How AI fits in Smokeball
AI workflows that speak Smokeball's language.
Below are the actual product modules, features and ecosystem partners Smokeball uses - the AI layer Horizon AI builds slots into these, not around them.
AI agents pre-populate AutoForms precedents from matter data, let Archie AI draft and summarise correspondence inside the matter, and use AutoTime to capture every minute against the right matter so nothing falls off the invoice. Agents push the Daily Digest into fee-earners' inboxes with overdue tasks and upcoming events, and reconcile Settlement Financials with Trust Accounting before a partner approves.
By the numbers. Over 6,000 law firms and 25,000 daily users across Australia, UK and US. Firms using AutoTime bill an extra ~2 hours per day.

How the integration works
AI inside Smokeball, not bolted on top.
Smokeball integrations are scoped through the firm's existing user accounts, with read and write permissions limited to the matters and document folders the workflow needs.
Horizon AI scopes one narrow workflow first, builds it with the access boundaries your team is comfortable with, and hands over an operating runbook so the AI step is reviewable and replaceable.

Common questions
Smokeball AI automation, answered.
Can Horizon AI integrate with Smokeball?
In most cases yes. Smokeball exposes supported integration paths that Horizon AI can build against. The exact integration depth depends on your subscription tier, the user roles available and the data each workflow needs.
Does Horizon AI replace Smokeball?
No. Smokeball stays as your system of record. Horizon AI layers reviewed AI workflows on top so your team spends less time on repetitive admin while the data continues to live inside Smokeball.
Which legal and conveyancing workflow should we automate first?
Start with a process that is repeated weekly, has a clear trigger and a clear output, and can be reviewed by a person before it affects a client, payment or compliance record. The discovery call covers this in detail and maps it to ai automation for law firms and conveyancers patterns we have built before.
