Why Australian lawyers consider alternatives
Legal research capabilities
If you need AI that can research AU/NZ case law and legislation — finding authorities and precedents for your arguments — you need capabilities beyond document review.
Australian data sovereignty
If your firm requires all data processed and stored within Australia on Australian-owned infrastructure, you need a platform with explicit AU sovereignty guarantees.
Everyday legal AI
If you need AI tools for daily legal work — research, drafting, file notes — not just large-scale e-Discovery projects, a platform designed for everyday use may be more practical.
Practice management integration
If your workflow runs through Australian practice management systems, you need AI that connects with Smokeball, LEAP, Actionstep, or Clio.

Frequently asked questions
Can Quillio replace DISCO?
They serve different primary purposes. DISCO is for large-scale e-Discovery. Quillio is for daily legal AI — research, document review, drafting, and chronologies. If your practice does not regularly handle large e-Discovery matters, Quillio may cover your needs entirely.
Does Quillio support e-Discovery workflows?
Quillio provides AI document review and analysis suitable for smaller-scale review tasks. For large-volume e-Discovery with predictive coding and complex review workflows, a dedicated e-Discovery platform is more appropriate.

AI legal research for finding authorities, automated chronology creation from uploaded documents, document review and analysis, drafting assistance for submissions, and voice dictation for court notes and observations.
