Note-Taking & AI Dictation

Smartnote

AI meeting capture, file notes, and workflow automation for Australian lawyers

4.2

Smartnote is an Australian-built AI tool for lawyers that automatically captures meetings — whether by phone, video, or in-person — and generates structured, accurate file notes without the lawyer needing to type during the conversation. Built by Melbourne-based practitioners who experienced the burden of incomplete notes and late-night admin, Smartnote is designed for small to mid-size firms that want consistent, high-quality file notes across every matter. Beyond note capture, the platform automatically generates tasks, deadlines, and follow-up actions from each meeting, drafts letters and client updates, and automates time entry with detailed narrations. It works alongside existing practice management systems without requiring firms to change their core workflows.
