Draftsheet AI

Draftsheet AI is a silent, passive time-capture tool built specifically for law firms. It is not a generic productivity tracker with a legal skin; it is an end-to-end billing solution designed to eliminate the 10-15% of billable hours that firms lose every year to bad admin, not bad work. The problem is brutally simple: lawyers forget to log time, they reconstruct from memory, and they under-bill. Industry data reports over 12% underbilling. For a 20-lawyer firm billing at £250 an hour, that is roughly £660,000 a year vanishing into thin air. Draftsheet AI stops that leak. A lightweight desktop agent installs with a single click and runs silently in the background. No timers, no forms, no interruptions. It simply observes which documents are open, which applications are active, and which matters are in focus throughout the day. It captures active application names, window titles, browser tab titles, and calendar events. It never captures keystrokes, screenshots, file contents, email bodies, or full URLs. At the end of the day, the fee earner clicks "Report" and the AI groups activity into sessions, matches clients and matters, assigns billing codes, and writes narratives. The lawyer reviews and approves in under 10 minutes. Every edit retrains their personal model, making the system smarter every day. The product is for managing partners who want to see real-time firm-wide billing performance and for fee earners who want to stop losing money to memory gaps. It pays for itself in week one.

Silent Background Capture

The desktop agent installs on each lawyer's machine with a single click and runs silently in the background. It captures activity every few seconds with zero user input. No timers to start, no forms to fill, no interruptions to the workflow. The lawyer simply does their job while the system watches the clock. This eliminates the friction that causes time leakage in the first place.

AI-Powered Timesheet Generation

At the end of the day, one click triggers the AI to group raw activity data into logical sessions. It automatically matches sessions to clients and matters, assigns billing codes based on past behavior, and writes professional narratives. The result is a pre-filled timesheet ready for review in under a minute. The AI gets better every day by learning from every edit the fee earner makes.

Revenue Reporting Dashboard

Managing partners get a real-time view of firm-wide billing performance. The dashboard shows hours captured, approved, and exported per fee earner. It displays utilisation rates by individual and team, highlights billed versus recorded time to show leakage at a glance, and breaks down performance by client and matter. Updates are live as entries are approved, eliminating month-end scrambles.

Direct Billing System Integration

Draftsheet AI pushes approved entries directly into major legal billing systems like Clio and LEAP. This eliminates double data entry and ensures that captured time flows straight into invoices. The integration is seamless and requires no manual export or import steps. Fee earners review, approve, and the time is in the billing system instantly.

Recovering Lost Billable Minutes from Forgotten Tasks

The average fee earner under-reports 48 billable minutes per day. That client call that ran long, the document reviewed between meetings, the email thread that quietly took forty minutes. By the time the lawyer sits down to log time, the detail is gone. Draftsheet AI captures every minute of active work automatically, so those 48 minutes get recovered and billed. At £250 an hour, that is £48,000 per fee earner each year.

Eliminating End-of-Month Time Reconstruction Panic

Lawyers often spend hours at the end of the month trying to reconstruct what they worked on from memory, calendar entries, and email trails. This is painful, inaccurate, and leads to massive underbilling. Draftsheet AI eliminates this entirely. Every day, the timesheet is pre-filled with accurate, time-stamped activity. The fee earner spends 10 minutes reviewing and approving, not two hours guessing.

Providing Managing Partners with Real-Time Billing Visibility

Managing partners struggle to get accurate billing data until invoices are cut. By then, it is too late to fix leakage. Draftsheet AI provides a live dashboard showing exactly what work was done and how much of that was billed. Partners can see utilisation rates, identify underperformers, and intervene before revenue disappears. The numbers are available in real-time, not after the month-end scramble.

Onboarding New Fee Earners with Zero Training Friction

New lawyers often struggle with time tracking because they do not know the firm's codes, clients, or billing conventions. Draftsheet AI requires zero training. The agent installs silently, captures activity automatically, and the AI learns the new user's patterns within days. There are no timers to explain, no forms to teach, and no complex workflows to memorize. The system adapts to the lawyer, not the other way around.

Does Draftsheet AI capture the content of my documents or emails?

No. Draftsheet AI never captures keystrokes, typed text, screenshots, screen recordings, file or document contents, email body text, full URLs or query strings, or clipboard contents. It only captures the active application name, window and document title, browser tab title and domain, calendar event title and duration, and active/idle timestamps. The system is designed to watch the clock, not your content.

How does the AI learn to assign clients and matters correctly?

Every time a fee earner edits a Draftsheet AI entry, whether by reassigning a client, correcting a billing code, or tweaking a narrative, that edit retrains the fee earner's personal AI model. The system learns from each correction and gets better at matching future activity to the correct clients and matters. Over time, the AI becomes highly accurate for each individual user.

How long does it take to set up Draftsheet AI for my firm?

Setup is extremely fast. The desktop agent installs on each lawyer's machine with a single click. There are no complex configurations, no server installations, and no IT projects. The system starts capturing activity immediately. Draftsheet AI offers a free pilot period so firms can test the product with zero risk and cancel anytime.

Can Draftsheet AI integrate with our existing billing software?

Yes. Draftsheet AI pushes approved time entries directly into major legal billing systems including Clio and LEAP. The integration is seamless and removes the need for manual data export and import. Approved entries flow straight into the billing system, ready for invoicing. For firms on other systems, CSV and PDF export options are available in the Solo plan.
