In delivering his keynote at the 2025 ClioCon in Boston last week, CEO Jack Newton described the litany of new products and features he announced as “quite literally the biggest wave of innovation in Clio’s history.”

For those in the audience, it was a lot to take in, as Newton announced new products, new features, and even new markets. Frankly, it left me a bit confused, and I suspect others were too.

Thus, with a handy assist from ChatGPT, I present this table that provides a guide to all Clio’s new products and features.
