How it works
You don’t have to get organized before you use AI
Getting organized is what happens when you do.
Most firms assume they have to clean up first: move everything into one system, standardize the folders, get the whole team to use the case management system properly. That project never finishes, so the AI never starts.
Albi works the other way around.
- 01
It starts with your information where it is.
Your case management system, your inbox, your shared drive, the scanned files in the closet. Nothing has to move before Albi can begin.
- 02
It builds a working memory of your firm.
Your matters, your clients, your templates and your prior work. That memory belongs to your firm. It is what makes the AI worth anything, and it is the one thing no outside tool can give you.
- 03
It puts that memory to work.
With your approval on every action, and a record of every action.
- 04
You tell it what else you need.
Describe a job the way you would explain it to someone starting Monday. Albi asks the questions it needs, shows you every step it plans to take, and marks the parts it does not know yet. Nothing is built until you approve it. When it runs, the approvals sit where you put them.
Every month we send a status letter to clients in active custody matters. Pull what has happened since the last one, write it plainly with no legal jargon, and put my paralegal on it before anything goes out. If there is a hearing in the next thirty days, that goes at the top.
- Find active custody matters
- Gather activity since the last letter
- Draft the letter in plain language
- Put a hearing inside thirty days at the top
- Send to the paralegal to approve
- Which clients should be left out?
- Which day of the month does it run?
What it does to your numbers
If you bill by the hour, you stop losing time you already worked.
Work that happened but never became a time entry is revenue gone. Albi drafts a time entry from every dictated update, tied to the matter activity behind it, and queues it for approval.
If you charge flat fees, your team carries more matters without adding people.
Forms, summaries, and routine updates are drafted for review instead of built by hand.
If you work on contingency, your side of the calendar stops being the delay.
Records requests, demand letter drafts, and client updates are prepared for approval without an attorney building them from scratch. The waiting comes from the other side, the court, or the records custodian. Not from your office.
Albi does not replace your people. It takes the repetitive, structured, reviewable work off their desks so they spend their time on what only a person can do: think critically and manage relationships.
Your firm has the information. Your people are still doing everything by hand.
Part of the story is in your case management system. The rest is in email, shared drives, scanned files, desktop folders, and closed matters nobody has opened since.
So your team finds the information again, rewrites the document, creates the task, enters the time, updates the matter, and explains what happened to the client. Every time.

An estimate from your numbers, not a promise. Albi prepares the work. Your team approves it.
Why not just use the AI built into your case management system?
It works inside that one system, on whatever made it in there. Albi works across everything your firm actually uses, finishes the task, and waits for your approval. It runs on top of the case management system you already have, Clio today, and any system with an open API.
Their tools give you a finished answer. Albi gives you an answer you can defend line by line.
