AI Receptionist gives law firm websites a legal intake path: answer basic questions from firm-approved facts, capture potential-client details, show consultation times, and follow up when someone leaves before booking. It does not give legal advice.
The useful proof is practical: potential clients ask before they book, law firms miss first-contact moments, online leads cool quickly, and language access can decide whether the conversation continues.
