Frequently asked questions
- What can a WhatsApp chatbot do for law firms?
- An AI assistant on the WhatsApp Business Platform that handles inbound messages, sends approved notifications and keeps the conversation in the app customers already use. 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. Conversations sync to your CRM or help desk, and the bot can look up bookings, orders or account details through your existing systems.
- How long does rollout take?
- WhatsApp requires a verified Business account and pre-approved message templates, so rollout includes registering the number and getting templates approved before going live.
- 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.
