Clio for Word Beta Brings Legal AI Drafting and Analysis Into Microsoft Word
May 8, 2026
Clio Work subscribers can now expedite and enhance document creation with AI that understands their matters and the law.
Clio, the global leader in legal AI, today launched the beta for Clio for Word, a Microsoft Word add-in that brings AI-powered drafting, analysis, and review from Clio Work directly into the environment where most lawyers work every day
With Clio for Word, users can leverage the world’s largest legal knowledge database, plus your firm’s documents and matter details, to generate first drafts and adapt precedents, all while receiving revision suggestions. Clio Work’s legal AI reads the full content of any open document, including track changes, comments, tables, and footnotes, and proposes revisions. Attorneys can accept or reject suggestions individually, preserving full control over the final document. Every modification flows through Track Changes so nothing is altered without review.
Beyond drafting, Clio for Word enables document analysis through conversation with AI, surfacing legal, structural, and consistency risks across both clean documents and those with existing tracked changes.
Users can ask plain language questions, request broad reviews, and guide analysis with targeted prompts around tone, argument flow, and clause concerns. The tool connects directly to Clio Work, accessing past analysis and research and using it to both shape recommendations and verify reasoning in Microsoft Word. That way, lawyers can validate legal work while reducing the need to toggle between applications.
“Clio for Word amplifies the tool legal professionals use every day by bringing authoritative, citation-backed AI to every document you touch,” said Tucker Cottingham, Senior Director of Product Management at Clio. “Validated by our global document database, Clio for Word helps lawyers produce better documents faster, without switching applications and losing context.”
The Clio for Word beta is available to all Clio Work subscribers, and is slated to launch in general availability later in 2026.
