Practice fit

See where the assistant fits at your firm.

Each firm decides which questions it answers, what it asks for, when it books, and when your team steps in.

  1. Family-law firms

    Custody, support and divorce questions arriving after hours, on a website that already gets them.

    The assistant can

    Answer inside your rules, write the memo on your letterhead, classify urgency, and book the next open consultation.

  2. Firms with a receptionist

    Office hours stay with your front desk. The assistant takes evenings and weekends.

    The assistant can

    Hand your receptionist a written memo on Monday morning instead of a cold voicemail.

  3. Firms running a chat widget

    A widget that collects an email address and answers nothing is what most inquiries meet today.

    The assistant can

    Replace it on the same page, on the site you already have, with nothing for your staff to learn.

Questions about AI intake

What if it gives legal advice or says something wrong?

It cannot predict outcomes. Those phrases are banned at the prompt firewall level, every answer carries your disclaimer verbatim, and you approve the prompts before launch. You also see every memo it produces, so nothing it says is invisible to you.

We already have a receptionist. Why would we need this?

For office hours, you do not. This catches the after-hours custody question and the weekend overflow, and it hands your receptionist a written memo on Monday morning instead of a cold voicemail.

Our clients are sensitive about AI. Will this put them off?

It is branded as your firm assistant and it discloses what it is. Its job is to get someone to a human faster, with their situation already written up, which is close to the opposite of being handled by a machine.

How would I know whether it is working?

A monthly report: questions asked, consultations booked, matters signed. If it is not paying for itself you will see that too, and we would rather you cancel than resent it.
