For legal teams

The associate who never bills you.

For solo attorneys and small firms. BeforeNine reads your inbox, watches your deadlines, summarizes the documents, and drafts the correspondence — for your approval, every time. A paralegal runs $25–35 an hour. This is $7 a day, around the clock.

01Ask

A second pair of eyes on every document.

It reads the actual thread, the actual contract, the actual filing — and answers in plain language. Confidentiality first: your data trains no models, official APIs only, one-tap disconnect.

“Summarize this contract and flag the clauses I should worry about.”
“Draft the engagement letter from my template for the new client.”
“What did opposing counsel actually commit to in this thread?”
02Automate

Deadlines watched. Mornings briefed.

Say the routine once. It runs every day without being asked, and everything outbound waits for your sign-off.

“Brief me at 7am on every active matter: new filings, client emails, deadlines in the next 14 days.”
“When a new client inquiry comes in, alert my phone and draft the intake response.”
“End of day, tell me which client emails are still unanswered.”
03App

The matter tracker you always meant to build.

Describe the tool. BeforeNine writes the software and puts it on your home screen — live data, no developer, no vendor.

“Build me a matter tracker: status, next deadline, last client contact, unbilled hours from my Sheets.”

Questions, answered plainly.

What does BeforeNine do for a solo attorney or small firm?

It runs the back office. Connected to your Gmail and Google Calendar, it gives you a morning brief of filings, calls and deadlines, preps you for each matter by pulling the recent thread, drafts client replies for your approval, and watches for deadlines coming up in the next 10 business days. You can start the same day — no demo.

Does BeforeNine do legal research?

Not the way a research platform does, and it won’t pretend to. It looks up clauses, precedent and current developments using live web search and gives you citations — and it is built to tell you to verify in your primary source rather than quote a statute or case from memory. It is not a Westlaw or Lexis replacement; it handles the work around the research.

What can it automate for a law practice?

A 7am inbox triage that separates client threads from opposing counsel, a deadline early-warning on the next 10 business days, and a Friday per-matter digest of progress and open issues. You set the routine once; it runs every day.

Will it send anything to a client without my approval?

No. Every drafted email and every outbound action waits for your one-tap approval. Approve, edit, or skip — it never sends on its own.

How much does it cost?

Plans start at $99/mo with a free trial — no card to start, no annual contract, cancel anytime.

How does it connect to my accounts?

Through official APIs with your explicit permission (Google sign-in), and you can disconnect any account in one tap.
