Supio Launches Case Communications, a New Intelligence Layer that Connects Conversations to Case Work for Accelerated Case Development

Published

on

New communications layer enables Supio Agent to autonomously capture information, take action via a variety of outbound channels, and reduce operational drag to move cases forward proactively and comprehensively

Introducing Agent Simon, a licensable collaboration built on Simon Law Group’s institutional knowledge, demonstrating how firms can capture and extend their institutional knowledge through AI

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today at Law-Di-Gras, Supio announced Case Communications, a unified communications stack for Supio Agent, extending agentic capabilities beyond the walls of the firm to communicate with clients, insurance carriers, medical providers, and other parties involved in a case. Built on Supio’s FirmOS, Case Communications connects calls, texts, emails and faxes directly to case context, enabling Supio Agent to not only understand what happened but autonomously take the next step, whether that means calling an insurance carrier, chasing a medical provider or reaching out to a client, while keeping attorneys and staff informed and in control.

External conversations are where most of the progress in a plaintiff case happens: gathering information and documents, coordinating next steps, and keeping important case work moving. Communications with people outside the firm make up roughly two-thirds of a typical firm’s work, yet that work is scattered across different systems, making it difficult for firms to have a contextualized single source of truth for case details stemming from disparate communication channels. For plaintiff firms, the value goes beyond consolidating communications. Case Communications lets Supio run more of the mundane work so people can focus on judgment.

Supio can connect to the communications systems firms already use directly. This new capability builds on the company’s Long-Horizon Agents announcement in September, expanding Supio Agent’s ability to leverage AI beyond assistive support to task execution. By leveraging each case’s existing context, Case Communications allows Supio to drive case resolution and ideal outcomes.

“Communication with other parties makes up a huge percentage of the work on plaintiff cases, but it is also where important case-related details can easily get lost,” said Jerry Zhou, CEO and Co-Founder of Supio. “The Case Communications layer not only captures every important detail, but it also organizes information to where it belongs. It actively helps firms avoid lag and misfires when actioning these tasks, so that cases keep moving forward.”

Toward long-horizon casework

By capturing conversation-based details, Supio Agent not only consolidates all case-related communications into a single place, but also takes action across important areas of case building, like making the next important call, chasing the key medical record needed to shore up case documentation, or autonomously updating a case file. This creates a continuous loop between information, intelligence and action. Case Communications enables Supio Agent to:

Capture and automatic routing: Inbound calls and their transcripts, texts – including photos of documents – emails, and faxes are linked to the right case as they arrive.Information management and case alignment: Case Communications digests incoming information, updates contacts and case memory, and files tasks, each with instructions for how to work it – all autonomously. For example, when a case is waiting on client information, the agent can reach out to the client for the missing details and keep the case file up to date.Automatic, contextualized action: From that conversation analysis, Case Communications can proactively reach out by voice, text, email, or fax to close on the next best action that doesn’t require a human to drive the task forward. It can draft HIPAA-compliant authorization requests, follow up with providers and clients, and close out tasks as responses come back, reporting to the team along the way. Supio Agent can autonomously handle end-to-end casework, from opening insurance claims and navigating carrier calls to requesting and chasing medical records, while keeping attorneys and staff in the loop with the ability to step in at any time.

These capabilities extend the long-horizon agent model into the work that often requires persistence rather than judgment. It can perform important follow-up tasks via the appropriate communication channel necessary for completing case documentation, and work across days and weeks without requiring a person to manage every individual step.

These are examples of Case Communications starting points, not the limit. The workflows firms already run become templates for best practices, and can turn firm-specific operational preferences into strategic advantage. Case Communications also lets firms apply their best practices consistently across every case, raising the bar for the firm’s entire caseload without requiring more resources for operational or change management.

Introducing Agent Simon

Firm-specific strategies and techniques can be customized to determine not just what needs to happen next, but how the firm would approach it. Such is the case for Agent Simon, a new collaboration co-built with Simon Law Group. Built around the workflows, strategies and techniques developed by Simon Law Group and informed by Bob Simon’s experience, Agent Simon gives other firms a way to access and apply that institutional knowledge to their own cases.

The collaboration demonstrates a broader opportunity: a firm’s hard-won expertise no longer has to remain confined to the people who developed it. Firms can codify how they evaluate cases, prepare for depositions, work files, and approach recurring situations by applying those strategies for continuous improvement. It gives firms a way to capture and share institutional knowledge, demonstrating how the specialized expertise of one firm, in this case Simon Law Group, can be leveraged by others to drive stronger client outcomes.

“I’ve spent 20 years building how I size up a case, prep a deposition, and work a file, and for most of that time it only lived in my head,” said Robert Simon, co-founder of the Simon Law Group, Attorney Share, and Bourbon of Proof. “Agent Simon gets it out of my head and into something every lawyer can actually use, and I keep teaching it how I think, so it only gets sharper. That is what happens when a firm quits guarding its playbook and puts it in the game. When we share what we know, the best people win.”

Together, Agent Simon and Case Communications represent the next extension of Supio’s vision for FirmOS. Rather than limiting AI to drafting, summarizing or recommending individual tasks, Supio Agent can take the best practices of firm expertise – whether your own or another firm’s – and execute and manage long-running workflows that require context, persistence and coordination across multiple systems and interactions.

For attorneys and staff, that means spending less time on the operational work required to keep cases moving and more time on work that requires human judgment. For firms, it means building stronger cases from the start and taking on more work without the need to hire more staff.

By

Marc Booker and Justin Hallock to share lessons from creating more than 5,000 competency-based education graduates in six years

PHOENIX, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — University of Phoenix is pleased to announce that Marc Booker, Ph.D., vice provost of Strategy, and Justin Hallock, senior director of Change Management, will present at CBExchange 2026, taking place Sept. 30-Oct. 3 in Orlando, Florida. The annual event brings together educators, employers, policymakers and innovators to advance skills-based and competency-driven approaches that strengthen connections between learning and work.

Booker and Hallock will present the session, “Creating 5,000 CBE Graduates in 6 Years,” on Oct. 3. The session will explore how University of Phoenix aligned academic, operational, technology and data functions to build and scale a competency-based education (CBE) ecosystem that has supported more than 5,000 graduates since its inception.

“Over the past six years, we’ve seen how competency-based education can create more flexible pathways for learners to demonstrate their skills and knowledge while progressing toward their educational goals,” said Booker. “Successfully scaling CBE requires strong collaboration across academic, operational and technology teams, along with a shared commitment to supporting learners where they are at. Those efforts have helped us build a model that continues to evolve based on learner needs while maintaining a focus on quality, flexibility, value, and relevance.”

How Competency-Based Education Supports Working Adult Learners

University of Phoenix has a longstanding commitment to educational innovation designed to support working adult learners. The University’s competency-based education offerings provide flexible pathways that align learning with career goals and evolving workforce needs.

That work is further reflected in the University of Phoenix whitepaper, A Holistic Perspective to Creating Successful CBE Programs at Scale, co-authored by Booker and Hallock. The paper outlines lessons learned from designing, implementing and scaling competency-based education programs and offers insights for institutions exploring skills-focused learning models.

As employers increasingly prioritize skills and demonstrated competencies, University of Phoenix continues to contribute to conversations shaping the future of higher education and workforce readiness. Booker and Hallock are among the University’s leaders regularly invited to share their expertise at national conferences and industry events. In 2026, University representatives participated in the AACRAO Annual Meeting, ASU+GSV Summit, 1EdTech Learning Impact Conference, SXSWEDU Conference and PESC Data Summit, helping advance discussions around learning innovation, student success and workforce-aligned education.
