Frequently asked questions

What can an appointment scheduling chatbot do for law firms?
An AI assistant that books, reschedules and confirms appointments through conversation, checking real availability so customers don't have to call or email back and forth. For law firms, common starting points are intake: collecting the basic facts of a potential matter; routing enquiries to the right practice area or attorney; scheduling consultations and answering questions about fees and process.
Does it work with the tools law firms already use?
Yes — the goal is to fit around legal practice management and intake software, document management and calendars, not replace them. It reads and writes to Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly-style booking tools or industry scheduling systems, and records bookings in your CRM.
How long does rollout take?
The key decisions are which appointment types can be self-booked, what information must be collected first, and the rules for buffers and cancellations.
How is legal advice and confidentiality handled?
The assistant should never give legal advice. It can be scripted to collect facts, explain process and book consultations, with clear disclaimers and a quick route to a person.
