Contingency, hourly, and hybrid firms gain automatic, privacy-first activity capture that flows directly into Filevine

SAN FRANCISCO, October 22, 2026 – Billables AI, the AI-powered legal timekeeping and operations platform, today announced an integration with Filevine, the system of record for the modern law firm. The integration automatically captures attorney and staff work activity, organizes it by client and matter, and delivers compliant time entries back into Filevine, whether a firm bills by the hour, works on contingency, or uses a hybrid or alternative fee model.

For plaintiff-side firms working on contingency, detailed time tracking is not always part of the daily routine. Yet a reliable record of work matters just as much for them. It supports fee petitions and court-awarded attorney fees, documents effort when a case shifts to hourly or hybrid billing, and shows which case types are truly profitable.

For hourly firms, the challenge is different: billable time leaks away through constant context switching, everyday oversights like forgotten short calls and emails, and entries written days later from memory. Late, incomplete entries also fall short of client billing guidelines, leading to lost revenue, write-downs, and hours of administrative work.

Billables AI closes both gaps by capturing work everywhere attorneys work, across Microsoft, Google, Zoom, and within AI tools like Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT. It turns that activity into organized, matter-ready records without manual timesheets. Firms using Billables AI typically capture 10 to 30% more billable time.

Key capabilities of the integration include:

  • Intelligent activity capture: AI determines which work is billable and automatically assigns it to the right client and matter.
  • Billing-ready sync to Filevine: Entries follow each matter’s billing requirements and flow back into Filevine for streamlined billing.
  • Privacy-first data capture: An industry-leading approach that captures work activity without relying on full-screen monitoring.
  • Automatically compliant time entries: Detailed entries are generated with client and firm guidelines built in, reducing write-downs and rework.
  • Operational intelligence: Firms see time and effort across matters and case types to optimize workflows and inform pricing.

“Firms on Filevine do some of the most demanding work in law, and knowing where that time goes is a real competitive advantage,” said Arvind Sujeeth, CEO and Co-Founder of Billables AI. “Whether a firm bills hourly or works on contingency, Billables AI captures and organizes that work automatically, so teams can document their effort, protect their fees, and make smarter decisions about which cases to take and how to run them. Partnering with Filevine brings that intelligence into the platform firms already rely on every day.”

The Billables AI integration with Filevine is available today to all Filevine customers. Firms can learn more and request a demo at billables.ai/integrations/filevine.
