Clio Work connects your matters with the world's largest global law library to deliver cited legal research, document analysis, and case strategy. Vincent AI is your legal assistant within Clio Work. You can type questions, describe outcomes, or upload documents in plain language, and Vincent responds with research, analysis, or drafted documents grounded in verified legal authority. When you select a matter, Vincent can also read the matter's full context from Clio Manage and take actions in Clio Manage on your behalf, such as updating tasks or creating new matters.
Note: Clio Work is designed to support the substantive practice of law, not replace professional judgment. All research, analysis, and document outputs generated by Vincent AI require final review and due diligence by a qualified legal professional.

Understand the Clio Library
Vincent answers research questions by retrieving and analysing documents from the Clio Library. A database of over one billion primary law sources, dockets, and secondary materials from more than 100 countries, continuously updated and accessible through both Vincent conversations and direct search.
When you submit a research question, Vincent queries the Library and returns cited sources in the Legal Authorities panel. Sources can include:
- Primary law
Constitutions, statutes, regulations, administrative materials, rules, and case law.
- Secondary sources
Journals, books, practice notes, jury verdicts, forms, and corporate filings.
You can also search the Clio Library directly from the left navigation without starting a Vincent conversation. See Search and Browse Clio Library for guidance on searching, filtering, and verifying sources.
Note: Users with Clio Manage can access Clio Work via the product switcher in the top-left corner of Clio Manage. If Clio Work does not appear, confirm with your administrator that a licence has been assigned to your account under Settings > Manage Users.
