For anything announced more recently, check "How to Stay Informed" below. {% endhint %} ### Why This is Important Vincent is engineered for lawyers, and that engineering never stops. New workflows, model upgrades, and integrations ship continuously, often without a firm-wide memo to announce them. Reviewing this log regularly ensures your team isn't manually working around a limitation that a recent release already solved, and helps you plan training and rollout for the capabilities that matter most to your practice. ### Our Update Cadence Vincent receives updates at the speed of AI. Our product and engineering teams work in a continuous development cycle, which means updates and new features land every month. We are also continuously evaluating and implementing the latest-generation models from leading providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, so Vincent's responses stay clear, precise, and analytical. Learn more in [Understanding the AI Models Used by Vincent](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/security-privacy-and-compliance/understanding-the-ai-models-used-by-vincent). There's also a recurring 'Release Report' published roughly monthly on the Enterprise blog, a great secondary source for screenshots and deeper detail on anything below. [See all Release Reports](https://www.clio.com/enterprise/blog/) ### August 2026 **Vincent** **Conversation Statuses** August 18, 2026 Every conversation in your history now carries a status indicator, in Vincent so you can see what is still running and what is ready for you without opening anything. Five statuses are available: **In progress**, **Completed & Unread**, **Completed & Read**, **Action Required**, and **Error encountered**. [Understanding Conversation Statuses](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/getting-started-with-vincent/accessing-vincent-and-navigating-the-interface#understanding-conversation-statuses) ### July 2026 **Skills** #### Skills in Vincent (Standalone) Reusable instructions that tell Vincent how your firm handles a given task, applied automatically in every relevant conversation going forward. Skills use three roles, Publisher, Builder, and User, to control who creates, edits, and publishes them firm-wide, and you can install ready-made skills from the Skills Library or build a custom one by writing it directly or letting Vincent guide you through setup with questions. [What are Skills in Vincent?](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/skills) **Vincent** #### Persistent Memory Vincent now retains your preferences and prior work across sessions, following your account's data retention policy. Memory works on two layers: **User memory** (your standing drafting style, tone, and formatting preferences, which apply across every matter) and **Conversation memory** (decisions and confirmed facts from your current session, which get carried forward into your user memory). Retention is rolling and applied per-memory, based on when each one was created — check with your firm administrator to confirm your account's retention period. [Understand Persistent Memory in Vincent](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/getting-started-with-vincent/understand-persistent-memory-in-vincent#how-vincents-memory-works) ### May 2026 **Word Add-In** #### Clio for Word (Beta) May 8, 2026 Vincent is now embedded directly in Microsoft Word. It reads the active document in full, including comments and existing redlines, and proposes edits using native Word Track Changes, so you can surface risks or draft from a blank page without leaving Word. [Clio for Word is now available in beta](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/getting-started-with-vincent/get-started-with-vincent-in-microsoft-word#what-vincent-can-do-in-word) **Web Search** #### Web Search Vincent can now retrieve materials from the open web, law firm briefings, academic publications, regulatory commentary, news, and corporate filings, when your research needs to go beyond the Library. Vincent always checks vLex's authoritative sources first, and any web-sourced material is labeled separately in the Cited Sources Tray so you always know where an answer came from. Toggle it on or off per conversation, and firm admins can control it at the firm level. [Web Search with Vincent AI](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/getting-started-with-vincent/searching-the-web-with-vincent-how-to-find-supporting-legal-materials-online#enabling-web-search) **Vincent** #### Full-Length Translation Vincent can now translate complete documents rather than short excerpts, as part of the same May update wave. [Translate Documents into Any Language Using Vincent](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/core-workflows/translate-documents-into-any-language-using-vincent#summary) ### April 2026 **Agentic AI** #### Agentic Mode for End-to-End Workflows Apr 2, 2026 Rather than guiding Vincent step by step, you can now describe the outcome you want, like "build a defense strategy for this case", and Vincent plans, researches, and executes the full workflow in a single pass, grounded in the 1-billion-document legal library. [Use Agentic Mode to Complete Complex Legal Workflows in Vincent](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/getting-started-with-vincent/use-agentic-mode-to-complete-complex-legal-workflows-in-vincent) **Mobile** #### Vincent on Mobile Apr 2, 2026 The standalone Vincent by Clio mobile app (iOS and Android) brings document capture via camera and voice dictation to your phone, so you can work from the courtroom, between meetings, or while traveling. [Using the Vincent Mobile App](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/using-the-vincent-mobile-app) **Model Updates** #### GPT-5.5 in Vincent Apr 24, 2026 Every Vincent customer was upgraded to GPT-5.5 for agentic mode and document drafting, alongside OpenAI's launch of the model. [Understanding the AI Models Used by Vincent](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/security-privacy-and-compliance/understanding-the-ai-models-used-by-vincent) **Vincent Studio** #### Studio User Groups Publishers can now create named groups, by practice area, office, or matter team, via CSV upload or a pasted list of email addresses, then share a Studio workflow with one or more groups in a single step, instead of adding users one at a time or opening a workflow to the entire organization. Available to all publishers by default. [Vincent Studio Home](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex-1/vincent-studio/creating-and-managing-ai-workflows-in-vincent-studio/managing-workflow-access-with-user-groups-in-vincent-studio#creating-a-user-group) **Core Workflows** #### Explore SEC Corporate Filings with Vincent Apr 27, 2026 A fully agentic workflow lets you query more than 30 years of SEC corporate disclosures and filed exhibits in natural language: locate a specific filing, extract information, summarize a company, or draft a document using precedent language from exhibits. At launch, the workflow covers annual reports (10-K), current reports (8-K), and exhibits, and any draft or note Vincent produces opens automatically in Legal Pad. [Explore SEC Corporate Filings with Vincent](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/core-workflows/explore-sec-corporate-filings-with-vincent) {% hint style="warning" %} **Regional availability, US only.** At launch, this workflow is available only to customers in the United States. {% endhint %} **Core Workflows** #### Authority Match A citation safeguard for Vincent's document-analysis workflows: citations mentioned in a response are checked against the vLex Library, and each one is flagged **Matched** or **No Match** so you can verify a citation without leaving the response. **Voice** #### Voice Mode on Desktop The hands-free dictation introduced on the mobile app is now available on desktop too, so you can dictate prompts at your workstation. **Performance** #### Performance, Governance & Security A bundle of behind-the-scenes upgrades: Collections now run on Turbopuffer (a faster vector search engine) with AI-powered similarity search; the Vincent Tables engine got faster on large, multi-document analyses; files can now be uploaded via drag-and-drop anywhere Vincent accepts uploads; and admins get a warning before a collection is shared organization-wide, plus visible collection-ownership and external-link verification safeguards. ### March 2026 **Vincent** #### New Vincent and vLex Library UI Mar 9, 2026 Launched Monday, March 9, 2026 at 9:00 AM UK time for all users. A refreshed interface across both Vincent and the vLex Library. **Integrations** #### Document Management System (DMS) Integrations Mar 9, 2026 Pull files directly into Vincent from your firm's existing folder structure in iManage, NetDocuments, SharePoint, or Google Drive, so sensitive documents stay in your secure environment and never touch local hardware. [Connecting Your Document Management System (DMS) to Vincent](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/support-and-account-administration/connecting-your-document-management-system-dms-to-vincent) **Drafting** #### Legal Pad Mar 9, 2026 A lightweight, side-by-side editing space inside the Vincent interface for outlining and drafting documents without switching tools, with export to Word or PDF once your draft is ready. [Drafting and Editing Documents with Legal Pad](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/core-workflows/drafting-and-editing-documents-with-legal-pad) ### January 2026 **Vincent Studio** #### Official Launch of Vincent Studio Jan 12, 2026 Vincent Studio moved out of beta and became generally available to Enterprise customers: a no-code maker space where large firms and legal departments build, test, and deploy their own AI workflows using vLex data and Vincent's architecture, tailored to their firm's expertise. Studio is built on a three-tier structure, Workflows (what gets done), Tasks (how it gets done), and Steps (the logic behind it), that lets firms design and govern their own automated processes. [Vincent Studio Home](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex-1/vincent-studio) ### November 2025 **Core Workflows** #### Case-Specific Analysis Nov, 2025 Deep-dive analysis on individual cases sourced from Docket Alarm. Give Vincent a specific citation and it retrieves the full judgment text to extract accurate summaries, key motions, outcomes, and referenced authorities for that single matter. [Analyzing Individual Cases with Case-Specific Analysis](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/core-workflows/analyzing-individual-cases-with-case-specific-analysis) ### October 2025 **Core Workflows** #### Draft a Contract Workflow Oct, 2025 Vincent can now assist with transactional drafting, guiding you through the creation of contracts based on validated models and your specific instructions to help ensure structural integrity and clause precision. [Using the Draft a Contract Workflow](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/core-workflows/using-the-draft-a-contract-workflow) ### Spring 2025 **Agentic AI** #### New Agentic Workflow Engine The first version of Vincent's agentic framework, allowing Vincent to reason about complex, multi-step legal tasks and select the right tools automatically instead of relying on single prompts. [Use Agentic Mode to Complete Complex Legal Workflows in Vincent](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/getting-started-with-vincent/use-agentic-mode-to-complete-complex-legal-workflows-in-vincent#enabling-agentic-mode) **Core Workflows** #### Vincent Tables Extract key data points, compare critical clauses, and spot inconsistencies across large document collections using dynamic, AI-generated tables, ideal for due diligence and bulk document review. [Document Review with Vincent Tables](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/core-workflows/document-review-with-vincent-tables) **Vincent** #### General Assist A versatile, conversational mode for non-legal, business-oriented tasks like drafting emails, summarizing meeting notes, or brainstorming, all within Vincent's secure environment, with no data leakage to consumer AI models. **Model Updates** #### Model Upgrades Across-the-board upgrades to the latest-generation models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, improving the depth and clarity of Vincent's research and analysis while maintaining zero data retention. [Understanding the AI Models Used by Vincent](https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/security-privacy-and-compliance/understanding-the-ai-models-used-by-vincent) ### February 2025 - Winter '25 Release **Core Workflows** #### Multimodal AI for Audio & Video Vincent gained the ability to analyze audio and video files, generating transcripts and analysis for recorded court proceedings, depositions, and client interviews.
