The actual product, running right now
This isn't a mockup. It's the AI agent we built for a law firm.
Scroll inside the phone. You're looking at the AI workforce dashboard for a law firm - agents running in the background, hours saved this week, matter intake queued, conflict checks waiting on a sign-off. Same shape as what we'd build for your firm.
What every Horizon legal build ships with
Specialist AI agents - one per workflow (intake, conflicts, correspondence, milestones)
Multi-model routing - the right LLM picked for each task
Lives in your software - LEAP, Smokeball, ActionStep, PEXA, InfoTrack, no new platform
Human-in-the-loop - a lawyer signs every client-facing output
Audit trail - every action logged with model, tokens, latency
Each one is a fixed-price single build. Live inside LEAP, Smokeball, ActionStep or your practice tools in 1-4 weeks.
Matter intake and conflict checks
AI reads the first enquiry email or call note, runs the conflict check against your contacts, drafts the engagement letter and opens the matter in LEAP or Smokeball with the right precedents attached. You approve; the matter is open before lunch.
New matters open same-day. Cuts intake admin ~5 hrs/week.
First-draft routine correspondence
Status updates to clients, requests for instructions, follow-ups on outstanding documents - the AI reads the matter file, drafts the email in your firm's voice and queues it for sign-off. You hit approve. The 4pm inbox stops growing.
Saves ~6 hrs/week across the practice.
Conveyancing milestone tracking
AI watches PEXA, InfoTrack and the matter inbox for milestone events (contract exchanged, cooling off ended, settlement booked) and triggers the right client update, file note and task without anyone keying it in. Nothing falls through.
Cuts settlement-day chase calls by ~70%.
Document chase and missing-info checks
AI agent reads inbound emails and attachments, identifies which client documents are still outstanding (ID, signed costs agreement, supporting docs) and drafts the chase email naming the specific item. You hit approve.
Stops files stalling between handovers.
The cost question
Hold off on the next paralegal hire.
A junior paralegal in Sydney costs $4,500-$6,500 a month, fully loaded. One Horizon AI workflow build runs $5,000-$10,000 once. It does the routine matter admin every week, without the supervision overhead, the training time, or the turnover. Most firms see the build pay for itself inside Q1.
Not the paralegal's job. Just the part of the job that doesn't need legal judgement.
From Sydney legal practices
What it sounds like when this works.
Composite quotes from Sydney legal engagements. Roles and firm sizes are real; client names are withheld by request.
Matter intake was the bottleneck. The AI now drafts the conflict check and engagement letter from the first call. New matters open the same day and we are not hiring a paralegal this year.
PrincipalTwo-partner commercial law practice, Sydney CBD
Settlement-day chase calls have basically stopped. The AI watches PEXA and InfoTrack, drafts the milestone update, I approve, the client knows where they stand. Got my Fridays back inside a month.
PrincipalSolo conveyancer, Inner West Sydney
Document chasing was eating our paralegal's week. Horizon built the missing-info checker into the matter inbox and we redeployed her to actual file work. Throughput is up, churn is down.

How it goes
Three steps from first call to live workflow.
01
15-min audit call
You tell us the workflow you'd rather not be doing. We tell you whether AI is the right fix and roughly what it would cost. If it's not the right fix, we say so. No follow-up sequence.
02
One-page scope + quote
If it's a fit, within 48 hours you get a one-page scope - trigger, AI step, approval gate, output - and a fixed price quote. You approve or you don't. No code is written until you sign.
03
Build, test, live in 1-4 weeks
We build the workflow inside your software, test it against your real data, document the runbook, and train you on the approval gate. Then it runs every time the trigger fires - week after week, without you thinking about it.
Common questions
What Sydney legal practices ask us first.
How long does the build take?
Most workflows ship in 1-4 weeks once we agree the scope. Discovery and scoping run in parallel during week 1; build, test and handover happen in weeks 2-4. You see the workflow running on real matter data before you sign off.
How much does it cost?
Fixed price from $5,000 for a single workflow. Most legal builds land in the $5,000-$10,000 range depending on integration complexity and the number of approval steps. We scope and quote in writing before any code is written - you know the number before you commit.
Does it work with LEAP / Smokeball / ActionStep?
Yes. We work inside the practice management system you already use. LEAP, Smokeball, ActionStep, Affinity, PEXA, InfoTrack, GlobalX, NowInfinity. If your stack isn't here, ask on the call.
Will the AI send client correspondence on its own?
No. Every client-facing output - emails, engagement letters, file notes that go on the record - has a human approval gate. A lawyer signs everything that touches a client. The AI does the drafting; you do the practice.
Is client and matter data safe?
Yes. Every workflow has a defined data path and audit trail. Matter data stays inside your existing systems - we don't store it in our infrastructure. Frontier model providers (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) are used on enterprise-grade plans where your prompts aren't used to train future models.
What happens if I don't think it'll work?
On the 15-min audit we'll either show you a workflow we'd build, or we'll tell you AI isn't the right fix for what you're describing. We don't sell builds that aren't going to earn out. No follow-up sales sequence.

15 minutes with our Director - not a sales rep. Bring the workflow you'd rather not be doing yourself; we will scope what it would cost to automate and what you would save, before the call ends.
