Draftsheet AI

Draftsheet AI is a groundbreaking time capture tool built exclusively for law firms, designed to eliminate the silent revenue drain of underbilling. Every day, your fee earners do valuable work that never makes it onto a timesheet, whether it is a client call that ran long, a document reviewed between meetings, or an email thread that quietly took forty minutes. By the time a lawyer sits down to log their time, the detail is gone. Industry data reports over 12% underbilling, and at a 20-lawyer firm billing at £250 an hour, that is roughly £660,000 a year lost. Draftsheet AI stops that. A lightweight desktop agent installs on each lawyer's machine with a single click and runs silently in the background, no timers, no interruptions, nothing for the lawyer to do but their job. It simply observes which documents are open, which applications are active, and which matters are in focus throughout the day, all without ever recording any document content or keystrokes. At the end of the day, one click generates a pre-filled timesheet that the lawyer can review and approve in under ten minutes. Draftsheet AI is designed for managing partners who want to see what work was actually done and how much of that was billed, and for fee earners who want to stop wasting time on admin. It is security-first, capturing only active application names, window titles, and timestamps, and never capturing keystrokes, screenshots, or file contents. With direct integrations into leading billing systems like Clio and LEAP, Draftsheet AI turns every work session into billable revenue without changing how your team works.

Silent Passive Time Capture

Draftsheet AI runs completely in the background with zero user interaction required. The desktop agent captures activity every few seconds, tracking which documents are open, which applications are active, and which matters are in focus throughout the day. There are no timers to start, no forms to fill, and no interruptions to the lawyer's workflow. This eliminates the forgetfulness and admin fatigue that causes underbilling, recovering an average of 48 billable minutes per fee earner each day.

AI-Powered Timesheet Generation

With a single click at the end of the day, the AI groups all captured activity into logical work sessions, matches them to the correct clients and matters, assigns appropriate billing codes, and writes professional narratives. The result is a complete, pre-filled timesheet ready for review in under a minute. Each edit a lawyer makes, whether reassigning a client, correcting a billing code, or tweaking a narrative, retrains their personal AI model, so the system gets better and more accurate every day.

Real-Time Revenue Reporting

Managing partners get a live dashboard showing firm-wide billing performance without waiting for month-end. The reporting view displays hours captured, approved, and exported per fee earner, utilisation rates by individual and team, and a clear breakdown of billed versus recorded time to show leakage at a glance. All data updates in real-time as entries are approved, giving practice managers the numbers they need to make informed decisions instantly.

Enterprise-Grade Security and Compliance

Draftsheet AI is built with a strict data policy that never captures keystrokes, typed text, screenshots, screen recordings, file or document contents, email body text, full URLs, query strings, or clipboard contents. The system 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, and the solution is DPA compliant as standard, ensuring complete client confidentiality.

Recovering Lost Billable Hours for Mid-Sized Firms

A 20-lawyer firm billing at £250 per hour is losing roughly £660,000 annually due to underbilling. Draftsheet AI recovers this leakage by capturing every billable minute automatically. Fee earners no longer forget to log time or reconstruct their day from memory. Instead, they review and approve accurate, pre-filled entries in under ten minutes, turning previously lost time into real revenue from week one.

Eliminating Admin Overhead for Solo Practitioners

Solo practitioners often wear every hat in the firm, making time tracking the last priority. Draftsheet AI runs silently in the background while the lawyer focuses on client work. At the end of the day, one click generates a complete timesheet with narratives and billing codes already assigned. This frees up hours of admin time each week, allowing the solo practitioner to focus on billable work and client relationships.

Improving Utilisation Visibility for Practice Managers

Practice managers need real-time data on how their teams are performing, but traditional time tracking provides only what was logged, not what was actually done. Draftsheet AI provides a live utilisation dashboard showing hours captured, approved, and exported per fee earner, as well as billed versus recorded time. This gives managers the insight to identify underperforming areas, redistribute workloads, and maximise firm profitability.

Streamlining Billing for Client and Matter Management

When fee earners work across multiple clients and matters in a single day, tracking time accurately becomes chaotic. Draftsheet AI automatically matches activity to the correct clients and matters using AI, assigning billing codes and writing narratives for each session. Lawyers can merge or split sessions and reassign entries as needed, then push the final timesheet directly to Clio, LEAP, or other billing systems with one click.

How does Draftsheet AI capture my activity without recording my work?

Draftsheet AI uses a lightweight desktop agent that runs silently in the background. It captures only metadata, such as the active application name, window title, browser tab title and domain, and timestamps. It never captures keystrokes, typed text, screenshots, screen recordings, file contents, email body text, full URLs, query strings, or clipboard contents. The system is designed to watch the clock, not your content, and all activity logs are encrypted.

How long does it take for fee earners to get started?

Setup takes a single click per lawyer. The desktop agent installs instantly and begins capturing activity immediately with no configuration required. There are no timers to start, no forms to fill, and no training needed. Fee earners simply work as usual, and at the end of the day, they click Report to see their pre-filled timesheet. The free pilot period allows firms to test the system with zero commitment.

Can Draftsheet AI integrate with my existing billing software?

Yes, Draftsheet AI integrates directly with leading legal billing systems including Clio and LEAP. Once a fee earner reviews and approves their timesheet, entries can be pushed directly to the billing system with one click. The system also supports CSV and PDF export for firms using other billing platforms. Importing existing clients and matters is straightforward, and the AI learns from every edit to improve accuracy over time.

Is my firm's data secure and compliant with regulations?

Absolutely. Draftsheet AI is built with enterprise-grade security and is DPA compliant as standard. The system captures only the minimum data needed for time tracking, active application names, window titles, browser tab titles and domains, calendar event titles and durations, and active or idle timestamps. No sensitive content is ever recorded or stored. All activity logs are encrypted, and the system has been designed specifically for the strict confidentiality requirements of law firms.

Draftsheet AI offers two pricing tiers designed to fit firms of any size. Both plans include a free pilot period with no setup fees and can be cancelled at any time. The Solo plan is ideal for sole practitioners and small firms, including 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 utilisation dashboard, 90-day data retention, and phone support. Both plans operate on a per-seat annual contract, and the system typically pays for itself in the first week by recovering lost billable time.
