Coming very soon: AI legal assistants
Moving from manual data entry to intelligent automation

Tessaract is evolving. We are moving beyond standard practice management to an agentic future where your software doesn't just store data - it understands your intent. Our new suite of AI Agents is designed to eliminate the friction of administrative tasks, allowing fee earners and finance teams to focus on high-value work.

Stop typing. Start delegating.

These are the first of many specialised AI agents joining the Tessaract ecosystem, designed to streamline the "time-to-cash" lifecycle.

Intelligent time entry
A conversation, not a chore

Our Time Recording Agent uses natural language processing to understand exactly what you’ve achieved.

  • Understand intent: Simply tell the agent what you did. It recognises the context of your work and suggests the appropriate narrative and duration.
  • Guided verification: The agent doesn't just guess. It makes suggestions first and will proactively interrogate the entry to ensure you are recording against the correct Client and Matter.
  • Accuracy by design: By cross-referencing your prompt with existing matter records, the agent ensures your WIP remains clean and your billable hours are never lost.

Financial ingestion
Ledger entries in seconds

Our financial agents for receipts and invoices transform physical and digital documents into structured financial data instantly.

  • Receipt to expense: Upload a photo or file, and the AI identifies the amount, vendor, and tax. It then prompts you to confirm the associated matter for immediate disbursement booking.
  • Automated invoice workflows: For incoming invoices, the AI reads the document, recognises the supplier, and suggests the appropriate ledger entries. It handles the "heavy lifting" of ingestion, leaving you only to approve the final record.

The agentic future
This is only the beginning

These are just our first agents, but our roadmap is clear. We are building a future where specialised AI agents assist across every department - from conflict searches to complex matter summaries.

At Tessaract, we believe in creating longevity for your firm by providing the tools that shared cloud competitors cannot match. We aren't just adding features; we are building a workforce of digital assistants dedicated to your firm's success.


So, what is next with AI at Tessaract?

Every firm is making AI decisions right now, and they aren't all making the same ones. Some want it built-in and ready on day one. Others have already committed to tools like Harvey, Copilot, or Claude For Legal. Most will change their minds at least once as the landscape continues to evolve.

At Tessaract, we’ve built our platform so you don’t have to bet your practice on a single decision. Tessaract provides a governed AI surface, meaning the intelligence layer is your choice. The system of record, the permissions, and the accountability remain ours to guarantee.

Vendors who simply bolt an assistant onto their app give you one AI and one set of guardrails - theirs own. Tessaract gives you the flexibility to use ours, use yours, switch, or mix and match per team.

AI on day one, no lock-in ever.

Our assistant is included and built for legal work, ready for drafting, document search, time capture, and accounting workflows without extra procurement. If you’d rather use your own - or outgrow ours - the same platform serves your agents through an open standard (MCP). No per-seat hostage pricing, no rip-and-replace.

One permission model, every AI

Whether you use our assistant or your own, agents authenticate as the individual user and inherit their exact access. Ethical walls and matter permissions are enforced in the platform, beneath the AI never by trusting a model to behave.

One audit trail, every AI

AI proposes; people approve. Every agent action is logged with the user, the AI client, and the change. Accountability is fit for a regulated practice, aligned with our ISO 27001 certification.

Legal tech insights from the Tessaract team

Measuring matter profitability remains a challenge for law firms

Every pricing decision, hiring decision and growth plan depends on understanding one thing: which matters actually make money. Yet our Mind the Delivery Gap research, produced in partnership with LPM, found that only 18% of firms are completely confident in their ability to assess matter profitability. A further 38% say their view is inconsistent or inaccurate, while 67% of leaders report that users experience frustrations with their core systems.

Can your law firm grow without adding more operational pressure?

Growth is firmly on the agenda for mid-size UK law firms. According to Mind the Delivery Gap, our research completed in partnership with LPM. 44% expect moderate organic growth, 33% are pursuing geographic growth and 20% anticipate growth through mergers and acquisitions.

Does legal practice management software need accounting?

When law firms replace their legal practice management software, accounting is increasingly becoming part of the same conversation. Our recent discussions with law firm buyers show firms looking for systems that combine practice management, legal accounting, billing and client money management, rather than treating finance as a completely separate technology decision.

Mid-size law firms flock to the cloud: Why cloud native software is now your best bet

The legal sector is entering a new phase of digital transformation. What was once considered a gradual shift toward cloud technology has now become a clear industry movement.

Building with reflections

What is legal practice management software and what should it actually do?

Choosing legal practice management software is one of the most important technology decisions a law firm can make. Yet many firms still evaluate systems based on feature lists alone.

Is technology becoming a deciding factor for potential employees?

Recruiting and retaining talent remains a persistent challenge for mid-size law firms. They are competing with larger firms that can often offer higher salaries, structured career progression, and more established remote working options.

What processes are mid-market law firms automating and where should you start?

One of the greatest benefits of modernising your practice management software is the ability to automate more processes across your firm. Automation helps streamline operations, eliminate workarounds, and reduce manual tasks that otherwise occupy fee earners and support staff’s precious and often, expensive time.

Building the perfect tech ecosystem: Why a best-of-breed stack often beats the all-in-one myth

It’s easy to understand the appeal of the one ring to rule them all software: one partner, one login, one support contact, one magic piece of kit that delivers everything you ever wanted…

The hidden cost of workarounds. How legacy legal practice management systems are quietly holding your law firm back

A workaround is a temporary fix to a process that's been used by permanent staff for years. It’s when three systems, two spreadsheets and a very patient person do the job of one piece of software.

Beyond features: How to choose legal practice management software that delivers real outcomes

When it’s time to choose a new Practice Management System (PMS), it’s tempting to start with a checklist of features. Every demo looks impressive, every vendor promises the world — and before long, you’re comparing dashboards instead of results.
