Client Status Update Generator

Paste your rough case notes. Get a client-ready status update email with careful hedging, plain language, and no invented facts.

This tool drafts a status update based on your notes. Review every sentence before sending. The tool does not know your jurisdiction's rules of professional conduct, your client's specific expectations or fee agreement, or any facts you did not include. You are responsible for every communication you send.

The draft comes back using whatever placeholders you feed it. Use [CLIENT], [MATTER], [OPPOSING COUNSEL] in your notes and caption — then find-and-replace in your email client before sending, not here.

Used to anchor the subject line and reference in the email.

Bullet points, sentence fragments, dictation transcripts — whatever you have.

E.g. "do not mention settlement" or "client asked about timeline specifically."

PDF, Word, text. Up to 3 files, 10 MB each.

Output will appear here once the tool runs.

Questions people ask first

What does the Status Update Generator produce?

A client-ready status update email built from your rough case notes. Plain language, careful hedging (no “we will win” promises), and no invented facts — if your notes don't say it, the update doesn't say it.

Will it use language that creates fee or outcome promises?

No. The output is calibrated to avoid outcome guarantees, fee modifications, and anything that could be read as an opinion on the merits beyond what's appropriate for a status update. You should still read the output — calibration is not a substitute for your own review of every message you send to a client.

What's the right level of detail for my notes?

Enough so the update is specific. “Filed motion last Tuesday, hearing set for the 28th, opposing counsel signalled they may seek extension” gives you a real status update. “Working on the case” doesn't.

Should I paste real client names from my notes?

Use the Redactor first. Replace names with placeholders, run the tool, then substitute the real names back in when you paste the output into your email client. The status logic doesn't depend on the identities.

Can I use the same draft for multiple clients?

It's tempting and it's a mistake. Status updates that read as obviously templated cost trust. Run the tool per client with each client's actual notes. The tool is fast enough that doing it per client isn't a meaningful time cost.
