An AI helper inside Clio's law practice software that drafts client emails, summarizes case notes, and pulls court dates into the calendar, now becoming Manage AI.
Clio Duo is an AI helper inside Clio, a law practice management tool for small and growing law firms. Staff use it to draft client emails, summarize case notes, and pull key dates from court documents into the calendar. It can also suggest time entries and draft invoices from matter data. Duo only uses a firm's own Clio data, and Clio says it does not train outside models on client information; every AI action is logged for review. Clio holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications. Clio has begun rolling this feature out under a new name, Manage AI, so confirm current branding.
This fits a small or growing law firm that already runs its practice on Clio Manage and wants to cut time on routine writing and administrative work rather than outside legal research. Third-party estimates put the AI add-on near $39 to $59 per user a month on top of a base Clio subscription; treat this as a rough planning number and confirm against Clio's current pricing page. A sensible starting point is turning the feature on for one or two staff members before a firm-wide rollout. One limitation is scope, since Duo only reads information already stored inside Clio and will not reach outside documents or email threads, and as with any AI writing tool, a person should still review its drafts before they reach a client.

Estimate assumptions: Based on 1 production workspace. This is a planning allowance, not verified product pricing. Confirm the vendor’s billing unit and current price or quote before budgeting.
Benefits have not been estimated: The current research does not estimate potential savings, return on investment, or how long it would take to recover the cost. Earlier benefit estimates are excluded.
Confirm current product identity, commercial packaging, data processing terms, sign-in and access rules, retention, integrations, support model, implementation effort, and rollback conditions.
Verify identity, package, availability, ownership, pricing, and security evidence before approving a pilot
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
Define what success looks like for a test of Clio Duo and assign someone to lead it.
Once the requirements above are met, compare a small trial with how your team works today.
Track adoption, output quality, business results, and actual costs against the estimate.
Use the results to decide whether to stop, adjust, or expand the pilot.
Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.
