Overview / Description
Clio Duo is the AI assistant embedded in Clio, the practice-management platform that is the default operating system for a large share of solo and small law firms. Rather than being a standalone product, Duo works on top of the matters, contacts, billing and documents already stored in Clio, surfacing insights, summaries and next-step suggestions in the context of a firm's own data. Because it sits inside a tool firms use daily for case management, intake and billing, the adoption cost is low — there is no separate system to learn or new data set to migrate. For small firms weighing whether to add a dedicated AI tool, Clio Duo is the path of least resistance: it extends an existing subscription with AI features that understand the firm's cases and history.
