Draft clearer billable descriptions
Suggest task and activity codes
Review entries inside Microsoft Teams
Release only approved time toward finance workflows
The Problem
Billable entries need detail, but lawyers are short on time
A strong billable entry explains the work, the matter context, and the purpose. But lawyers often prepare entries after the work happened, when the details are harder to remember.
The result is vague descriptions, inconsistent coding, and avoidable billing review friction.
Billable descriptions are hard to write later
When time is entered late, lawyers lose the context needed for clear narratives.
Codes are inconsistent
Task and activity codes can be applied unevenly across timekeepers and matters.
AI without review is risky
Legal billing still requires lawyer judgment before entries are submitted.
Finance teams need cleaner inputs
Poor descriptions and missing codes slow billing review.
Manual drafting adds friction
Lawyers spend unnecessary time turning activity into billing-ready language.
The Solution
Use AI to support billable entry drafting
MIRA helps lawyers start from captured activity and use AI assistance to prepare clearer billable descriptions and task or activity code suggestions.
The lawyer reviews the final entry before it is saved or released.
Better starting point
Clearer narratives
More consistent code support
Human approval before release
Time Capture
Ground billable entries in real work activity
AI billable entry works best when it is connected to actual work signals. MIRA helps capture activity from connected systems and turn it into reviewable entries.
That means lawyers are not asked to write descriptions from memory alone.
Draft clearer descriptions
MIRA helps prepare billable narratives from captured work activity.
Suggest task and activity codes
AI assistance can support more consistent coding where required.
Review before release
Lawyers edit, approve, exclude, or release entries based on professional judgment.
Microsoft Teams Native
Review AI-assisted billable entries in Microsoft Teams
MIRA supports review inside Microsoft Teams.
Review captured activity
Edit AI-assisted descriptions
Merge related work
Remove unnecessary detail
Release approved entries
This gives lawyers control over final wording, billing relevance, and confidentiality-sensitive details.
AI supports the workflow without replacing professional judgment.
Billing Accuracy
Turn weak entries into clearer narratives
Weak entry:
Reviewed documents.
Better entry:
Reviewed revised purchase agreement and analyzed indemnity and termination provisions for client comments.
MIRA can help generate a clearer starting point, but lawyers should still review the final text for accuracy, matter context, client guidelines, and confidentiality.
Integrations
Fit Assessment
MIRA supports workflows involving Microsoft Teams, Outlook Calendar, OneDrive, iManage Work, Chrome, and connected finance systems.
Captured activity and AI assistance work together to help lawyers prepare stronger entries.
Fit Assessment
Who should use AI billable time entry?
MIRA is a strong fit for firms where descriptions are vague, task codes are inconsistent, lawyers enter time late, or finance teams spend too much time correcting entries.
It is especially useful for firms that want AI support without losing lawyer control.
Differentiation
AI assistance with legal review built in
Generic AI writing tools are not enough for legal timekeeping. Billable entries need captured context, matter awareness, billing discipline, and review controls.
MIRA connects AI assistance to the legal timekeeping workflow and keeps final approval with the lawyer.
How It Works
From captured work to AI-assisted entry
MIRA captures activity signals from connected work systems.
Captured work appears for lawyer review in Microsoft Teams.
AI assistance drafts a billable description and suggests codes where useful.
The lawyer edits, merges, saves, excludes, or releases the entry.
Approved time moves toward the firm’s finance workflow.
Business Impact
Better billable entries with less manual drafting
AI-assisted billable entry helps firms improve description quality, reduce billing review questions, capture work more completely, and reduce administrative burden on lawyers.
It also supports clearer client-facing invoices.
