NOT A CHATBOT. NOT A COPILOT.
A week of drafting and research. Before lunch.
Put Clauseo on a matter and brief it the way you would brief a person. It researches, drafts, marks up, checks every quotation word for word against the law reports, and bills to the rupee.
Below, a real run replayed from its record. The matter is invented. The 121 minutes, the refusal and the ₹8,330.60 bill are not.
MINUTE 0 THE PARTNER WRITES THE BRIEF
SENIOR PARTNER
Crane & Poole want out of their South India distribution arrangement. Shore & Associates have been exclusive distributor since 2022; minimum offtake has been missed two quarters running, short by about 40%, and we believe Shore has been quietly carrying a competing label. The client wants a replacement in place before the festive season. Their counsel’s draft amendment is attached. Give me a memorandum on whether we can terminate cleanly, whether Shore can hold us hostage with an injunction, and what recovery on the shortfall looks like — if an authority doesn’t check out, it doesn’t go in. Draft the notice of default, firm but courtly; these two have shared four years of Diwali dinners. Mark up their amendment in tracked changes; their draft, our ink. Memo and notice in our house template. From tomorrow, keep a daily watch on the authorities the memo relies on. File it all under a new matter, Project Balcony.
SENT
That is the whole instruction, abridged. Everything below, Clauseo did on its own.
CLAUSEO STAFFS THE MATTER
It reads all three documents, opens a file and splits the brief into three research lanes, run at the same time.

RUNNINGTHE LAW, PINNED DOWN
Before it writes a word, the lanes pin every passage they will rely on — 133 searches, quote banks built from the judgments themselves, word for word.

IT REFUSES ITS OWN MEMO
The memo reads finished. The gate checks the draft against every figure and finding the research logged and finds seven entries that never made it in.
7 REGISTER ENTRIES MISSING FROM THE DRAFT · FOUR OF THEM:
The memo does not issue.
No one caught this. No one had to. The check is deterministic — refusing its own work is part of the job.
CORRECTED. RE-CHECKED. ON YOUR DESK.
It states the missing findings and promotes again. A second machine reads both documents cold, hunting defects, and every citation is verified word for word against the law reports. Nothing issues without your signature.

LIVEMINUTE 121 RETURNED, BEFORE LUNCH
THE SAME WORK, STAFFED THE OLD WAY
The week’s work, before lunch. Checked before it arrived.
A research memo, a notice of default, a tracked-changes markup and a standing watch. The better part of a lawyer’s week, returned in 121 minutes.
THE BILL
The meter you just watched, settled.
Set it against the associate week it replaced. If it still reads high, you are pricing it against software.
THE DIVISION OF LABOUR
YOU
Brief.
Three asks, tonight, from the car.
CLAUSEO
Works.
Research, drafts, markups, checked against source.
YOU
Sign.
Soundness and the signature stay with your lawyers.
Clauseo proves its quotations are real and exact. Whether the position is sound is a lawyer’s call, and it stays one.
WHAT YOU GIVE IT ACCESS TO
It reads structure, not photographs of paper.
Judgments, paragraph by paragraph.
Quotes anchored to their paragraph, citations marked as support or doubt.
TWO OF THESE RUN FREE, IN PUBLIC. OPEN THEM AND CHECK.
TWO WAYS IN
Put it to work.
Every matter runs in its own sealed workspace, and nothing your firm uploads trains a model. Clauseo produces drafts and research for a lawyer to verify; the signature is always yours.
