Your AI Intake Agent That Never Sleeps, Never Bills by the Hour

It's 11pm. A potential client visits your site asking about divorce cases. Your AI agent confirms your practice area, asks qualifying questions about jurisdiction, children, and property - collects their details, emails an intake summary to the managing partner, adds them to your pipeline as "New Intake - Family Law," and emails a confirmation: "We received your inquiry, an attorney will call you by 10am tomorrow." All before you finish dinner.

Your Best Leads Call After Hours. Right Now, They're Leaving.

67% of legal inquiries happen outside business hours. Someone in a custody dispute doesn't wait until Monday at 9am to look for a lawyer. They search at 11pm, find your website, see no one is available - and click to the next firm on the list.

Traditional solutions don't fix this. A contact form sits there passively. Smith.ai charges $140+/month for live receptionists who still can't access your practice management system. Ruby Receptionist costs $230+/month and can only take a message.

What if your website could do what your best paralegal does - but at 11pm, in Spanish, on a Sunday? Not just answer questions. Actually qualify the lead, collect intake details, check jurisdiction, email the right attorney, add the matter to your pipeline, and confirm with the client via WhatsApp - all in one conversation.

That's what an AI agent does. Not a chatbot that says "leave a message." An agent that takes action.

Watch an Entire Client Intake Happen Automatically

Here's what happens when someone visits your site after hours

1

Visitor Asks a Question

"Do you handle divorce cases?" - Your AI agent confirms your practice areas using your actual website content. No hallucinated answers, no legal advice given. Just clear, accurate information about your firm's services.

  • Trained on your practice area pages
  • Anti-hallucination - only answers from your content
  • States: "I can help you understand our services, but I'm not a lawyer"
  • 95+ languages supported
2

AI Qualifies the Lead

The agent asks the right intake questions: jurisdiction, timeline, whether children are involved, property considerations. It verifies the matter falls within your practice areas and checks for statute of limitations concerns.

  • Practice area matching
  • Jurisdiction verification
  • Statute of limitations alerts
  • Conflict check initiation (flagged for human review)
3

Contact Details Collected

Name, email, phone, preferred contact method - captured naturally inside the conversation. No clunky form redirect. The lead flow feels like talking to a helpful intake coordinator.

  • Structured question flows in chat
  • Email and phone validation
  • Preferred contact time captured
  • Urgency level assessed
4

Intake Summary Emailed to Attorney

The managing partner gets an email with the full intake summary: case type, key facts, jurisdiction, contact details, and the complete conversation transcript. Ready for attorney review first thing in the morning.

  • AI-generated case summary
  • Full conversation transcript
  • Key facts highlighted
  • Routed to the right practice group
5

The lead appears in your Boei deal pipeline as "New Intake - Family Law" with all details attached. Track it from first contact through consultation to retained client. Or push it to Clio, MyCase, or PracticePanther via webhook.

  • Auto-tagged by practice area
  • Pipeline stage: New Intake
  • Webhook to Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther
  • Rocket Matter and LawPay compatible
6

Client Gets WhatsApp Confirmation

The potential client immediately receives: "We received your inquiry about family law. An attorney will call you by 10am tomorrow." They go to bed knowing their matter is in good hands. A follow-up is scheduled automatically.

  • WhatsApp confirmation sent instantly
  • Email confirmation as backup
  • Follow-up reminder scheduled
  • SMS option available

AI Agent Actions Built for Legal

Not a chatbot that answers questions. An agent that runs your intake process.

Practice Area Matching

Visitor describes their situation, AI maps it to the right practice area and routes to the correct attorney. Family law, personal injury, business disputes, immigration - handled automatically.

Conflict Check Initiation

AI flags potential conflicts by collecting opposing party names and matter details. Always routed to human review - the AI initiates the check, an attorney completes it.

Intake Qualification

Custom qualifying questions per practice area. Divorce? Ask about children, property, timeline. Personal injury? Incident date, injuries, medical treatment. Business? Entity type, dispute amount.

Consultation Booking

Connect to Calendly or your calendar system. The AI books free consultations, captures pre-meeting details, and sends reminders. No scheduling back-and-forth.

Document Request Lists

Based on case type, the AI generates a checklist of documents the client should bring: financial statements for divorce, medical records for injury, contracts for business disputes.

Fee Estimate Calculation

Provide flat fee ranges or hourly estimates based on matter type. "Uncontested divorce filings start at $X. We offer free initial consultations to discuss your specific situation."

Jurisdiction Verification

Confirms the matter falls within your firm's jurisdiction. If not, politely explains and can suggest they search for local counsel. No wasted consultations on out-of-jurisdiction matters.

Statute of Limitations Alerts

For time-sensitive matters like personal injury or malpractice, the AI flags urgency based on incident dates. "Based on the date you mentioned, you may want to schedule a consultation soon."

Multi-Channel Follow-Up

Email the attorney. WhatsApp the client. SMS a reminder before the consultation. Add a follow-up task to the pipeline. One conversation triggers an entire workflow.

Boei vs. Legal Answering Services and Chatbots

Why pay $140-$230/mo for a message-taker when an AI agent does more for $19/mo?

Bottom line: Smith.ai and Ruby Receptionist are human answering services - they take messages during business hours for $140-$230+/month. Boei's AI agent qualifies leads, books consultations, emails attorneys, updates your pipeline, and confirms with clients via WhatsApp - 24/7 for $19/month. Clio's built-in chatbot handles basic intake but can't take actions or work across channels.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI for Law Firms

Does the AI give legal advice?

Never. The AI is designed to clearly state: "I can help you understand our services, but I'm not a lawyer." It provides information about your firm's practice areas, handles intake questions, and schedules consultations - but explicitly avoids giving legal advice. Built-in guardrails enforce this on every conversation.

How does it compare to Smith.ai or Ruby Receptionist?

Smith.ai ($140+/month) and Ruby Receptionist ($230+/month) are human answering services - they take messages during business hours. Boei's AI agent works 24/7/365, qualifies leads with custom intake questions, emails summaries to attorneys, adds leads to your pipeline, books consultations, and emails clients a confirmation - all for $19/month. It also speaks 95+ languages, which no answering service matches.

Can it integrate with Clio, MyCase, or PracticePanther?

Yes. Boei connects to legal practice management systems via webhooks. When a lead is qualified, intake data can be pushed directly to Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, or Rocket Matter. You can also connect LawPay for payment processing and Calendly for consultation scheduling. No manual data entry required.

What happens when someone actually needs a lawyer?

When visitors ask for legal advice, the AI appropriately declines and offers to schedule a consultation with an attorney. The full conversation - including all intake details, case type, jurisdiction, and contact information - transfers to the assigned attorney. They get everything they need to prepare for the call.

How does it handle conflict checks?

The AI collects opposing party names and matter details, then flags potential conflicts for human review. It never makes a conflict determination itself - that always requires attorney judgment. The system simply initiates the process by gathering the right information upfront.

Is client data kept confidential?

All data is stored on GDPR-compliant servers in Amsterdam. Communications are encrypted. A no-cookies mode is available. We provide a Data Processing Agreement on request. The system is designed with attorney-client sensitivity in mind, though we recommend reviewing with your bar association for specific ethical obligations.

How quickly can my firm go live?

Most law firms are live within a day. Point the AI at your website, and it learns your practice areas, attorney bios, and services automatically. Customize intake questions per practice area, set up email notifications, and embed on your site. No coding required. Our AI can build your initial chatbot from your website content in one click.

Can it handle multiple practice areas with different intake questions?

Absolutely. Configure different qualifying questions for family law, personal injury, business disputes, immigration, criminal defense, or any other practice area. The AI identifies the matter type from the conversation and asks the right questions. Each practice area can route to a different attorney.

What about statute of limitations concerns?

For time-sensitive matters like personal injury or medical malpractice, the AI can flag urgency based on incident dates mentioned in conversation. It doesn't calculate deadlines (that requires legal judgment), but it alerts the intake summary that the matter may be time-sensitive so attorneys can prioritize review.

How much does it cost compared to hiring a receptionist?

A full-time legal receptionist costs $2,500-$4,000/month in salary. Smith.ai charges $140+/month for limited call handling. Ruby Receptionist starts at $230+/month. Boei starts at $19/month and works 24/7/365 in 95+ languages. It doesn't call in sick, doesn't take lunch breaks, and handles unlimited conversations simultaneously.
