Can Claude draft client updates from Clio matters?

Yes. Claude can read recent notes and activity on a matter and draft a plain English update. A lawyer should review it before it is sent.

Does Clio have its own AI?

Clio offers its own AI features inside the product. Connecting Claude is useful when you want to work across Clio alongside email, documents and other systems in one conversation.

Is it safe to connect Clio to Claude?

Yes, when it's set up properly. Helm agrees with you what Claude can see and do, uses the narrowest permissions Clio allows, and keeps everything under your own accounts.

Does this work with ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot?

Often, yes. Most modern connections use MCP, an open standard that ChatGPT and Copilot Studio also support. We'll confirm what's possible for Clio on the call.

Can Claude connect to Clio?

Yes. Clio doesn't have an official Claude connector yet, but Helm connects it for you, securely and with only the access you approve.

How it connects

There's no official Claude connector for Clio yet. Helm connects it using the method that suits your setup, whether that's a secure custom connector we build and host, or an AI agent that works inside Clio with your team's approval. We'll recommend the right one on a 30-minute call.

Looking after your Clio data

Clio holds privileged client and matter information, so Helm limits Claude to the matters each user can already see and keeps trust account details out of reach.

Only the access you approve.
Everything stays in your own accounts.
On Claude's business plans, your data isn't used to train AI models.
