In this brief commentary from ClioCon 2025, the speaker (Lynda Artesani) recounts her live reaction to CEO Jack Newton’s keynote. Initially, she is unimpressed, noting that the early part of the talk focused on renaming product features, which she whispers to a colleague named Sarah as “nothing big.” The tone shifts dramatically when the AI announcements begin; she describes the AI work as “wicked smart” and far beyond the low‑tier AI tricks (file search, email rewriting) common in other legal‑tech tools. She asserts that Clio’s AI is fundamentally different and predicts it will have a major, transformative impact on the legal accounting space.

I think that in the beginning, as I was listening to Jack Newton, who's the CEO, I was listening to him talk. I'm like, you renamed some things. And I was thinking, I was whispering to Sarah, this is it. There's nothing big here until they got to the AI piece. Yeah. Was like, oh wow. Because AI was just, AI is still in its infancy. But what Clio is doing is, as I would say in Boston, wicked smart. I think it's definitely really From all the other software that's out there that's adding AI in there, you're doing it to help you find your files or helping you rewrite your emails or whatever, the low— lowest tiered stuff, this one's doing, and it's going to do big things. It's just starting.
