Q&A with Ed Kirk, Head of Partnerships at Supio

Bob Ambrogi: Ed, great to have you here. Before we dive into the product, what exactly is Supio?

Ed Kirk: Thanks, Bob. Supio is the leading legal AI platform purpose-built for personal injury firms. At its core is our Document Intelligence engine, which structures medical records, bills, and other unstructured data into a clean network of facts, injuries, and timelines. That powers everything else: identifying injuries, analyzing treatment gaps, flagging missed insights — all with human-level accuracy and AI speed.

We think of Supio not as software, but as a strategic partner. It spans the entire case lifecycle — from intake to verdict — acting like an AI paralegal, nurse consultant, and litigation strategist all rolled into one. One of our firms, Todd Travis in Colorado, recently tripled a $700k offer to a $3M settlement using Supio.

Turning Raw Records into Structured Narratives

Bob Ambrogi: Let's look at the platform. Where do you typically begin?

Ed Kirk: Most firms start with our Medical Chronology tool. It takes raw medical records and translates them into a structured, filterable timeline of events. For example, an attorney preparing to depose a physician can isolate just that provider’s entries. The cards expand into detailed summaries, with links back to the source documents so you can always verify what the AI found.

Bob Ambrogi: That alone sounds like a huge time-saver.

Ed Kirk: It is. We’re eliminating the need to print, sort, and annotate thousands of pages manually. Supio does the heavy lift and gives you a reviewable, exportable output in seconds.

Case Signals

Bob Ambrogi: What comes next in the workflow?

Ed Kirk: That would be Case Signals. It surfaces missing documents, incomplete billing entries, and gaps in treatment — things that might otherwise slip through the cracks. It even flags potentially undiagnosed injuries, like a TBI buried under a broken arm diagnosis.

Our goal is to move cases up the value ladder. One firm flagged what looked like a “C-tier” case, but Supio uncovered a hidden bruising injury — which helped boost the settlement from $20k to $75k.

Chat with the Case: Supio’s AI Assistant

Bob Ambrogi: You also offer chat functionality, right?

Ed Kirk: Yes — and it’s become synonymous with Supio. We were one of the first to introduce an AI Assistant that lets attorneys query their case file like a colleague. You can ask questions, workshop arguments, or resolve contradictions — for instance, checking if a client was wearing a seatbelt or aligning deposition testimony with medical evidence.

Even better, it’s not limited to medical records. Attorneys upload expert reports, deposition transcripts, even prior reports by the same expert. Supio compares them, checks for reused language or inconsistencies, and helps firms prep for depo like never before.

Mastering Medical Bills with Case Economics

Bob Ambrogi: What about damages? How do you handle billing data?

Ed Kirk: That’s where Case Economics comes in. Supio extracts every line item from medical bills — amount billed, adjustments, payments — and compiles a real-time ledger. It calculates medical specials and balances automatically. The law firm can clean up the data as needed, like removing irrelevant items (e.g., a COVID shot).

We also track liens, cross-referencing diagnostic codes to ensure they're linked to the case. All of this gets visualized on a single page, so attorneys can confidently walk into mediation knowing their numbers down to the penny.

Bob Ambrogi: That’s a serious upgrade from back-of-napkin math.

Ed Kirk: Exactly. One North Carolina firm used Supio in a mediation where the defense tried to argue down future care costs. Supio pulled up the report instantly — and showed the defense had overlooked key pages. They settled for the max.

Drafting Suite: From Templates to Interrogatories in Seconds

Bob Ambrogi: Last but not least, walk us through your Drafting Suite.

Ed Kirk: This is where we’re pushing the bleeding edge. Supio helps firms draft documents from expert disclosures to demand letters and interrogatory responses in minutes. The Drafting Suite tailors outputs to each firm’s template and lets users prompt edits inline. Want a tighter summary? Click. Want to add case-specific examples? Just ask.

We even let firms upload raw interrogatory requests. Supio parses each question, generates draft answers, and lets firms tweak responses before sending to clients for review.

Bob Ambrogi: Sounds like you're turning a week-long task into a same-day turnaround.

Ed Kirk: Exactly. It shortens the timeline, strengthens your position, and gives you leverage in court when the defense drags their feet.
