Clio
today
announced
two
notable
updates
to
its
AI
product
line:
the
addition
of
agentic
capabilities
to
Clio
Work,
and
the
launch
of
a
standalone
Vincent
by
Clio
mobile
app
for
iOS
and
Android.
Agentic
Clio
Work
When
Clio
CEO
Jack
Newton
unveiled
Clio
Work
at
ClioCon
last
October
—
in
a
keynote
that
left
attendees
variously
shell-shocked,
thrilled
and
overwhelmed
—
he
described
it
as
the
realization
of
Clio’s
vision
for
an
“intelligent
legal
work
platform”
that
would
dissolve
the
traditional
boundary
between
the
business
and
practice
of
law.
Today’s
update
extends
that
vision
with
the
addition
of
agentic
capabilities,
enabling
Clio
Work
to
handle
complex,
multi-step
legal
tasks
from
a
single
natural-language
prompt.
Rather
than
requiring
users
to
manage
each
step
individually,
Clio
says,
lawyers
can
now
issue
goal-oriented
instructions
—
such
as
“build
a
defense
strategy”
or
“find
everything
that
could
kill
this
deal
before
signing”
—
and
Clio
Work
determines
and
executes
the
sequence
of
steps
needed
to
accomplish
the
task.
The
agentic
capabilities
are
powered
by
what
Clio
calls
a
“skills
infrastructure”
—
a
set
of
legal-aware
capabilities
that
Clio
Work
can
invoke
autonomously
depending
on
what
a
task
requires.
These
skills
evolved
from
Clio
Work’s
existing
workflows
but
no
longer
require
the
user
to
trigger
them
manually.
Clio
Work
understands
the
goal,
determines
which
skills
are
needed,
and
executes
across
them
in
a
single,
continuous
experience.
To
keep
lawyers
in
the
loop,
the
company
says,
Clio
Work
displays
real-time
thinking
traces
so
users
can
see
how
work
is
progressing,
and
can
interrupt,
redirect,
or
refine
directions
mid-task.
“Clio
Work’s
agentic
capabilities
allow
legal
practitioners
to
delegate
complex,
multi-step
tasks
to
a
truly
collaborative
AI
assistant,
without
sacrificing
control
or
visibility
into
workflows,”
said
John
Foreman,
Clio’s
chief
product
officer.
Clio
says
84
percent
of
AI
queries
on
the
platform
are
already
submitted
as
freeform,
goal-based
requests,
suggesting
that
lawyers
are
naturally
inclined
to
interact
with
AI
the
same
way
they
would
describe
work
to
a
colleague.
The
agentic
capabilities
are
applied
automatically
for
all
Clio
Work
users
with
no
setup
or
configuration
required.
Vincent
Mobile
App
Separately,
Clio
also
announced
today
the
launch
of
the
Vincent
by
Clio
mobile
app,
which
extends
Vincent’s
legal
AI
capabilities
to
iPhone
and
Android
for
the
first
time.
Clio
says
that
the
app
lets
lawyers
ask
questions,
upload
and
analyze
documents,
and
get
answers
grounded
in
cited
legal
authority
—
all
from
their
phones.
Users
can
upload
complaints,
motions,
briefs,
and
transcripts
directly
from
their
devices
to
quickly
surface
key
risks,
arguments,
and
next
steps.
For
Clio
Work
subscribers,
the
mobile
app
also
draws
on
the
full
context
of
a
matter
—
including
client
communications,
deadlines,
and
case
activity
—
so
that
analysis
reflects
what
is
actually
happening
in
the
case.
Work
started
on
mobile
can
be
continued
on
desktop
without
losing
context.
The
Vincent
by
Clio
mobile
app
is
available
now
on
iOS
and
Android.
