Smokeball overview
Smokeball is an AI-powered legal practice management platform with its global head office in Sydney. The platform is particularly known for AutoTime, a feature that automatically records billable time from all work activities — including emails, calls, and document edits — without manual input. Smokeball holds Law Society Approved Billing status and provides Australian-based onboarding and support teams.
Key capabilities
AutoTime is Smokeball's signature capability, passively capturing time from every work activity to reduce revenue leakage from unbilled time. The platform's deep integration with Microsoft Word and Outlook means lawyers work within familiar applications. Archie AI provides document drafting assistance and matter insights. Smokeball's settlement financials module is purpose-built for Australian conveyancing and property transactions.
