Convert Documents to Templates with AI in Clio Draft

The AI Template Builder is designed to help you start drafting faster. It is designed to automate the manual process of creating a template document, adding cards and fields, adding conditions, and saving the template, by taking existing legal documents and turning them into automation-ready templates. The AI Template Builder works with:

  • Legal documents uploaded directly to Clio Draft
  • Legal documents saved in Clio Manage
  • Document templates saved in Clio Manage
  • Preloaded templates (standard templates preloaded into new accounts based on practice area)

Convert a document

  1. From your Clio Draft Word Templates Library, click Create templates from documents on the upper right, and then click Select document.
  2. Choose to Select documents and templates from Clio Manage, or Upload documents from your computer.
    • Supported file type: .DOCX only
    • Maximum file size: 5MB per file
    • Maximum number of files: 5
  3. If selecting from Clio Manage, choose documents from Matter documents or Document templates, and then click Add files.
  4. Under Review uploads, confirm your selection. To remove a document, click the trash icon.
  5. Click Convert to templates.

 

View and edit converted templates

You can view the template you created with AI in Clio Draft in your Word Templates library. 

Important: If you want to edit the template, you will need to install the Microsoft Word Template Builder Add-in.

Tip: Templates created using AI in Clio Draft can have one of three statuses: Needs Review, In progress, or Ready.

  1. After converting the documents, click View in Word.
  2. Use the Clio Draft Microsoft Word add-in to edit your Word template. You can learn more about the process in the following series of steps:

    3. Clio Draft: Save and Use Word Templates

Once the template is up to date, its status will automatically update to Ready.
