Your New High-Value Offer for Lawyers: The AI Intake Paralegal
let's talk about one of the most valuable, time poor, and tech underserved professional groups out there: lawyers and attorneys. Their entire business model is based on one thing: billable hours. Every minute they spend on the phone with a potential client who isn't a good fit is money they are literally losing. This is their biggest operational headache. Their websites attract all sorts of inquiries, and they waste countless non-billable hours on discovery calls, asking the same qualifying questions over and over, only to find out: - The case is outside their practice area (e.g., a divorce query to a personal injury lawyer). - The case doesn't meet the basic legal threshold. - The person can't afford their services. This is a massive, expensive problem. And it's a problem you can solve for them with Askspot. Instead of pitching them "marketing" or a "chatbot," you're going to pitch them an "AI Case Intake & Client Qualifier." With the Spotlight feature (combined with the Flow), you can build them an intelligent, 24/7 AI paralegal that works as their front line, filtering every lead before it ever touches the attorney's calendar. Here’s the "magic trick" you can build and sell: 1. You map out their intake process. You sit down with the attorney and ask for their "knockout questions" the first 3 5 questions they ask on every call to see if a case is viable. For a Personal Injury lawyer: "When did the accident happen?" "Were you injured?" "Was a police report filed?" For a Family Law attorney: "Are you legally married?" "Do you have minor children?" "Do you and your spouse agree on the major issues?" 2. You build their "Confidential Case Intake" Spotlight.* First, you use the Flow Builder to create a guided path. This is key. It's not a chat; it's a smart, conversational form.* It starts with a welcome and a clear disclaimer. Then, it asks the knockout questions.* Using conditional logic within your flow, you can create branches. If a prospect's answer is an immediate disqualifier, the flow can politely guide them to a "Thank You" page with helpful resources (like the state bar association), without ever creating a task for the attorney.* If the prospect does qualify, the flow continues, gathering their contact information and the rest of the case details.
