About

Referent is an AI-native practice management platform for law firms. Instead of being a system of record that waits for you to type, it acts as a system of action — AI agents handle intake, email filing, document drafting, deadline tracking, billing prep, and follow-ups while lawyers approve every critical step.

The platform connects to Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive to automatically file correspondence to the right matter, sync deadlines bidirectionally, and make documents searchable within their related cases. Every AI action is logged and auditable, with explicit lawyer sign-off required before anything client-facing leaves the firm.

Referent offers an MCP server for integration with ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI assistants. Mobile apps for iOS and Android are available. The platform is backed by Google for Startups and the Nvidia Inception Program.

Why we picked it

Referent stood out for the system-of-action framing against the usual system-of-record — agents handling intake and deadline tracking while lawyers approve each critical step is worth naming for a firm whose real drain is admin, not case strategy.
