Partnership to be showcased at the AILA Annual Conference in San Diego, June 17–20, 2026

Austin, Texas – [June 18, 2026] – Candle AI, the inbox intelligence layer for legal professionals, today announced a partnership with 8am’s Docketwise, enabling immigration attorneys and legal staff to access Docketwise client and matter information directly within Outlook and Gmail. 

Docketwise helps immigration law firms streamline client intake, collect information through intelligent questionnaires, prepare immigration forms, and manage immigration matters throughout the filing process. Through the partnership, Docketwise users can access relevant client and matter information directly within their inbox, reducing the need to switch between systems when responding to emails.

For immigration law firms, many client questions arrive by email but require information that was previously collected through intake forms, questionnaires, and case records. Finding those details often means navigating away from the inbox and searching through multiple systems before responding.

By bringing Docketwise information directly into Gmail and Outlook, Candle AI helps immigration legal professionals access the context they need while they communicate. Rather than searching for information across applications, attorneys and legal staff can view relevant client and matter details alongside email conversations and draft more informed responses without leaving their inbox.

Immigration firms using Candle AI are saving up to 1 hour or more per day on email and responding to clients up to 75% faster, helping legal teams focus more of their time on client service and legal work.

“One of the unique strengths of Docketwise is the amount of information firms collect throughout the client intake and forms process,” said Carl Davidson, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Candle AI. “That information is incredibly valuable when responding to client questions, but attorneys and legal staff often have to leave their inbox to find it. By bringing Docketwise information directly into Outlook and Gmail, we’re helping legal professionals access the information they need while staying focused on client communication.”

Sujith Jose, CEO and Co-Founder of Candle AI, added, “Every immigration matter begins with information gathering. Docketwise has built a platform that helps firms collect and organize that information efficiently. Through this partnership, we’re making it easier for legal professionals to put that information to work during everyday client communication, helping them respond faster and with greater confidence.”

In addition to surfacing Docketwise information, Candle AI enables legal professionals to draft context-aware responses and manage email workflows directly from their inbox.

Candle AI will be showcasing the Docketwise integration at the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) Annual Conference in San Diego, June 17–20, where attendees can see how Docketwise information can be surfaced directly inside Gmail and Outlook to support more efficient client communication.

Together, Candle AI and Docketwise help immigration professionals spend less time searching for information and more time serving clients.
