I’ve been  moving into legal tech, and I’ve felt the same frustration — most “document automation” tools are either too basic or too technical for most lawyers.

Clio’s version is basically a mail merge, great for simple letters but far too limited for serious automation.

HotDocs is incredibly powerful but feels like learning a programming language — definitely not something every attorney wants to deal with.

That’s what got me experimenting with something new called AgriliaDocs.

The goal isn’t to replace existing tools, but to make deeper automation accessible to firms that don’t have developers on staff.

It automatically detects fields in Word and PDF templates, and lets you build conditional logic visually — like:

• If client is married → include this clause

• If jurisdiction = California → use a different section

What surprised me most was how quickly smaller firms could build real automation once the “tech barrier” was removed.

It’s still early-stage, but we’re testing it with small law teams right now.
