AI Chatbot for Law Firms: Website Intake and Qualification

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Your AI receptionist answers calls on a real phone number and is built and operated by AIQ Labs specifically for your firm's intake process. During a scoping call we map how you want calls handled — what to ask, what to qualify, and when to route a caller to your team — so the agent represents your firm the way you'd want a trained intake specialist to.","question":"Can an AI receptionist actually handle legal intake calls without sounding robotic to potential clients?"},{"answer":"Those are exactly the high-intent calls firms miss most. Your AI receptionist answers on a real phone number around the clock — evenings, weekends, lunch — engages the caller, captures the details, and can book a consultation so your attorneys wake up to qualified leads instead of voicemails. We scope the exact handling on your call.","question":"What happens to after-hours calls from someone who was just arrested or in an accident?"},{"answer":"Yes — Agents by AIQ builds and connects your agents to the tools your firm already uses, including workflow automation across your existing stack. We're not asking you to replace anything; we design the agent around your current setup during the build.","question":"Does the agent integrate with our practice management software and CRM?"},{"answer":"It starts with a scoping call where we learn your intake process and tools. From there, AIQ Labs designs, builds, connects, and runs your agent — a done-for-you process, not a self-serve setup. Because it's month-to-month and you own everything, there's no lengthy contract negotiation to slow things down.","question":"How long does it take to get an intake agent up and running?"},{"answer":"Most chatbot products are DIY wrappers you configure and maintain yourself. Agents by AIQ is a done-for-you agent build — one team designs, builds, connects, and operates your receptionist, follow-up, and appointment-setting agents together. You get month-to-month terms, you own everything we build, and it's run by AIQ Labs, the team behind the AI Business Sites platform.","question":"How is this different from hiring a legal answering service or using a chatbot widget?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Book a Scoping Call","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Tell us about your firm's intake challenges — missed calls, slow follow-up, after-hours gaps — and we'll map what an agent could handle for you."},{"step":"2","title":"We Design and Build Your Agent","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"AIQ Labs sketches, builds, and connects your intake agent to the tools your firm already uses — then runs it for you.

Instead of a prospective client hitting voicemail and calling the next firm, they get an immediate response, initial case screening questions, and a warm transfer or booked consultation. Nearly 8 in 10 legal consumers expect a response within 24 hours, and most firms can't deliver.

Of the firms that miss a call, only 20% ever return it.
