Laurel

Laurel attacks a problem every time-billing firm knows: the gap between work done and time recorded. Professionals forget to start a timer, reconstruct the day from memory at week's end, and quietly lose billable hours in the process. Laurel's answer is to stop relying on memory at all.

A passive AI agent runs in the background across a professional's devices, capturing the work as it happens (emails, meetings, documents, calls) without anyone starting or stopping anything. Laurel then turns that captured activity into billing-ready time entries, drafting the narrative description and assigning the billing code so the entry is ready to review rather than write from scratch.

The model is firm-specific. Each firm gets its own AI trained on its data, so the narratives and codes match how that firm actually bills, and deployment is a managed process that takes a few weeks rather than a self-serve signup.

Laurel is enterprise software. It is quoted by sales on annual contracts, with no published pricing and no free trial, and it was built first for large law firms before expanding to big accounting and consulting firms.

For accounting work it connects to tools like Outlook, Teams, and Zoom alongside firm billing systems. The fit is narrow but clear: a large firm that bills by time and wants to stop losing hours to manual timesheets. For a small practice or anyone not billing by time, it is the wrong tool.
