Sarah, a sole practitioner, was losing billable hours because she had to screen all calls manually and often missed leads when in meetings or after hours.
After deploying the AI receptionist, her calls are answered instantly, potential clients are screened with intake questions, and only priority calls are forwarded to her mobile.
Most solo practitioners go live within one hour. The process involves selecting a template (e.g., 'Law Firm Receptionist'), connecting your phone number, and recording a custom greeting. No technical expertise required — our step-by-step wizard guides you through each stage. You can even test the system with a friend before going live to ensure everything sounds perfect.
The AI receptionist is designed for initial intake, scheduling, and answering frequently asked questions (e.g., office hours, directions, practice areas). For complex legal queries, it can be programmed to politely say 'Let me connect you directly with the attorney' and either forward the call or take a detailed message. You retain full control over when to engage personally.
Yes. The system supports out-of-the-box integrations with popular tools like Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, Clio, and LawPay. When a caller schedules a consultation, the AI adds it directly to your calendar and logs the lead in your CRM. No manual data entry needed.
We take security seriously. All calls are encrypted end-to-end, and voice data is stored in compliance with industry standards like GDPR and HIPAA (where applicable). For law firms, we offer data residency options to keep all recordings and transcripts within your jurisdiction. You can also customize the privacy policy your AI recites at the start of each call.
We offer a simple flat monthly fee per phone number, with no per-minute charges. Plans start at a fraction of the cost of a part-time human receptionist. There are no long-term contracts — you can cancel anytime. Higher tiers include advanced features like custom vocabulary, call transfers, and detailed analytics.
You can keep your existing number and provider. The AI receptionist sits in front of your current phone system, so it answers first, handles the call, and only forwards to you when needed (or takes a message). We support all major providers like RingCentral, Vonage, and Google Voice. Setup is as simple as pointing your number to our service.
