How it works

The same four steps, whether you open the app or the browser.

Pleadwell doesn't behave differently on iOS and on the web. One account, one sequence, the same drafts either way.

Platform parity

iOS and web, side by side.

The sequence

Four steps, in detail.

Step 1

Record iOS & Web

Start recording at the beginning of the meeting, with the client's knowledge. Pleadwell doesn't join as a bot or a third participant, there's nothing in the meeting except you, your client, and your own device recording.

The recording stays where it's made: local file storage on iOS, IndexedDB in the browser. It never leaves that storage until you delete it yourself.

Step 2

Transcribe On-device

On iOS, Apple's on-device Speech framework transcribes the recording locally, using the device's own processing, not a server. On the web, a Whisper model downloaded to your browser does the same job in-browser.

Either way, this step never involves a network request for the audio itself. If your connection drops mid-meeting, transcription still finishes.

Step 3

Generate US-based AI

Once transcription finishes, the transcript text, not the audio, is sent to a US-based AI provider with a prompt built for legal drafting. It comes back with four drafts: a file note, a follow-up email, an action list, and a billing entry.

This is the only step in the whole sequence where anything leaves Australia, and it's text only. Full detail is on the security page.

Step 4

Review and export You

Every draft opens for you to read and edit before anything happens to it. Nothing is auto-sent, auto-filed, or auto-posted to a ledger.

Once you're happy with it, export to PDF, copy into an email, or bring it into LEAP, Actionstep or Smokeball as a CSV.
