Christchurch-founded legal AI company VXT has launched an AI notetaker for lawyers that, it says, turns conversations into completed legal work, targeting the paperwork that follows calls and meetings and has long drained law firms of time and revenue.
VXT said the software is designed to remove the administrative load (which it called “a longstanding drain on firms’ time and revenue”) that follows client conversations.
Speaking about the launch, VXT chief executive and co-founder Luke Campbell said the notetaker will give lawyers “around 10 minutes back after every call and meeting”.
The problem, Campbell said, is the work that each conversation leaves behind.
“These conversations can create tedious amounts of paperwork … a file note to write, a time entry to log, a follow-up email to send,” he said.
“It’s time-consuming, some of it isn’t done properly, and some of it is missed altogether, all of which leads to burnout and lost revenue.
“VXT does all of this automatically, capturing lawyers’ conversations as they happen and completing the paperwork that follows.”
VXT, the provider went on, takes notes during calls and meetings, so lawyers can focus on their client while still having an accurate record of everything that was said. Afterwards, the software summarises and saves those notes, along with a time entry, to the right case in the firm’s legal software. It also drafts a follow-up email based on the conversation.
It also captures phone calls, in-person meetings and video calls alike, the provider went on, and integrates with other legal software platforms, such as NetDocuments, iManage, Actionstep, LEAP, and Smokeball.
The provider said that more than 16,000 lawyers across 2,300 firms already use VXT, for more than 2 million calls and meetings every month. Among those users is ASCO Legal, where director Alistair van Schalkwyk said that the time-entry function has been a drawcard.
“We love that VXT creates time entries and automatically tracks our billable time,” he said.
“We’re recovering 30 extra minutes per lawyer, daily with VXT.”
Texas Criminal Defense Group is also a user, with director of operations Nichole Leiser saying that the software has had a significant impact on the firm’s efficiency and describing how the firm worked before adopting it.
“Before VXT, so much of our time was spent on manual tasks, trying to log details from call and meeting notes while actively working on a case,” she said.
“Now with VXT, everything lands in the client’s file within seconds, and our legal support staff have doubled productivity because we spend way less time on manual work.”
