Watson & Associates: an AI receptionist for a law firm

A new client who calls after hours will try the next firm if nobody picks up. We built an AI phone agent that answers, asks the right intake questions and books the consultation.

What did BetterAI build for Watson & Associates?

An AI phone receptionist for a law firm. It answers calls, asks intake questions about the matter, qualifies the lead and books the consultation on the calendar. It handles intake and scheduling only, so the lawyers' time goes to people who are ready to talk.

What problem does a law firm have with calls?

A new client calls after hours. If nobody picks up, they call the next firm. A receptionist who answers every call, asks the right questions and books the consultation keeps that first conversation from going to a competitor.

What we built

One agent, four jobs. It stops at intake and scheduling.

How does a call to the firm work?

The caller rings the firm and the AI answers. It asks intake questions about the matter, qualifies the lead, then books the consultation on the calendar.

What does the AI receptionist not do?

It does not give legal advice and it does not decide anything about a case. The agent handles intake and scheduling only. A person at the firm takes over from the booked consultation.

Which tools and channels are involved?

An AI voice agent on the firm's phone line, a set of intake questions written with the firm and a calendar for consultations. It is built on the same receptionist agent BetterAI offers to other businesses.
