Clio Brings Agentic Capabilities to Vincent, Enabling End-to-End Legal Execution for Large Law Firms

Vincent now enables more autonomous, outcome-driven legal workflows through a smarter, more collaborative AI experience

Multi-step legal work, executed end-to-end, grounded in a 1-billion-document legal library

Clio, the global leader in legal AI,  has launched agentic capabilities in Vincent, its AI platform for large law firms and legal teams. The update enables Vincent to execute complex, multi-step legal tasks from a single instruction, eliminating the back-and-forth prompting and lengthy contextual guidance that AI tools have come to require.

This update marks a shift in how legal professionals interact with AI. Rather than guiding Vincent step by step, users can now describe the outcome they are trying to achieve, and Vincent works toward that result independently. The result is a more intuitive and efficient way to manage legal work at scale, while maintaining control and visibility throughout.

“Legal AI is moving beyond task execution toward handling entire workflows, and Vincent reflects that shift,” said Daniel Hoadley, Senior Director of Product Management at Clio. “For large law firms, this reduces the need to orchestrate tools and allows teams to stay focused on high-value legal work. This is a meaningful step forward, and we will continue to build on these capabilities to expand what legal teams can accomplish.”

With these new agentic capabilities, Vincent can interpret a user’s goal, determine the steps required to achieve it, and execute across them in a single, continuous flow. Legal professionals can delegate work such as drafting, analysis, or strategy development through natural, outcome-based prompts, while maintaining visibility and control throughout. Users can track progress in real time, step in to refine direction, or redirect as needed to keep work aligned with their intent. For Vincent customers, existing workflows remain unchanged unless teams choose to adopt this more autonomous way of working.

This shift reflects how legal professionals already operate. Today, approximately 84% of AI queries are submitted as freeform, goal-based requests rather than structured commands. Vincent is built to meet that behavior, allowing teams to engage with AI in a way that mirrors how legal work is actually described and delivered.

Underpinning this is a growing network of legal-specific skills that Vincent can draw on autonomously depending on the task at hand. These skills build on Vincent’s existing workflows, grounded in legal expertise and contextual understanding, but remove the need for users to initiate each step. Vincent evaluates what the task requires, selects the right combination of skills, and carries work through to completion, creating a more cohesive and efficient experience.

“Everything we’re building is grounded in how our customers actually work and where they need to go next,” notes Hoadley, “as expectations shift toward more outcome-driven AI, we’re focused on delivering systems that can keep pace with that demand while continuing to raise the standard for quality, trust, and performance.”

For large law firms, this supports consistency, scalability, and alignment across complex legal operations, without compromising the rigor required in high-stakes environments. Innovation and knowledge management teams can expect continuity in the quality of work, with the added benefit of reduced manual coordination. Existing workflows remain in place, allowing firms to adopt this approach at their own pace.
