The Problem

Law firms lose 30-50% of potential clients due to slow intake response times and manual screening processes. Intake staff are expensive, inconsistent in qualification criteria, and unavailable outside business hours.

The Solution

An AI intake bot that engages potential clients via web chat, SMS, and phone, asks legally relevant screening questions, evaluates case merit using practice-specific criteria, collects supporting documents, and schedules consultations with the appropriate attorney, all available 24/7.

Executive Summary

An AI-powered intake and triage platform that helps law firms automatically screen potential clients, evaluate case merit, gather relevant documents, and route qualified leads to the right attorney. Reduces intake staff costs by 60% while improving lead-to-client conversion rates through 24/7 intelligent screening.
