Intelligent Workflows

Put AI to Work Inside Your Workflows

Build a competitive advantage by embedding AI directly into your process, bringing intelligent support into the right step at the right time.

Example conveyancing workflow. When the contract pack is received, AI reviews it. If issues are found, AI drafts enquiries for the seller’s solicitor, a task is created to review and send them, and AI drafts a client update email. If all is clear, AI prepares a first draft report on title, the report is sent for client approval, and Smart Time Capture suggests a time entry.

Your AI Toolkit

Purpose-Built AI Tools Ready to Add to Any Workflow

Give your teams a growing library of AI tools for drafting, reviewing, extracting and analysing legal work. Adapt each one to the task at hand, then add it wherever it can help move work forward.

  • Document Population

    Populate in Seconds. Eliminate Repetition.

    Auto-fill precedents, forms and standard documents using information already held on the matter, cutting repetitive data entry and giving your team a consistent first draft to work from.

  • Document Review

    Sharper Insights. Faster Review.

    Review individual documents or entire document sets to surface key information, summarise important points and identify issues for your team to consider.

  • Information Extraction

    Turn Documents Into Usable Data.

    Extract defined information from documents and correspondence directly into matter fields, reducing re-keying and making that information available to the rest of your process.

  • Letter & Correspondence Drafting

    Less Time Drafting. More Time for Legal Work.

    Prepare letters, emails and client updates using the context already surrounding the matter, helping your team get to a relevant first draft faster.

  • Internal Report Drafting

    Turn Matter Information Into Structured Reports.

    Prepare first drafts of internal reports such as risk assessments, search reports and review summaries using the information already held across the matter, helping teams produce consistent internal analysis with less manual preparation.

Build AI around specific tasks, instructions and expected outputs, providing greater control over how it’s used across the firm.

Human in the Loop

AI can analyse, prepare and recommend, but your lawyers remain responsible for reviewing, editing and approving the work.

Our Commitment

Let’s Do Legal AI Right

Craig MalcolmCTO, Matterbee

AI is rapidly becoming part of everyday legal work — but it must be introduced with care, clarity and purpose.

At Matterbee, we’re committed to doing AI the right way. That means designing every feature around the real-world needs, expectations and experiences of legal professionals, while holding ourselves to the highest standards of security, compliance and ethical responsibility.

Our AI aims to support legal teams at every stage of the matter lifecycle: automating the administrative tasks lawyers shouldn’t have to do, and driving consistent, confident compliance. The result is a more productive, more focused and more compliant way to work.

And we’re only getting started.
