Who is waiting on you
Ask what needs you today and Nova lists it in order: the client who has written three times this week, the letter from the other side that has not been answered, the document that still needs filing.

For family lawyers
Long emails, anxious clients, and the other side. Handled in order.
A family law inbox is heavy reading. Clients write at length and often, the other side's solicitors want answers, and the documents keep coming. Nova reads it all, tells you what needs you first, and has a reply ready for you to check.
Rather we set it up with you? Book a 15 minute set-up call.

Where it helps on a family law file
Long emails, short summaries
A client's four page email becomes a few lines: what they are asking, what has changed, and what they need from you. The full email is one tap away.
Calm replies, in your words
Nova drafts the reply in your register and saves it to your Outlook drafts folder. You read it, soften or sharpen it, and send it yourself.
Attachments read for you
Bank statements, payslips, valuations and scanned letters are read and summarised, so you know what arrived before you open each one.
Notes on each client
Tell Nova once that a client prefers email to calls, or only wants contact after 5pm, and she keeps it with that client, dated and private to you.
Filing and time
On Smokeball, file the email to the matter and record the time in the same place, each step waiting for your confirmation.
Nothing goes out without you
Family law correspondence is sensitive, and a reply in the wrong tone can cost a client's trust or inflame the other side. That is why every reply Nova writes lands in your drafts folder and nowhere else. Filing, time entries and calendar entries are shown to you first and only happen after you confirm, and every confirmed action is logged.
Your correspondence is hosted in Sydney and is never used to train AI models. The detail is on the facts page.
Questions practitioners ask
Can it reply to a client without me seeing it?
No. Replies are saved to your Outlook drafts folder. You read, change and send them yourself.
Does it give family law advice?
No. It prepares work for a qualified practitioner to review. It does not provide legal advice.
Is client information used to train AI?
No. Client correspondence is never used to train AI models. The application and database are hosted in Sydney, and AI text processing by OpenAI in the United States is not retained there.
