Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI handle callers with complex requests that it can't answer?

The AI is trained on your firm's common intents and can handle most scheduling and general inquiry calls. If a caller needs to discuss a complex legal matter, the AI can take a detailed message or transfer to voicemail with a priority flag. You can also configure it to connect to a live human during office hours. The goal is to handle routine scheduling so your team only deals with high-value conversations.

Can the AI integrate with my existing calendar or CRM?

Yes, the AI Receptionist integrates seamlessly with popular calendar platforms like Google Calendar, Outlook, and many case management systems. Integration is straightforward and we guide you through the setup. The AI reads availability in real time and writes appointments directly, eliminating double-booking.

Is the AI available for after-hours calls, and how does that work?

Absolutely. The AI works around the clock, so when your office is closed, it still answers calls exactly as during business hours. Callers can book appointments, schedule consultations, or leave detailed messages. All appointments are synced to your calendar, and you receive a notification. This ensures you never lose a lead just because it's 9 PM.

What if the AI misunderstands a caller or makes a mistake?

The AI is designed with fallback paths—when it's uncertain, it may ask clarifying questions or repeat the info to confirm. You can review call transcripts and recordings to ensure quality. Over time, you can refine the AI's responses and intents. In practice, the accuracy is very high, and errors are far fewer than with busy human staff.

How secure is the AI? Are client conversations recorded and stored?

Security is a top priority. All calls are encrypted, and data is stored securely in compliance with industry standards. You can choose retention policies for recordings and transcripts. The system does not share data with third parties. For law firms, we can also support HIPAA and other confidentiality requirements if needed.

Can callers still request a human if they prefer?

Yes, you can customize the script to offer an option to speak with a live person during office hours. The AI can transfer the call to your team. After hours, the AI can take a message for a callback. This flexibility ensures callers feel heard while maximizing efficiency.
