    AI Agents for Lawyers

    Screen enquiries, book consultations, and handle intake 24/7 — with an AI agent built to support responsible data practices for legal practices.

    The Intake Bottleneck for Law Firms

    Law firms lose potential clients every day because they can't respond to enquiries fast enough. A person with a legal problem messages three firms and goes with the first that responds. An AI agent ensures you're always first.

    What an AI Agent Does for Law Firms

    • Answers initial enquiries instantly on WhatsApp, phone, and web
    • Conducts conflict checks before booking a consultation
    • Asks intake questions (matter type, urgency, jurisdiction)
    • Books consultations based on lawyer availability
    • Sends clients a pre-consultation questionnaire
    • Captures after-hours enquiries from distressed clients

    Conflict Checks and Intake

    Before booking a consultation, the AI can run a basic conflict check by asking who the other party is. It gathers the intake information you need — matter type, timeline, key facts — so your first consultation is productive, not a fact-finding exercise.

    Built to Support Responsible Data Practices

    Legal matters involve highly sensitive information. AgenticSA is built on infrastructure with encryption controls, access controls, and data minimisation capabilities. Law firms should assess their specific legal, security and data-processing requirements before configuring AI workflows involving sensitive matter details.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is client information kept confidential?

    The underlying platform uses encryption controls and access controls to help protect data, and we do not sell data to third parties. Law firms remain responsible for ensuring their use of the platform meets their own confidentiality and regulatory obligations.

    Can it do conflict checks?

    It can conduct a basic conflict screening by asking for the other party's name. Full conflict checks remain your responsibility.
