Built For Legal Practices

The Legal Chatbot That Handles First-Contact Enquiries

Potential clients want a quick first response before they decide which firm to instruct. FastBots is an AI chatbot trained on your firm's services, FAQs and process — and it can act as an AI assistant for intake, gathering matter details and contact info, then handing the conversation to your team. It answers information requests, not legal advice.

Really Common Questions Legal Ask

What is a legal chatbot?

A legal chatbot is a website assistant trained on a law firm's services, fees, processes and FAQs. It answers the routine questions potential clients ask before they pick up the phone — areas of practice, consultation costs, opening hours, document requirements — and collects contact details so the intake team can follow up. It is an information and intake tool, not a substitute for a solicitor.

Can a chatbot give legal advice?

No, and FastBots should not be set up to. The bot can explain what a firm does, what a process looks like in general terms, and what information the team will need. Anything that requires applying the law to a specific person's situation should be flagged for a qualified solicitor. The chatbot does not create a solicitor-client relationship.

How does FastBots learn about my firm?

Point it at your website and it will crawl your practice-area pages, fee information, team bios and FAQs. You can also upload documents — client guides, intake forms, internal FAQs — and add Q&A pairs for the questions you hear every week. Most firms have a working bot within a few hours.

Will it replace our intake team?

No. It handles the repetitive part — area of practice, fees in general terms, opening hours, what documents to bring — and takes a structured enquiry when someone is ready. Your intake team then picks up qualified leads instead of fielding tyre-kickers and out-of-hours voicemails.

Waarom FastBots?

Why Legal Use FastBots

Beantwoording van vragen buiten kantooruren

Most people search for a solicitor in the evening or at the weekend. The chatbot answers general questions and takes details whenever they land on your site.

Structured Intake In The Chat

Use the lead form to collect matter type, opposing party, deadlines, contact details and preferred follow-up time — so the fee earner has context before the callback.

Clear About What It Can't Do

Set guardrails in Tune AI so the bot is upfront: it shares information, not legal advice, and complex questions go to a qualified solicitor.

Filters Out-Of-Scope Enquiries

If you don't take legal aid or you don't handle criminal work, the bot can say so politely instead of wasting a callback slot from your team.

Live Chat When It Matters

On the Business plan and above, a fee earner or paralegal can take over the conversation when an enquiry looks urgent or high value.

Trained On Your Practice Areas

Crawl your conveyancing, employment, family or commercial pages so answers reflect what your firm actually does — not generic legal content.

Leads Emailed To The Right Team

New enquiries are emailed to whoever you nominate — intake, the relevant practice group, or a Zapier workflow that drops them into your CRM.

Reviewable Chat History

Every conversation is logged. You can see exactly what was said, spot questions the bot couldn't answer, and tighten the training as you go.

Praktijksituaties

Waar het zijn geld waard is

First-Contact Triage

Find out whether the enquiry is conveyancing, employment, family or commercial — and whether it's something your firm takes on — before booking a callback.

Registratie van aanvragen buiten kantooruren

Catch the evening and weekend enquiries that would otherwise hit voicemail or go to the next firm on the search results.

Fee And Consultation Questions

Answer the constant 'how much does it cost?' and 'do you offer a free initial call?' questions using your published fee structure.

Conveyancing Quote Requests

Collect property value, location, freehold/leasehold and chain status, then pass the details to the conveyancing team for a proper quote.

Employment Dispute Intake

Gather employer name, role, dates and a short summary of what happened — enough for the employment team to triage on the callback.

Document Checklist Questions

Tell new clients what to bring or send across — ID, payslips, contracts, correspondence — based on the matter type.

Practice-Area Information

Explain in plain English what a typical probate, divorce or commercial-lease matter involves so clients arrive informed.

Routine Email Replies

On the Business plan and above, the bot can draft replies to routine inbound emails using your firm's information, ready for a fee earner to review.

Huisstem

Professional, careful and reassuring. Provide information about the firm and its processes — never legal advice. If a question requires applying the law to the visitor's situation, ask for contact details and pass it to a qualified solicitor.

Stel je huisregels vast

In Tune AI, tell the bot it gives information not legal advice, which matter types you take on, what fees to quote in general terms, and when to ask for contact details and hand over to the team.

Heb je vragen?

Veelgestelde vragen

Dit zijn de vragen die we het vaakst krijgen voordat teams zich aanmelden. Als jouw vraag er niet bij staat, reageert ons ondersteuningsteam op werkdagen binnen enkele uren.

Will the chatbot give legal advice to my visitors?

No, and you shouldn't set it up to. FastBots is an information and intake tool. It can explain what your firm does, how a process generally works and what fees look like, but anything that requires applying the law to a specific situation is flagged and passed to a qualified solicitor. We recommend adding a short disclaimer to the welcome message so visitors know what to expect.

Does using the chatbot create a solicitor-client relationship?

No. The bot is positioned as a general information assistant. You can make this explicit in the welcome message and in the Tune AI instructions so the bot reinforces it during the conversation. A formal retainer only begins through your firm's normal engagement process.

Can it book appointments with our fee earners?

Not natively. The chatbot captures the enquiry — matter type, contact details and preferred times — and emails it to your team, or pushes it into your scheduling tool through a Zapier or Make workflow. For a confirmed booking, point the visitor at your existing calendar link or have intake follow up.

Is it confidential? What happens to client information?

Conversations and lead details are stored in your FastBots dashboard and emailed to the addresses you nominate. FastBots states its data handling is GDPR compliant and that uploaded data is not used to train OpenAI's models. For sensitive matters, we'd still recommend telling visitors to share only the information needed to make contact, and to discuss the details on a secure call with a solicitor.

Will it replace our receptionist or intake team?

No. It handles the repetitive front-end — practice areas, fees in general terms, opening hours, document checklists, out-of-hours messages — and takes structured enquiries. Your team then spends time on real conversations with qualified prospects instead of triaging every inbound message.

Can a real person take over the conversation?

Yes, on the Business plan ($89/month) and above. You enable Live Chat, set availability hours, and a fee earner or paralegal can claim the conversation, see what's been said, and continue in real time. Outside availability hours, the bot collects details and promises a callback.

What about questions we don't handle, like criminal law?

Tell the bot in Tune AI which matter types you take on and which you don't. If someone asks about something outside your scope — criminal defence, immigration, anything you've excluded — it can politely say the firm doesn't handle that area and suggest they look elsewhere. That saves your intake team from declining calls all day.

Hoe lang duurt het om alles op te zetten?

The first version is usually live in around 5 minutes — crawl your website, paste the embed code, done. Getting the tone, scope and lead form right for a law firm typically takes another hour or two of refining. Most firms then review Chat History weekly and tighten the training based on what visitors are actually asking.

Does it integrate with our case management system?

There's no native integration with legal case management platforms. You can route captured enquiries into most CRMs and spreadsheets through a Zapier or Make workflow once the chat ends. Email notifications are built in and work out of the box.

Wat kost het?

There's a free plan with 1 chatbot and 50 messages a month so you can build and test on your own site. Paid plans start from $39/month, and Live Chat with human takeover is on the Business plan at $89/month. No credit card needed to start.
