What is Clio Manage AI?

Clio Manage AI is a legal AI assistant from Clio that is built directly into Clio Manage. It helps law firms turn routine practice-management tasks into completed or review-ready actions, including calendar events, task recommendations, client updates, matter organization, and billing workflows. For small-firm attorneys, it may be useful because it works inside an existing legal practice management system rather than requiring a separate general AI workspace. It is not a standalone legal research product and should still be used with attorney review and professional judgment.

Starting Cost: Contact Vendor. Clio lists Manage AI as an add-on to Clio Manage.

Pros

Core Features

For Artificial Intelligence, the following are essential features, and you should therefore expect to see a check in every box in this section.

Yes
No

Product Security

Most AI products are built in such a way that they are inherently insecure. If this box is checked, the product or application claims to keep data secure and away from the prying eyes of the public. Although users should not put client information into these platforms, typically sensitive company information is safe.

Client Confidentiality

While some products are secure enough for your own data, others go the extra step of making sure no third party (even themselves) have access to any of the data in your AI product. In these cases, the provider claims that your data is secure enough to maintain your client's Attorney/Client privilege.

Marketing Tasks

Can this product be used for basic marketing tasks like blog creation, social media videos, or website images?

Documentation Assistance

Can this product be used to help document how to do something, whether internal or external facing?

Non-legal Research

Is this product helpful with basic, non-legal research?

Legal Research

Although answers from any large language model tool should be double checked by an appropriate expert, some products claim to be trained on legal specific information. In these cases, it may be reasonable to trust them with legal specific questions or research. Keep in mind, however, that your professional rules likely require you to check their work.

Basic Drafting

Will this product assist in basic drafting of non-legal specific documents (e.g. email, invoices, job descriptions)?

Legal Specific Drafting

Can this product be useful in handling legal specific drafting?

Contract Management

Can this product be used to create and manage contracts?

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I use Clio Manage AI?

Clio Manage AI is used inside Clio Manage, which is available through the web and Clio’s iOS, iPadOS, and Android mobile apps.

What is the price of Clio Manage AI?

Clio does not publish a separate price for Manage AI. It is listed as an add-on to Clio Manage, and firms are directed to contact sales for pricing.

Does Clio Manage AI integrate with my Law Practice Management Software?

Yes, only with Clio Manage currently.

Where does Clio Manage AI get its information?

Clio Manage AI works from information inside the firm’s Clio Manage account and the materials the user has permission to access. Clio says the tool only accesses information the user already has permission to see.

Does Clio Manage AI search caselaw?

No, Duo does not search case law. It accesses only what you store in Clio Manage.

What secondary sources does Clio Manage AI have?

Duo does not access secondary sources. It accesses only what you store in Clio Manage.

Is Clio Manage AI reliable?

Yes, it is as reliaible as similar chatbots

Is Clio Manage AI difficult to use?

No, its interface is a chatbot similar to ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot. Clio describes Manage AI as built into Clio Manage and designed for adoption without extensive training. Firms may still need setup, administrator activation, permission review, and internal policies before using it with client or matter data.

What type of practice uses Clio Manage AI?

It works with whatever case types and data you store in Clio Manage.

Does Clio Manage AI have reminders and alerts?

Clio Manage AI can create calendar events, related tasks, reminders, and risk alerts from court documents and matter activity. It should not replace a firm’s normal docketing, calendaring, or deadline-review procedures.

Additional Details about Clio Manage AI

Smarter scheduling and deadlines

Clio Manage AI can extract deadlines from court documents and turn them into calendar events and related tasks. It shows the source document alongside the extracted information so the user can review and confirm accuracy. This may help small firms reduce manual calendar entry and lower the risk of missed dates. Attorneys and staff should still verify all dates against the underlying document and the applicable rules.

Billing and expense workflows

Clio Manage AI can generate draft invoices, match receipts and expenses to matters, and route bills for approval. It can also use billing parameters set in advance so invoices follow firm-defined rules and preferences. For small firms, this may reduce end-of-month billing friction and help capture work more consistently. The tool is best viewed as preparing billing work for review, not as replacing billing oversight.

Client communication and drafting support

Clio Manage AI can draft client updates, letters, and other communications based on matter activity. It can also help summarize lengthy documents into clearer takeaways and keep tone consistent across email, SMS, and the client portal. This may be useful for small firms that need to communicate promptly but have limited staff capacity. Attorney review is important before sending client-facing or legal-specific messages.

Matter organization and proactive recommendations

Clio Manage AI can create tasks, notes, events, and expenses, and can recommend document or file names when setting up new matters. It can also surface priorities, risks, and suggested next steps so attorneys and staff can decide what needs attention. This may be helpful for busy small firms that rely on Clio Manage as the central place for matter activity. The practical value will depend on the quality of the firm’s Clio data, permissions, and workflow setup.

Who Clio Manage AI is for

Manage AI is built into Clio Manage for Clio users. It is requires a per-user, per-month add-on purchase from Clio.

Best fit

  • Small firms already using Clio Manage that want AI inside their practice management workflow.
  • Firms that need help with scheduling, billing, client updates, matter organization, and routine drafting.
  • Attorneys, paralegals, administrators, and billing staff who want AI suggestions but still want review and approval controls.

Not ideal for

  • Firms that do not use Clio Manage or want a standalone AI tool.
  • Firms looking for a dedicated case law research product.
  • Firms that need published pricing before evaluating an AI add-on.
