Intapp (NASDAQ: INTA), the governed AI platform for professional firms in highly regulated industries, today announced the availability of Compliance with Celeste and Time with Celeste — its Compliance and Time solutions re-architected with Intapp Celeste and agentic workflows at their core. Available to firms through a new entitlement, these solutions bring the agentic capabilities of Celeste into the client acceptance, risk, and revenue processes law firms and other professional firms run in Intapp Intake, Conflicts, Terms, and Time. They handle the repetitive parts of that work so people can focus their time on work that requires human judgment.
AI is changing the economics of law firms and other professional firms by squeezing them in two directions at once.
On the risk side, growth through M&A, consolidation, and lateral moves makes onboarding new business and managing risk increasingly complex. The volume of forms, searches, and obligation checks required to support that growth can quickly outpace the capacity of expert teams, whose expertise is scarce and takes years to develop. When highly skilled professionals spend too much time on repetitive tasks instead of judgment, firms face a difficult trade-off between moving intake forward quickly and maintaining rigorous risk management.
Revenue is the other side of the equation. As AI helps people work faster, the billable hour — the backbone of most firm revenue — comes under pressure. Clients increasingly expect pricing that reflects those efficiencies, and firms will need room to experiment with new fee structures to deliver it. This experimentation will only work with the right data and insights behind it. Without visibility into how AI-assisted work and other hours add up at the matter level, firms lack the insight needed to make critical decisions about what to scope, what to charge, who to staff, and where to invest in AI.
Compliance with Celeste and Time with Celeste meet both pressures head-on, bringing agentic AI directly into these workflows using each firm’s own data and rules.
How Celeste helps Compliance
Inside Intake, Conflicts, and Terms, Celeste takes on the repetitive parts of intake and risk work so experts can get to the analysis and judgment.
- Faster, cleaner intake. Celeste fills in request forms using information from the emails people already share, then flags missing or incomplete data before anything gets submitted.
- The busywork behind each decision, handled. Celeste builds the search strategy, maps corporate trees, runs the searches, and triages what comes back for expert review.
- Client obligations that don’t slip. Celeste reads outside counsel guidelines, matches them to the right client, pulls out key terms, and files the attributes that matter.
- Answers right where you work. Ask Celeste a question or kick off a playbook from a prompt inside Intake, Conflicts, Terms, or directly in Outlook.
How Celeste helps Time
Inside Time, Celeste captures hours that would otherwise be lost, helps prevent revenue leakage, and gives firms a clearer view of what each matter is actually worth.
- Time entries ready to bill. Celeste drafts complete entries from the work it already sees and fills in the gaps.
- Revenue governance without the manual work. With agentic time entry, Celeste writes each narrative for you and can rewrite the ones you enter yourself. Both stay compliant with outside counsel guidelines and firm style.
- Block-billing, caught early. When an entry breaks the rules, Celeste flags it and helps you either split it or rewrite the narrative.
- Analytics that connect the dots. Celeste pulls together work activity, billing rules, and financial data to show what’s driving realization, matter economics, utilization, and AI tool performance.
These solutions mark Intapp’s shift to an agent-first platform. Intake, Conflicts, Terms, and Time no longer just support human-led work; Celeste now carries that work forward with people stepping in where judgment matters most. Each solution runs on the same foundation of structured data, agentic workflows, systems of record, context, and guardrails, which is what lets Celeste do real work inside regulated processes. Intapp calls this approach Firm AI – agentic AI applied to the business of the firm itself, not just to individual tasks or work products.
Availability
Firms already running their business acceptance, time, and billing with Intapp can upgrade to the new agentic AI offerings. Once the new entitlement is activated, the new capabilities will be available in their existing environments. To see them in action, firms can book a demo or talk to their Intapp account team at intapp.com.

“Intapp is now agent-first. We’ve re-architected our Compliance and Time solutions with Celeste and agentic workflows at their core, so the agents, the data they run on, and the compliance guardrails all come from one place. Pulling that together is the hard part, and it’s the part no one else has done. That’s what makes Compliance with Celeste and Time with Celeste real for firms – the agents do meaningful work inside regulated processes, on each firm’s own data and under its own rules.”
