AI Features to Streamline Law Firm Productivity by Anaqua
In today’s legal landscape, attorneys face rising productivity and profitability challenges. The administrative burden of time tracking, billing, and documentation consumes hours that should be dedicated to value-added client work. As clients increasingly demand greater value at reduced rates, cost pressures build up, forcing law firms to rethink traditional service models and address profitability concerns.
Read this blog to learn how to overcome these challenges with automation and AI-powered capabilities.
Trends and Pressures Facing-Firms in 2025
Big Hand’s 2025 Annual Law Firm Finance Report highlights clients’ desire for more transparency and accurate billing[i].
In that respect, accurately accounting for all your billable time will not only boost revenue but also help provide a clear, detailed recap on invoices, efficiently demonstrating your added value to clients.
In addition, the report reveals that 58% of firms plan to bill and collect more frequently next year[ii]. To meet this objective, being able to issue timely, accurate and detailed invoices is key.
Improving Transparency with Automation and AI in the Legal Practice
So how can law firms be assisted in facing these challenges and reaching this objective?
Getting support from innovative solutions can offer potential relief. Automation and AI-powered software capabilities can help you increase billable hours captured, demonstrate added value, and maximize your efficiency, reach and capacity as a legal professional.
Choosing the right tools requires careful consideration of which tasks to automate. Indeed, it is equally important to preserve the unique human expertise that remains essential to quality legal representation.
How WiseTime AI Features Help Address Law Firm Challenges
By using WiseTime, Anaqua’s AI-driven autonomous timekeeping app, you can speed up time-consuming but necessary administrative tasks. You can also unlock additional revenue with more billable hours captured and enhanced client-centered transparency. WiseTime’s mission is to relieve legal professionals of laborious tasks and give them more time to focus on their clients… and prove it.
WiseTime’s automation capabilities organize and summarize your day’s work, enabling you to submit timesheets that are data-rich, accurate and ready for billing with the click of a button.
So how does it work?
WiseTime creates a private timeline that recaps all the tasks performed while you work – focused and uninterrupted. You can switch between tasks and applications without having to worry about starting and stopping the clock or writing notes about the work you have done. At the end of your day, WiseTime delivers a comprehensive timesheet overview, capturing every moment of your professional activity.
For each case you work on, our latest intelligent feature – the AI-enabled narrative – will summarize the activities you perform in your timesheet. It makes it even faster to turn your work into invoices: your captured activity data is transformed into a data-rich narrative that supports the work you performed.
With one click, you can send a descriptive narrative of your tasks for each time entry to your practice management or billing system. This streamlines the billing process and ensures efficiency and faster invoicing.
Your clients will be impressed with the accuracy, transparency and level of detailed information you can report on.
What Our Clients Say About WiseTime AI-enabled Narratives
Our clients love the AI-enabled narratives! The feedback we’ve received helps us know we’re on the right path. We are committed to delivering new features and enhancements that transform the way our clients work.
Developing and Releasing New Capabilities
To complement the AI-enabled narrative feature, we have released a preferences add-on that timekeepers can leverage to customize their narratives:
- Select a short / standard / long text for time entry descriptions
- Decide whether the text should be written in the present or past tense
- Choose the language used to generate the narrative
- Issue generic advanced instructions for the AI, such as “Use formal language” or “Add ‘Performed by Ms Smith – Your Attorney’ at the beginning of each narrative” for instance
The possibilities are numerous, enabling legal professionals to provide clients with personalized AI-generated documentation of services rendered. This enhancement promotes greater transparency on invoices and improves client communication while eliminating the need to invest additional time in creating the descriptions.
Building on our Established AI Experience with Timekeeping
WiseTime has been using AI and machine learning for many years to assist with case reference detection within timesheets. We began by using a machine learning model to improve the way timeline activities were matched to the correct case or client from a practice management or billing system. You can find out more about our inaugural AI implementation here.
We are excited to continue making improvements to our AI features as well as add novel uses for Large Language Models (LLM) to the core WiseTime software.
While clients have been benefiting from the improvements to case detection and tagging for many years now, AI-enabled narratives and the preferences add-on go a step further.
