Intake
Reads the new matter’s documents, runs your conflicts process, opens the matter and files everything where your team expects it.
Stops for conflicts that need a partner’s call
Agents that work
the way you do.
With Briefpoint Firmware, our team comes to your office, learns how your firm practices and builds a fleet of agents that runs that work on its own, stopping for attorney approval wherever you choose.

Illustrative. Firm, matters and numbers are examples.
Not another tool
to learn.
Most legal software waits for someone to run it. Firmware agents run the work themselves, the way your team already does it, and your attorneys approve what goes out.
| Topic | Software you adapt to | Briefpoint Firmware |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Your team configures it and changes how they work to fit | Our team learns your workflows on site and builds around them |
| Who does the work | Your people run every step, one click at a time | Agents run the steps, and attorneys approve at the points you set |
| Your standards | Generic templates your team edits every time | Built from your own work product, playbooks and judgment calls |
| When your practice changes | Retrain the team and hope it sticks | We update the agents |
| Knowing it worked | Adoption you estimate | Hours measured before the build and reported every month after |

A fleet built for
your practice.
Each agent takes one workflow your team runs the same way every time, and stops where an attorney needs to decide. These are examples. Your fleet is built from your own workflows.
Discovery
Drafts responses and requests when a set arrives, with your playbook’s objections and positions, in your court’s format.
Stops for attorney approval before anything is served
Client follow-up
Sends clients the questions only they can answer through Client Bridge, follows up until they do and brings the answers into the draft.
Stops for answers that change the case
Records
Requests and organizes records as they arrive and keeps chronologies current, with every entry cited to its page.
Stops for gaps in treatment or missing records
Deadlines
Reads proofs of service and orders, calculates the dates under your court’s rules and puts them on the right calendars.
Stops for dates that need a second look
Production
Converts and Bates-stamps documents, builds the production and keeps privileged documents out for review.
Stops for privilege calls and final sign-off
From kickoff
to go-live.
About 12 weeks for a typical engagement. Our litigators and legal engineers do the work, and a larger scope adds time to the learning and build phases.
- Week 1
On-site kickoff
Our team spends two days at your office. Together we agree on the workflows in scope, the deliverables, who approves what and how we’ll measure the hours saved. Your IT and security teams review our access plan.
- Weeks 1 to 3
Learn
We sit with the attorneys, paralegals and staff who do the work, collect your templates, playbooks and past work product, and map each workflow step by step, judgment calls included.
- Weeks 4 to 7
Build
We build an agent for each workflow from that map, connect it to the systems you choose with only the access it needs and set the approval points you chose.
- Weeks 8 to 11
Test and refine
Agents work alongside your team on live matters, and your attorneys compare every output with their own. We refine until the work meets your standard.
- Week 12
Go live
Agents take over the workflows one practice group at a time. We stay on to update them as your practice changes.
What you get
- A written map of every workflow in scope
- An agent fleet running those workflows
- Approval rules your attorneys set
- Security documentation for your review
- Training for the people who work with the agents
- A monthly report of hours returned
Built to pass your
security review.
Agents that work inside your firm get the same scrutiny as a new hire with access to every matter. We plan for that from the first day on site.
- SOC 2 Type II and HIPAABriefpoint is SOC 2 Type II audited and HIPAA compliant, and Firmware runs on the same foundation.
- Zero-retention AIThe AI models run with zero data retention, so your clients’ information isn’t stored by the model providers.
- Only the access each agent needsEach agent can reach only the systems and matters its workflow requires, and your IT team approves the access plan.
- Audit logging when you want itIf you need a record of what each agent read, wrote and sent, we build audit logging into your fleet.
- Attorneys approve what leaves the firmNothing is filed, served or sent outside the firm without an attorney’s approval.
- Under NDA from the startOur team works under an NDA for the whole engagement.
Every hour returned
gets counted.
Before we build, we measure how long each workflow takes your team today. After go-live, you get a monthly report of the hours each agent returned, by workflow and practice group.
On written discovery alone, a 40-request set that took a mid-sized California firm 30 to 40 hours now takes minutes on Briefpoint.
“The return is 100x greater than the software cost.”
Questions about Firmware.
Anything else, ask us on a consultation.
What kind of work can the agents do?
Work your team does the same way each time: intake, written discovery, client follow-up, records, deadlines, production, correspondence and more. We map your workflows on site and build an agent for each one that’s a fit.
Do the agents act without attorney review?
They run each workflow on their own and stop for an attorney at the points you set. Nothing is filed, served or sent outside the firm without an attorney’s approval.
How long does it take?
About 12 weeks from the on-site kickoff to go-live for a typical engagement: three weeks learning, four building and four testing alongside your team. A larger scope adds time.
What do you need from our team?
Two days for the kickoff, time with the people who do the work during the learning weeks, your templates and past work product, an IT contact for system access and attorneys to review outputs during testing.
Which systems do the agents work in?
Whichever ones you choose. We build the agents around your firm’s systems and connect them to whatever you want them to use, with only the access each one needs.
How is our data protected?
Briefpoint is SOC 2 Type II audited and HIPAA compliant, and its AI runs with zero data retention. Each agent gets only the access it needs, audit logging is available if you want a full record, and our team works under an NDA.
How is it priced?
Each engagement is scoped with your firm, and the first conversation is free. If Briefpoint’s standard product already covers what you need, we’ll tell you.

fleet would do.
