Rough time entries become clear, client-friendly billing descriptions, and activity tracking catches time you'd otherwise forget.
Month-end billing cleanup takes hours.
You bill mostly flat fees.
AI rewrites rough entries into clear narratives, and activity tracking such as Smokeball's AutoTime records what you worked on so less time gets lost. You bill only time actually spent: Texas Opinion 705 says you can't bill hourly for time AI saved.

0.5 to 1.5 hrs a week: 2 to 6 hours a month cleaning up entries before invoices go out, cut by about half. Spread over the month. Rounded down.
