FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete my existing time entries?

    No. The AI can only create new entries or list existing ones. It cannot delete or modify records already in LEAP Legal.

  • 02

    Does the AI choose the matter for me?

    No. You need to tell the AI which matter the time belongs to so it can target the correct record.

  • 03

    Can I use this to run billing reports?

    No. The AI can list entries, but it does not have the tools to generate or export formal billing reports.

  • 04

    Do I need to keep the LEAP Legal website open?

    No. Once the connection is active, you perform all logging through your AI chat interface.

  • 05

    Can the AI change the description after I log it?

    No. The current tools only allow for creating new entries. You must edit entries directly in LEAP Legal if a mistake is made.
