Draftsheet AI

Draftsheet AI is a revolutionary time capture platform built specifically for law firms that transforms how legal professionals log their billable hours. It directly addresses the industry's persistent problem of underbilling, where firms lose 10 to 15 percent of their billable time every year simply because fee earners forget to track their work or reconstruct their day from memory. Designed for managing partners, practice managers, and fee earners alike, Draftsheet AI eliminates the friction of traditional time tracking by running silently in the background on each lawyer's machine. The lightweight desktop agent installs with a single click and observes which documents are open, which applications are active, and which matters are in focus throughout the day, all without ever recording keystrokes, screenshots, or file contents. At the end of each day, the AI groups this activity into meaningful sessions, matches clients and matters, assigns billing codes, and writes draft narratives, allowing fee earners to review and approve their timesheet in under ten minutes. The result is complete time capture that recovers the average 48 billable minutes lost per fee earner each day, which at 250 pounds per hour represents nearly 48,000 pounds in recovered revenue per lawyer annually. Draftsheet AI is not a generic tracker with a law firm skin; it is built end-to-end for legal billing workflows and integrates directly with systems like Clio and LEAP. With encrypted activity logs, minimal data capture, and full DPA compliance, it provides complete security while empowering firms to stop the silent revenue drain and let their fee earners focus on high-value legal work.

Silent Passive Time Capture

The desktop agent installs with a single click and runs completely in the background with no timers, no forms, and no interruptions to the fee earner's workflow. It captures active application names, window and document titles, browser tab titles and domains, calendar event details, and active or idle timestamps every few seconds. This means the lawyer simply does their job, and the time is captured automatically without any manual effort.

AI-Powered Timesheet Generation

At the end of each day, a single click triggers the AI to group all captured activity into logical work sessions. The system automatically matches activity to the correct clients and matters, assigns appropriate billing codes, and writes detailed draft narratives describing the work performed. This transforms raw activity data into ready-to-approve time entries in under one minute.

Personal Model Learning

Every edit a fee earner makes, whether reassigning a client, correcting a billing code, or tweaking a narrative, retrains their personal AI model. The system learns each user's preferences and patterns over time, becoming more accurate and requiring fewer corrections with each passing day. This continuous improvement means the tool adapts to individual workflows and gets better at predicting the right client, matter, and code.

Real-Time Revenue Reporting

Managing partners and practice managers gain a live view of firm-wide billing performance through an intuitive dashboard. They can see hours captured, approved, and exported per fee earner, utilization rates by individual and team, billed versus recorded time to identify leakage at a glance, and breakdowns by client and matter. This visibility eliminates the month-end scramble and provides actionable data for improving firm profitability.

Recovering Lost Billable Time from Daily Interruptions

A corporate lawyer has a client call that runs long, reviews a document between meetings, and handles an email thread that quietly takes forty minutes. Traditional time trackers make it easy to forget these small but valuable blocks of work. Draftsheet AI captures every minute of active work automatically, including the document review in Word, the email thread in Outlook, and the client call from the calendar event, ensuring no time is lost and the lawyer can bill for every minute worked.

Streamlining End-of-Day Timesheet Review for Fee Earners

Instead of spending twenty to thirty minutes each evening trying to reconstruct their day from memory and searching for which client they worked on, fee earners open Draftsheet AI and find a pre-populated timesheet. They spend just ten minutes reviewing, approving, reassigning entries, or editing narratives. This dramatically reduces administrative burden and mental fatigue while improving time capture accuracy.

Providing Managing Partners with Real-Time Utilization Insights

A managing partner at a twenty-lawyer firm wants to understand which fee earners are underutilized and where time leakage is occurring. With Draftsheet AI's revenue reporting dashboard, they can see exactly how many hours each lawyer captured versus how many were actually billed, identify patterns of underbilling across teams, and make data-driven decisions about resource allocation, training, or process improvements to maximize firm profitability.

Integrating Seamlessly with Existing Legal Billing Systems

A mid-sized firm already uses Clio or LEAP for billing and does not want to disrupt established workflows. Draftsheet AI integrates directly with these systems, allowing approved time entries to be pushed into the billing software with a single click. This eliminates double data entry, reduces errors, and ensures that the enhanced time capture flows directly into the firm's existing accounting and invoicing processes.

Draftsheet AI offers two pricing tiers designed to fit firms of different sizes. The Solo plan is ideal for sole practitioners and small firms and includes passive activity capture, AI timesheet generation, billing code auto-assignment, CSV and PDF export, 30-day data retention, client and matter import, and email and chat support. The Firm plan is designed for mid-sized firms and includes everything in Solo plus revenue reporting, direct billing system integrations, client and matter management, a utilization dashboard, 90-day data retention, and phone support. Both plans come with a free pilot period, no setup fees, and a per-seat annual contract structure. The product typically pays for itself in the first week by recovering lost billable time.

How does Draftsheet AI ensure client confidentiality and data security?

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 query strings, or clipboard contents. It only captures active application names, window and document titles, browser tab titles and domains, calendar event titles and durations, and active or idle timestamps. All activity logs are encrypted, data capture is minimal, and the platform is fully DPA compliant.

How long does it take to set up Draftsheet AI in a law firm?

Setup is fast and easy. The desktop agent installs on each lawyer's machine with a single click and begins running silently in the background immediately. There are no complex configurations, no timers to set, and no forms to fill out. The platform offers a free pilot period so firms can test the system with zero commitment and see the impact on time capture before signing a contract.

What billing systems does Draftsheet AI integrate with?

Draftsheet AI integrates directly with popular legal billing systems including Clio and LEAP, with more integrations available. Approved time entries can be exported directly to these systems with a single click, eliminating manual data entry and ensuring that captured time flows seamlessly into the firm's existing billing and invoicing workflows. CSV and PDF export options are also available for firms using other systems.

How accurate is the AI timesheet generation, and does it improve over time?

The AI is highly accurate from day one, grouping activity into logical sessions and matching clients and matters based on document titles, application usage, and calendar events. Importantly, every edit a fee earner makes, whether reassigning a client, correcting a billing code, or tweaking a narrative, retrains that user's personal AI model. This means the system continuously learns individual preferences and patterns, becoming more accurate and requiring fewer manual corrections with each passing day.
