Noodle

Glade, which operates at noodle.shop, provides an AI-based case management workspace for law firms. Its stated approach is to build and maintain the case file automatically as work happens, covering the lifecycle from prospect intake through post-filing follow-up, so that firms can handle more matters without adding headcount. The product is organized around practice areas including bankruptcy law, immigration law, and general law.

The platform's workflow is presented in five stages — intake, collect, create, file, and post-filing. At intake, prospects can ask questions, book consultations, and complete intake forms directly on the firm's own website through an AI assistant, after which a branded client portal guides both the client and the firm's team through a sequenced list of steps such as signing a retainer, uploading documents and pay stubs, completing a questionnaire, reviewing the petition with an attorney, and preparing for the 341 meeting of creditors. The collect stage consolidates intake, billing, scheduling, e-signatures, payments, and document handling in a single workspace, with each item linked to the matter it belongs to. Matter records include case-level views for overview and steps, activity, notes, client communication, discussion, transcripts and follow-ups, along with structured fields for primary and secondary contacts, attorney, billing, properties, creditors, and income and expenses. Matters move through defined pipeline stages (for example data collection, processing, prepare petition, case filed, discharged), and case teams can combine lead attorneys, attorneys, paralegals, and document staff. Task-level tracking covers items such as credit report pulls, invoices awaiting review, and required bank statement uploads.

Business model

Software platform sold to law firms as the system of record and workflow layer for client matters, replacing separate intake, billing, scheduling, signature, payment, and document tools.

Traction

The company states its platform is used by firms across more than 30 US states. Van Horn Law Group's chief operating officer is quoted describing joint work with Glade on petition-filing workflows and efficiency, with the firm consistently filing 16 or more cases per week.

Latest developments

The company markets a feature called Case Intelligence, labeled as new, in which the case file builds itself as work is performed.
