How does Clio Duo work?

Clio Duo is a legal AI tool powered by the latest Microsoft Azure OpenAI GPT-4 technology that works inside Clio Manage to amplify the way legal professionals work.

Clio Duo leverages your data inside of Clio’s case management platform to improve decision-making, efficiency, caseload visibility, communication, and compliance.

Unlike open-source AI tools like ChatGPT, Clio Duo uses your firm’s data to amplify your productivity from a single workspace. From mapping out your schedule to turning information into insights, Clio Duo does the heavy lifting so you can focus on the things that matter most.

The rise of AI in the legal industry

The adoption of AI is only increasing–according to our latest Legal Trends Report, 79% of law firms are now using AI in some capacity, and one in four firms (24%) have already widely or fully integrated AI into their operations. Additionally, more than 80% of law firms expect to grow their AI usage in the next 12 months.

Beyond operational improvements, AI can help enhance client experience by boosting efficiency across your firm. Firm staff can focus on delivering a better client-centric experience, and grow their firms by devoting time and resources to marketing and attracting new clients.

In fact, clients are beginning to prefer that law firms use AI, with 70% of clients being either neutral or preferring that law firms use AI, with strong openness across generations: 81% of Gen Z, 75% of Millennials, 68% of Gen X, and 59% of Boomers are receptive to AI in legal services.

Lawyer clients preferences of AI usage

For lawyers, time is money, and with AI tools like Clio Duo, they’re reclaiming valuable hours and raising the bar for efficiency both within their firms and across the legal industry.

What sets Clio Duo apart from the rest

While many AI solutions are available, a few key factors set Clio Duo apart, making it the leading choice for lawyers and legal professionals.

When using open-source AI tools and chatbots, like ChatGPT, you can easily enter too much information or include sensitive information when attempting to summarize or find information within a document.

With Clio Duo, you can harness the power of AI without concerns about compromising your clients’ data. Clio Duo operates securely with Clio Manage, our case management platform using only its data. No data is used to train large language models (LLMs)—ensuring full data safety and privacy. It respects user permissions, ensuring users can only access what they are authorized to see, control data access, maintain security, and minimize unauthorized access across your firm.

As Clio Duo evolves, it will continue to expand, offering even more automation features, all driven by Clio’s commitment to delivering top-tier software that enables lawyers to focus on the work only they can do.

AI is your partner, but it won’t replace you. While Clio Duo automates many tasks, your legal expertise remains crucial for ensuring precision. Check for accuracy, check your bias, and use your professional judgment in reviewing AI outputs.

Ultimately, Clio Duo is a tool to enhance, not substitute, ensuring that human insight and experience remain central to your practice.
