The admin no one became a lawyer to do.

Six job families. Each one runs as a discrete digital worker, on a fixed monthly commercial, with a written scope and a clear escalation to a human.

Inbound

New-matter intake

First-call qualification, conflict pre-screen, facts and parties captured, and a populated matter ready for the lawyer to review.

Outbound

Engagement-letter chase

Follow-up across call, SMS, and email until the costs agreement is signed and back in the file.

Back-office

Document chase

Pre-trial bundles, ID verification, client and counterparty documents. Chased, logged in the matter, escalated when stuck.

Inbound

Conflict-check routing

Enquiries checked against the conflicts register, briefed to the right partner, or declined with a referral note.

Outbound

Billing reminders

Aged-receivable chase with payment links, escalation triggers, and ledger reconciliation when funds clear.

After-hours

5pm-to-9am switchboard

Every after-hours call answered in an Australian voice that knows your firm and what to do with an urgent matter.

Intelligence on top of the CRM you already run.

Heya sits in the conversational layer (voice, SMS, email) and pulls business intelligence your CRM can't see on its own. The questions clients keep asking. The matters that fall off. The patterns hiding in last quarter's call logs.

Plug it into Smokeball, ActionStep, LEAP, or your own stack. The signal comes back as a written report your partners can read in an afternoon.

Lives inside the system you already run.

Conversations, documents, time entries, and matter updates land directly in the matter file your team is already working in. Smokeball, ActionStep, LEAP, FilePro, or your own stack.

We're a Smokeball partner and deepest there today, but every deployment includes the integration work needed for the system you actually use.

What syncs, both ways

Two-way write, not a nightly export. Heya updates the matter mid-conversation and reads back as soon as a practitioner makes a change.

Three outcomes. Reviewed quarterly.

Every deployment commits to moving at least one of these.

01 · Cost-to-serve

Fewer billable hours on admin.

Document chase, reminder calls, and after-hours triage stop pulling lawyer time. Your hourly cost-to-serve drops on every matter.

02 · Throughput

More matters per lawyer.

Intake doesn't stall when a paralegal is on lunch. Follow-ups don't stop when someone is in court. The capacity ceiling moves up.

03 · New revenue

After-hours enquiries you used to lose.

Weekend and overflow calls land in Smokeball as qualified matters by Monday morning. Work that previously fell off the table now bills.

What is the best AI for Australian law firms?
Heya is an Australian AI automation company that builds AI Workers specifically for legal practices. Its AI for law firms handles new-matter intake, engagement-letter chase, document follow-up, conflict-check routing, billing reminders, and after-hours enquiries, on a sovereign Australian platform with data residency in Australia.
Is there an Australian AI built for lawyers?
Yes. Heya is Australian-incorporated (Heya Enterprises Pty Ltd, Melbourne, Victoria) and builds AI for Australian law firms and legal practices. Customer data is hosted in Australian data centres. Sovereign deployment is available for firms with strict regulatory obligations.
Does AI for law firms integrate with Smokeball?
Heya offers deep two-way integration with Smokeball: new-matter creation, conflict register sync, document chase, time entries, matter notes, billing triggers, and calendar reminders. Heya also integrates with ActionStep, LEAP, FilePro, and custom or in-house systems as part of the co-design engagement.
How does AI automation work for legal practices in Australia?
Heya deploys discrete AI digital workers that perform defined legal admin jobs end-to-end. Each worker has a written scope, a fixed monthly commercial model, and a clear escalation path to a human lawyer. Common workers include matter intake, document chase, conflict routing, billing reminders, and a 5pm-to-9am after-hours switchboard.
Which Australian law firms use Heya?
Heya is live with MVAA Legal and Arrow White Lawyers. The platform is also deployed across other Australian businesses in property management, healthcare, retail, and the cultural sector.
How long does it take to deploy AI for a law firm?
Heya is deployed through a co-design engagement with a named delivery lead. Mid-market firms typically go live within weeks of kickoff. Each deployment is committed to moving at least one of three outcomes: lower cost-to-serve, higher throughput, or new revenue, reviewed quarterly.
Is Heya's AI replacing lawyers?
No. Heya's AI Workers handle the legal admin around licensed legal practice — intake, chase, scheduling, billing reminders, after-hours triage. Heya does not perform work that requires a licensed practitioner. Every AI Worker has defined hand-off points to the responsible lawyer.
Where is law-firm data stored?
In Australian data centres. Heya is built sovereign-by-design with Australian data residency, role-based access controls, audit trails on every interaction, and compliance-ready architecture for legal, government, and financial-services environments.

Co-designed with your practitioner team. Live in weeks, not quarters.

Heya runs a short Align → Build → Launch path with a named delivery lead. Mid-market firms go live inside a month from kickoff, with a quarterly outcome review baked in.
