Stop Losing Billable Hours to Bad Time Capture
AI reconstructs your day from email, calendar, and document activity — drafts time entries you approve in one tap.
How does Ascero AI handle time tracking for legal businesses?
A time-capture agent watches calendar events, sent email, document edits, and call logs, then drafts proposed time entries grouped by matter at end of day. It is a vertical-tuned AI workflow built into your existing stack — not a generic SaaS bolt-on — and you own the deployment.

Transcript
- Agent
- Good evening, thanks for calling. Are you reaching out about a new matter, or are you an existing client?
- Caller
- New — I was in a car accident last week and I'm not sure what to do.
- Agent
- I'm sorry to hear that. I can take down the details so an attorney can follow up first thing. Was anyone injured, and have you spoken with an insurer yet?
- Caller
- I have some back pain. No, I haven't called anyone yet.
- Agent
- Understood — and I'd hold off on giving a recorded statement until you've spoken with the attorney. Can I get your name, the best number, and the date the accident happened?
- Caller
- Marcus Reed, 781-555-0177, it was last Tuesday.
- Agent
- Thank you, Marcus. I've logged a personal-injury intake and flagged it as time-sensitive. An attorney will call you back in the morning, and you'll get a text confirmation tonight.
- Caller
- That's a relief. Thank you.
We dial a live agent against your real business name on the call — not a slide deck.
The pain
Attorneys lose an estimated 0.5-2.0 billable hours per day to under-capture: forgotten phone calls, untracked email back-and-forth, sub-6-minute drafting bursts that never make it onto a timesheet. At a $400/hr rate, that is an estimated $50K-200K per attorney per year walking out the door.
The system
A time-capture agent watches calendar events, sent email, document edits, and call logs, then drafts proposed time entries grouped by matter at end of day. The attorney reviews, edits, and one-taps approve. Firms typically recover an estimated 15-25% more billable hours within 60 days.
Legal operators who fix time tracking usually tackle related leaks next, like intake every new client without a paralegal, draft first-pass legal documents in minutes, and contract review that catches what the junior missed.
