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.

3. You train the AI on legal basics (Sources Tab). You upload a simple glossary of terms. This allows the built in AI Chat to act as a jargon buster. A user can ask "What does 'contingency fee' mean?" and get a simple answer, making the firm feel more approachable.

4. You replace their "Contact Us" form. This Spotlight becomes the primary way new clients make an inquiry on their website.

Now, a potential client visits the lawyer's site at midnight. They are guided through the secure intake process. The system automatically qualifies them, gathers their information, and educates them on the next steps.

Why This Offer is Irresistible to a Lawyer:

It Sells Them Back Their Time. This is the core value proposition. You are building them a system that filters out unqualified inquiries and stops them from wasting their most valuable asset—their time—on unproductive calls.
It Delivers Higher Quality Leads. The attorney now only speaks with pre-vetted prospects who understand the basics of the process. The initial consultation is no longer about fact-finding; it's about strategy.
It's a 24/7 Lead-Capture Machine. It works nights, weekends, and holidays, ensuring no potential high-value case ever falls through the cracks because someone couldn't answer the phone.
It Makes Them Look Incredibly Modern. While their competitors have static, 20-year-old websites, your client has a sophisticated, intelligent intake process. It builds instant credibility and trust.

This is your ultimate "foot in the door" strategy for the legal field. You're not just another marketer; you're an efficiency consultant. You're solving a problem that directly impacts their revenue and their sanity.

Go build a demo and show a local attorney how you can change their practice.
