What an AI billing agent can do
- Bill a client when a matter closes — tell the agent the matter, hours, and rate; it builds the invoice in QuickBooks with itemized time entries, emails it with a payment link, and tracks it through to payment
- Chase retainer replenishments automatically — the agent monitors retainer balances and sends escalating reminders when they drop below threshold, so no work starts on an empty trust account
- Run monthly trust account reconciliation — the agent cross-references IOLTA deposits against open matters, flags discrepancies, and delivers a summary you can hand to your bookkeeper
