Route law-firm calls to the right department with AI intake

A growing Phoenix law firm used an AI receptionist with custom playbooks to answer every call 24/7, collect precise intake information and route requests to legal, finance or sales, without hiring more staff.

Reported results

  • Qualitative: the source reports no missed calls and faster intake without new full-time hires; a client complimented the firm after an AI call.

How to try it

  1. Write a playbook per call type (new case, existing client, billing).
  2. Define the exact intake fields for each.
  3. Route summaries to the right inbox automatically.
  4. Sample calls weekly to check tone in stressful situations.

⚠️ Watch out
