Clio and Perplexity Join Forces on AI Legal Research

Clio partners with Perplexity to embed Vincent's legal research into Computer for Counsel, targeting large law firms.

Clio, a legal AI company, announced on June 24, 2026, a partnership with Perplexity to integrate Vincent by Clio into Computer for Counsel, Perplexity's AI work platform for legal professionals. The integration, set to launch in the coming months, will allow large law firms to run legal research, citator analysis, and authority-backed legal reasoning without leaving their primary work environment. The move addresses a recurring friction point for enterprise legal teams: switching between research tools and drafting platforms during active matters.

This partnership signals a broader shift in how law firms are building their AI workflows. Rather than relying on a single generalist AI platform, firms are increasingly connecting specialized legal intelligence systems to the tools they already use daily.

The Research Gap

Legal work demands precision. Lawyers require research outputs linked to verifiable sources, rather than summaries that cannot be traced back to authoritative texts.
