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 MyCase IQ?

MyCase IQ can be used inside the MyCase web platform and related MyCase apps. Some IQ features are available only on specific MyCase plan tiers.

What is the price of MyCase IQ?

MyCase IQ starts with the MyCase Pro plan at $100/user/month, billed annually. More advanced IQ features are available on the Advanced plan.

Does MyCase IQ integrate with my Law Practice Management Software?

MyCase IQ is built into MyCase, which is itself a law practice management platform. MyCase also publishes integrations with tools such as Google, Outlook, Zapier, QuickBooks, Microsoft Office, LawToolBox, and Smith.ai.

Where does MyCase IQ get its information?

MyCase says 8am IQ uses OpenAI large language model technology through the OpenAI API. Some tools work with information inside the firm’s MyCase account, including documents, notes, calendar events, tasks, messages, SMS, and call logs.

Does MyCase IQ search caselaw?

MyCase IQ is not a case law research platform. It may help with legal writing, document review, and case-data questions, but attorneys should use a dedicated legal research tool for case law.

What secondary sources does MyCase IQ have?

MyCase does not publish a dedicated secondary-source library for MyCase IQ. The product appears focused on firm data, drafting, summarization, translation, and case-management information rather than treatises, practice guides, or legal encyclopedias.

Is MyCase IQ reliable?

MyCase states that IQ outputs should be reviewed before use or reliance. Attorneys should treat it as a productivity tool and independently verify legal analysis, citations, deadlines, and client-specific conclusions.

Is MyCase IQ difficult to use?

MyCase IQ is designed to work inside the existing MyCase interface, which may make it easier for current MyCase users. Firms new to MyCase may need time to learn both the practice management platform and the AI workflows.

What type of practice uses MyCase IQ?

MyCase IQ is most relevant for small and midsize firms that already use or are considering MyCase for practice management. It may be useful across practice areas where attorneys need help with drafting, summarizing documents, reviewing case information, and managing routine work.

Does MyCase IQ have reminders and alerts?

MyCase includes tasks, calendar events, workflows, and case-management tools, but MyCase IQ itself is not primarily a standalone reminders-and-alerts product. Reminder and alert functionality should be evaluated through the broader MyCase platform.

Additional Details about MyCase IQ

8am IQ Writing Assistant

The 8am IQ Writing Assistant helps lawyers edit, rephrase, translate, and polish text inside MyCase. It is positioned for practical firm communications such as notes, messages, client updates, requests for funds, and legal drafting support. For small firms, this can reduce time spent cleaning up routine communications while keeping the work inside the practice management system. Attorneys should still review all output for accuracy, tone, and legal sufficiency.

8am IQ Document Assistant

The Document Assistant is designed to extract and summarize key information from documents. This can help small-firm attorneys review matter materials more quickly before calls, meetings, drafting sessions, or case planning. It is especially useful where the firm already stores documents in MyCase and wants AI help without moving documents to a separate tool. The feature should be treated as a review aid, not a replacement for attorney review.

8am IQ Case Assistant

The Case Assistant is available on the Advanced tier and lets users ask natural-language questions about case data. MyCase states that it can search text-based documents, notes, calendar events, tasks, case fields, client portal messages, SMS, and call logs. This can help attorneys and staff find case context faster when preparing for client calls, deadlines, or internal updates. Because it depends on the firm’s stored case data and permissions, results may vary based on how complete and organized the matter file is.

Security and Data Controls

MyCase states that MyCase IQ uses OpenAI through the API rather than the consumer version of ChatGPT. MyCase says customer data is not used to train OpenAI models and that data is encrypted in transit and at rest. The vendor also states that users control when selected data is sent to the large language model by clicking the IQ feature. Firms should still use discretion with sensitive information, especially because MyCase notes that certain categories of sensitive data should not be transmitted.
