Better first drafts for the lawyer reviewing your work.
Quillio helps Australian paralegals prepare stronger draft material — research, chronologies, document summaries, correspondence — for the supervising lawyer who will review, refine, and sign it off.
Quillio is the AI legal assistant for Australian paralegals and legal support staff. Paralegals cannot provide legal advice — but they can use Quillio to prepare better draft research, stronger chronologies, and cleaner document summaries for the supervising lawyer who reviews and signs off the work. Quillio is designed to sit cleanly inside the paralegal-supervisor workflow, with source citations and audit trail that make supervisor review faster and safer.
What gets in the way
The frustrations we hear from paralegals again and again.
You are not allowed to give advice — but you are asked to support advice work
Paralegals cannot practise law in Australia. But the work that supports a lawyer's advice — research, drafting, chronologies, document review — is a core part of the role, and getting it right makes the supervising lawyer faster and more accurate.
General AI tools do not understand legal workflow
ChatGPT and similar tools can produce confident-sounding text but do not know AU jurisdictions, do not cite authorities, and do not produce output that sits cleanly in a matter file. A paralegal using them creates more rework, not less.
Your supervising lawyer is the quality gate
Everything you produce gets reviewed by a supervising lawyer. Work that is hard to review — sprawling, unstructured, or without citations — eats their time. Better structured first drafts make you more valuable, not less.
Your role is misunderstood by legal tech
Most legal AI tools are sold to lawyers and assume the user is a lawyer. A paralegal using those tools can easily cross a professional boundary by accident. Tools that make the boundary clear are safer for everyone.
Built for how paralegals actually work
Built to support supervising-lawyer review
Quillio output is structured to be reviewable. Source citations, clear sections, and audit trail mean your supervising lawyer can check and refine your draft rather than rebuild it.
Source citations on every research output
Every research answer links to the underlying AU authority. Your supervising lawyer can verify before relying on anything you have prepared.
Trained weekly on AU law
Current legislation and case law across every major practice area, updated weekly — so the research you prepare is based on current authorities.
Clear boundaries between draft and advice
Quillio outputs are framed as draft material for review, not as legal advice. The distinction is kept visible so the professional boundary stays clear.
Document review and chronologies at volume
Two of the highest-value paralegal tasks — bulk document review and chronology building — are exactly what Quillio is best at.
What Quillio does
AU research with citations
Prepare research notes with source citations your supervising lawyer can verify.
Automated chronologies
Build chronologies from briefs of evidence at speed — one of the most valuable paralegal deliverables.
Document review and summaries
Produce structured summaries of contracts, leases, and briefs for your supervising lawyer.
Draft correspondence
First-draft letters and emails in AU legal style — ready for your supervising lawyer to review and send.
Voice-to-text dictation
Turn dictated file notes and attendance notes into structured text for the matter file.
Audit trail for supervision
Every query and output logged — supports the supervision relationship your role depends on.

Agree workflow with your supervising lawyer
Before you use Quillio on a matter, agree with your supervising lawyer which tasks you will use it for, how the output will be labelled as draft, and how they will review it. This protects everyone.
Focus on high-volume, review-heavy tasks
The clearest wins are chronologies, document summaries, and first-draft correspondence — tasks where your supervising lawyer reviews the structure and content before anything goes out.
Per-user pricing. Often firm-funded.
Quillio is priced per user per month — published on our pricing page. Most firms using Quillio provide access to paralegals as part of their standard tooling; if yours does not, you can sign up individually.

Can a paralegal legally use AI for legal work in Australia?
Paralegals cannot provide legal advice — that is reserved to admitted lawyers. But paralegals can use AI tools like Quillio to prepare draft material (research, chronologies, document summaries, correspondence) for a supervising lawyer to review, refine, and sign off. The key is that Quillio output sits in the supervision workflow as draft material, not as advice — and Quillio is designed to reinforce that distinction.
How is this different from a paralegal using ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a general-purpose AI without legal-specific training, source citations, or AU jurisdiction depth. A paralegal using ChatGPT for legal work creates two risks: (1) hallucinated or wrong content ending up in a matter, and (2) the professional boundary between draft support work and unauthorised practice getting blurred. Quillio is purpose-built for legal practice with source citations and a structure that keeps the draft-vs-advice line clear.
Should I tell my supervising lawyer I am using Quillio?
Yes, before you start using it on their matters. Agree with your supervising lawyer which tasks Quillio is appropriate for, how drafts will be labelled, and how they will review output. This protects you, them, and the client — and it builds the supervision relationship your role depends on.
What paralegal tasks is Quillio best for?
Chronologies from briefs of evidence, structured document summaries, first-draft research memos (for lawyer review), first-draft correspondence, and voice-to-text for file notes. These are review-heavy tasks where your supervising lawyer checks the work before it goes out — exactly the right context for AI-assisted drafting.
What about matters where I am producing work for a non-lawyer client contact?
Anything that goes out to a client must be reviewed and sent by an admitted lawyer — that is the same rule whether you are using Quillio or not. Quillio simply produces stronger draft material for that review step.
Does my firm need to approve me using Quillio?
Check your firm's IT and AI policies. Most firms are happy for paralegals to use a vetted legal AI tool like Quillio, but you should confirm before using it on client matters. If your firm is still developing its AI policy, our security documentation pack is a good resource to share with your practice manager.
Try Quillio on your own work.
For a paralegal, the most valuable move is to agree with your supervising lawyer which tasks Quillio is appropriate for — typically chronologies, document summaries, and first-draft research — and then start the free trial. The workflow is straightforward: you prepare the draft with Quillio's help, label it as draft, and your supervising lawyer reviews before anything goes out.
