Client Status Update Bot

Clients often call because silence feels like inactivity, even when the legal team is moving the case forward. This automation drafts plain-language status updates from the matter record so clients stay informed without attorneys manually writing the same progress email every week.

How It Works

01

Pull recent case activity

The workflow gathers the latest filings, meetings, deadlines, settlement movement, and internal notes from the active matter.

02

Translate into client language

It turns legal activity into a short status summary that explains what happened, what is next, and whether the client needs to do anything.

03

Review and approve if needed

For sensitive matters, the attorney can review the draft before it is sent; lower-risk updates can send automatically.

04

Log the communication

The final email is sent to the client and stored in the communication timeline for the matter.

In Practice

A personal injury client receives a Friday update explaining that medical records were received, the demand package is being finalized next week, and no action is needed from them right now, which prevents another Monday morning status call.
