Questions firms ask
Careful by design.
Can it avoid giving legal advice?
Yes. Playbooks should instruct the assistant to capture intake details, answer approved office questions, and escalate instead of giving professional advice.
Can it support existing clients?
Yes. It can collect the reason for the call and route or task the appropriate person based on configured rules.
Can it summarize calls?
Yes. Call summaries and optional transcripts can help staff review what happened before returning the call.
Ready for cleaner intake?
