8am™, the professional business platform purpose-built for the needs of legal, accounting, and client-focused professionals, today unveiled 8am Showcase, the company’s new product release series. The 8am Showcase Fall 2026 release marks the largest expansion of 8am’s AI offerings to date, coupled with new financial solutions, all designed to help firms operate with less administrative friction and strengthen their finances.

“Professionals spend years learning and training in their craft. Often, too little of that training is about running a business, but that’s what small firms demand every day,” said Tanya Hendricks, Chief Product Officer, 8am. “Our Fall 2026 Showcase is shaped directly by customer feedback and built to ease the operational side of running a practice, from the first draft of a document to the last unpaid invoice, so professionals can focus on their clients and growth.”

New AI Solutions Give Back Time

Thirty-nine percent of legal professionals lose four or more hours of billable work each week to administrative tasks, and 41% say those tasks cost their firm at least $5,000 in revenue every month. 8am is introducing new AI capabilities that enable firms to complete administrative work faster, headlined by 8am MyCase MCP and enhancements to 8am IQ, the company’s suite of AI assistants.

  • 8am MyCase MCP – The first official Claude MCP connector built specifically for legal practice management. With 73 actions supported across core areas including cases, clients, documents, billing, and intake, MyCase MCP turns the lengthy administrative time spent navigating tabs, searching for information, and running reports in 8am MyCase into a simple conversation in Claude. Legal professionals can request case summaries, download documents, surface outstanding invoices, explore quarterly caseload, and more, all directly within Claude and aligned with existing MyCase permissions.
  • 8am IQ Firm Agent – Delivers firm-wide business updates in seconds that previously required running and cross-referencing multiple reports by hand. With IQ Firm Agent, legal professionals ask questions and get one answer drawn from every case, invoice, and document. Firm leaders can receive performance and financial updates, while attorneys and paralegals can pull daily morning briefs and get status checks across every matter they are working on.
  • 8am IQ Draft – Produces comprehensive first drafts of documents from a firm’s case details in minutes, directly within MyCase, eliminating hours of manual work. IQ Draft also creates a firm’s templates automatically, from existing documents or from scratch, and auto-populates them with case details, so firms no longer need to build templates from the ground up.

New Financial Solutions Build a Stronger Foundation

Firms with a modernized financial infrastructure are collecting more of what they are owed, and collecting nearly five times faster than those relying on outdated processes. Several solutions from 8am are helping firms improve their financial strength, capture more billable expenses, and reinvest in their businesses, led by 8am Smart Spend Intelligence and 8am Capital.

  • 8am Smart Spend Intelligence – Empowers firms to capture more of the expenses that should be billed back to clients, with less manual work. When categorizing a transaction, Smart Spend now suggests the most likely case based on recent activity, while a new dashboard shows how much spend is linked to cases by month- and year-to-date. This results in fewer unreimbursed expenses and a clearer view of the money Smart Spend is bringing back into the business.
  • 8am Capital – Offers flexible funding directly within 8am LawPay, with eligibility based on a firm’s payment history rather than paperwork or credit alone. The funding, provided by third-party provider Fundbox, arrives in as little as one to two business days and repayment moves with the firm’s revenue rather than following a rigid monthly schedule, with IOLTA-compliant terms for firms managing trust accounts. Through 8am Capital, firms can invest in growth, from hiring and marketing to expanding office space and supporting day-to-day cash flow, all without the complexity of traditional lending.

“8am Capital gave me the funding needed to add another attorney and expand my practice,” said Ken Gallon, Founding Attorney, Ken Gallon & Associates. “Usually with a loan like this through a bank, you’re downloading three or four months of bank statements and filling out forms. It’s a whole process. With 8am Capital, it was already set up. We just answered the questions and got approved. The convenience is awesome.”

Recent Innovations from 8am

8am Showcase builds on several innovations over the past six months, including:

  • Next-Day Payments, making guaranteed next-business-day deposits the standard across 8am LawPay and 8am CPACharge.
  • 8am IQ Discovery Assistant, bringing image-to-text OCR directly into MyCase to automatically convert scanned documents and images into searchable text.
  • 8am IQ Case Assistant, expanding how firms can use 8am’s AI legal assistant, from asking about cases and financials to drafting and sending client messages, with every response linked back to the source.
  • Apple Pay, offering clients a convenient, alternative way to pay using an option they already know and trust, helping reduce friction during checkout.
  • Quick Charge, providing a faster way to collect payment on-the-spot from walk-in and same-day clients without requiring the creation of a contact, case, or invoice.
  • Pay Later, allowing eligible clients to finance professional services through structured monthly payments while firms receive the full invoiced amount upfront, with loan limits now up to $30,000 and 0% APR.
