlining End of Day Timesheet Review

Instead of spending twenty to thirty minutes reconstructing a day's work from memory, lawyers spend under ten minutes reviewing and approving their AI-generated timesheet. The system groups all activity into logical sessions, matches them to the correct matters, and writes professional narratives. Lawyers can approve entries, merge sessions, or make quick edits. This turns a dreaded administrative chore into a simple, fast review process that fits naturally at the end of the workday.

Improving Firm-Wide Billing Accuracy and Revenue

Managing partners can see exactly what work was done across the firm and how much of that work was actually billed. The revenue reporting dashboard provides real-time visibility into utilisation rates and time leakage per fee earner and per team. This allows practice managers to identify underperforming areas, provide targeted coaching, and ensure the firm captures every billable minute. The result is a direct increase in firm revenue without adding any additional hours of work.

Onboarding New Lawyers and Paralegals

New fee earners often struggle with time tracking habits during their first months at a firm. Draftsheet AI removes this learning curve entirely. The system captures all activity from day one, so new lawyers never have to remember to start or stop a timer. The AI learns their specific clients, matters, and billing codes over time. This ensures that even junior team members contribute accurate, billable time from their very first day. The system reduces training time and eliminates the common problem of new hires underreporting their work.

Is Draftsheet AI secure for a law firm environment?

Yes, security is a core design principle. Draftsheet AI is designed 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, or clipboard contents. All activity logs are encrypted. The system is DPA compliant as standard. This means your confidential client information and privileged work product remain completely private and secure.

How long does it take to set up Draftsheet AI?

Setup is fast and simple. The desktop agent installs on each lawyer's machine with a single click. There are no complex configurations or integrations required to get started. The system begins capturing activity immediately after installation. Lawyers can start reviewing their first AI-generated timesheet on the same day. Draftsheet AI offers a free pilot period so your firm can test the system with no commitment and cancel at any time.

Does Draftsheet AI integrate with my existing billing software?

Yes, Draftsheet AI integrates directly with popular legal billing systems including Clio and LEAP. After a lawyer reviews and approves their timesheet entries, they can push the approved time directly to the billing system with a single click. The system also supports CSV and PDF export for firms using other billing platforms. This seamless integration ensures that Draftsheet AI fits into your existing workflow without disruption.

How does the AI learn and improve over time?

The AI model is personal to each fee earner. Every time a lawyer makes an edit to an AI-generated entry, such as reassigning a client, correcting a billing code, or tweaking a narrative, that edit is used to retrain the personal model. The system learns the lawyer's specific clients, matters, billing codes, and writing style. This means the AI becomes more accurate and requires fewer edits each day. Over time, the review process becomes faster and more effortless.
