How Plani works
How it works

A few texts a day. A finished week of billing.

Watch Plani turn plain text messages into categorized time, a Sunday spreadsheet, and entries filed into CPCS eBill.

The short version

i.

Say hello, and you're set up

Text Plani your name and email. No login, no password, no app to download. She knows it's you because you're texting from your phone. The email is where your Sunday billing recap lands.

ii.

Tell her what you worked on

No client roster to build first. Just say "worked on the Rayburn case this morning, motion to suppress." Spelling doesn't matter, she corrects it. If she's missing the time or a first name, she asks.

iii.

She picks the billing category

Mass trial, Mass appellate, or federal categories are all different. Plani asks once per client and remembers. She knows the CPCS rules, rounds to the nearest tenth, bills anything under six minutes as 0.1, and warns you near the 10-hour daily cap. Wrong category? Text back and she changes it.

iv.

Sunday morning, the week arrives

An email with everything you logged, grouped by client, in the exact format CPCS and CJA want, with every receipt photo you texted attached. Need it sooner? Text "send me the billing report" or "what did I work on Tuesday?" any time.

v.

Connect CPCS eBill and she files it

Plani logs in like a bookkeeper you hired, enters your time in the right categories, and stages every entry. You review it and hit submit. She never submits for you and never checks the certification box. She flags required notices, and asks which NAC when a client has more than one.

Start with one text.
