Clio + MIRA: The Missing Piece of AI Timekeeping

As AI becomes increasingly integrated into legal workflows, many Clio firms are asking a reasonable question:

We already have Clio Duo. What additional value would MIRA bring?

Clio Duo is an AI assistant embedded within Clio that helps firms work more efficiently across a variety of workflows, including matter insights, document analysis, drafting assistance, billing support, scheduling, and time-related tasks. It can also assist attorneys with creating time entries from information already stored within Clio

MIRA focuses on a different challenge:

Helping attorneys accurately capture, organize, and account for all of the work they perform throughout the day. 

For firms looking to improve attorney timekeeping, MIRA extends the value of their Clio investment by providing a dedicated AI timekeeping experience.

Different AI Tools Designed for Different Jobs

Clio Duo is an AI assistant embedded throughout the Clio platform, helping firms work more efficiently across a variety of workflows.

MIRA is purpose-built for one objective:

Helping attorneys accurately capture, reconstruct, and submit time.

Rather than relying primarily on documents, emails, or other artifacts already stored in a practice management system, MIRA focuses on understanding the attorney's entire workday.

Legal Work Happens Everywhere

A typical legal task rarely consists of a single email or document.

An attorney preparing for a deposition may:

• Review client emails

• Research case law

• Participate in internal discussions

• Join client meetings

• Review evidence

• Analyze prior filings

• Draft notes

• Collaborate with colleagues

Some may be recorded within Clio, many are not.

Throughout the day, attorneys move between applications, browser tabs, knowledge resources, communications tools, meetings, and work product.’

The challenge isn't writing a time entry.

The challenge is remembering everything that happened.

MIRA helps capture and organize those activities into a complete work history, making it easier to review, reconstruct, and submit time.

How MIRA Fits into an Existing Clio Workflow

One of the most common questions we hear is:

Will MIRA change how our attorneys work in Clio? The answer is no.

MIRA is designed to enhance existing Clio workflows, not replace them.

A typical attorney may spend the day:

• Working in Clio

• Sending emails

• Participating in client meetings

• Performing legal research

• Reviewing documents

• Collaborating with colleagues

• Drafting work product

Throughout the day, MIRA captures and organizes the broader activity surrounding that work.

When it's time to review and submit time, attorneys have visibility into the broader workstream surrounding a matter, instead of seeing only an email, they can see the surrounding research, document review, collaboration, and related activity that occurred as part of the same task.

Once time is reviewed and approved, MIRA seamlessly syncs time entries back to Clio, enabling firms to enhance timekeeping without disrupting existing billing processes.

The result is a more complete picture of the work performed and better support for creating meaningful billing narratives.
